I’ll admit it. Multiplayer games are not as popular with me as they are with a lot of people. I find it difficult to get enough players together to play most co-op games, and I hate playing competitive multiplayer games because of the anger involved with most communities. There is, however, one game that solves both of those problems for ...
Read More »Steam Greenlight Spotlight: The Human Gallery
Today’s Greenlight spotlight is on The Human Gallery, a horror game that foregoes the jump scares and focuses entirely on messing with your head.

Every now and then I like to take a bit of time with a 4X game. It’s a nice change of pace from your typical shooter, and there’s something relaxing about the style of gameplay. My biggest gripe with games like Civilization 5 though was always the lack of diversity between teams – you may disagree with me. But, for ...
