Taking risks and living with the consequences. That’s what the Banner Saga feels like, most of the time. Stoic’s universe seems to be carefully crafted from legends of old and faery-tales alike, and sets players into a deep, mature and deeply rewarding world filled with peril and battered-down warriors. For most of the time, you feel as if you’re not ...

The original Xperia Tablet Z was already among the slimmest and most attractive tablets, but Sony did even better with the Xperia Z2 Tablet. It’s the thinnest and lightest tablet on the market, featuring the highest water resistance available, and its slimmer waistline certainly improves the looks even further. Though water resistance is a big part of the Xperia Tablet ...

Mega Man Legacy Collection brings the first six Mega Man games to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo 3DS (to be released later this year). Digital Eclipse has done an exceptional job with porting these classic NES games to current-gen consoles. Not a pixel is out of place, and the original audio has been recreated with painstaking accuracy. The developer obviously ...

Adam Wolfe is a type of game that we don’t see very often anymore. Hidden object puzzles have been forced out of modern gaming, and the point and click adventure game has fallen out of favor with many modern gamers. It’s sad, really, because there’s a reason these games used to be so popular – they’re a lot of fun. Adam ...

Pokémon GO was announced last year, and people have been freaking out about it ever since. The original trailer (included below) blew everyone’s minds, and it was a tough wait. I mean, it’s a big deal – this is something we’ve all been dreaming of since the original Pokémon games came out! We’ve all wanted to set out on a Pokémon ...

Duelyst is a collectible card game for PC and Mac. Yes, I know that at this point, in 2016, that’s less exciting than it used to be. With TCG games like Hearthstone, Scrolls, Magic: The Gathering Online, and HEX (just to name a few) already on the scene, it’s increasingly harder to make a game that makes an impression. Luckily, though, Duelyst succeeds in many ways. ...

Zero Time Dilemma is the third and final entry in the Zero Escape series. The series began with 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors in 2009, and was followed by Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward in 2012. Now, the final installment is finally here. Zero Time Dilemma takes place between 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward. There are some sequels that are fully playable even if you haven’t ...

Odin Sphere originally came out in 2007. It was immediately recognized as one of the best RPGs on PlayStation 2, and for good reason – the story, gameplay, and graphics were top tier for the time. Now, in 2016, we get a chance to revisit the world of Odin Sphere with Odin Sphere Leifthrasir from Vanillaware and ATLUS. The game ...

As a series, DOOM has had quite the history. In 1993, the original DOOM was released, and it instantly became a hit. Since then, the series has only grown in popularity. DOOM, DOOM 2, and DOOM 3 rank among my favorite games – and I’m far from the only one. The first two games are pure FPS bliss, while DOOM 3 took things in a different direction that was ...

Lichdom: Battlemage initially released on PC in 2014. Earlier this year, the game was ported to Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which is what this review will cover. To describe it briefly, it’s a first-person shooter style game that replaces your guns and grenades with spells and mage-style abilities. It sounds like a perfect marriage between magical RPGs and fast-paced ...
