My research today was rewarded with the discovery of an interesting RTS title that I had not heard of before. The Manipulators is a RTS-stealth hybrid where you control an alien race who uses parasitic powers to manipulate and control the beings of Earth. The game has a strong focus on creating solid AI and implementing a well-designed stealth mechanic. ...

Today’s Greenlight spotlight is on Trench, an underwater 2.5D shooter developed by Howling Hamster Games. Trench caught my eye because it’s neat visuals and the idea of a shooting game based around a submarine. I’ve always been a fan of underwater environments in games, and there aren’t many games that choose it as their overall theme. However, Trench makes fantastic ...

My most fond memories of playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are from the Whodunit?-style quest that the game contains. I cannot tell you how many times I went back and replayed that quest because I just adore that sort of a murder mystery. I was also a huge fan of clue growing up, and these two passions of mine ...

In this day and age, nothing is safe. Because technology is so advanced, it’s nearly impossible to keep files from being leaked onto the Internet. Look at what has happened to Microsoft.  Their attempt to create a Russian exclusive Halo game resulted in the “El Dorito” hack.  The not-so-secret Halo: Online has been leaked. Now, modders are working on making the game available for everyone. ...

Today’s game of choice is Outland 17: Void of Liberty. Every once in a while a game comes around that tickles my love for historical fiction. Outland 17 takes place during the American Revolutionary War, although it is set far in the future. To be frank, the story is what really got me interested in having a closer look at ...

Insomniac Games is a household name in the gaming circle. From Spyro the Dragon to Ratchet and Clank, to the more recent Sunset Overdrive, Insomniac have been providing us with entertaining games for over a decade. One thing that Insomniac have not managed to do as of yet is to have one of their releases come to PC (still hoping ...

It would be impossible in this day and age for someone to not be familiar with World War II.  There are movies, and games, dealing with the science of the war and the individuals who fought in it.  For some of us, reliving those particular moments of history give us a fraction of what the war was like.  At the ...

https://youtu.be/LAPFct4dNsU Today is one of the rare days where there is more than one fantastic game on Steam Greenlight. While I decided to cover Wildfire for my spotlight, I wanted to be sure to give Outward – The Adventure Life Sim some attention as well. While I’m not typically a fan of these open-world survival type games, I can definitely ...

Today’s spotlight shines on Wildfire, a stealth platforming game with an interesting twist. In Wildfire, you possess the power to manipulate fire, and are being pursued by swordsmen, archers, and other members of a deadly army as they fear your gift. The reason that I thought Wildfire was the best game on Greenlight today was the addition of the innovative ...

During the Nintendo Direct on April 1, Nintendo announced that the Wii U virtual console would soon see games from the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS systems. Super Mario 64 and Yoshi’s Island DS were launched immediately after the presentation. This past Thursday (April 9), two new Nintendo DS games were added to the eShop: Yoshi Touch & Go and WarioWare: Touched! WarioWare has always ...
