How Jim Sterling Has YouTube and Steam to Blame for His Lawsuit
For those of you who haven’t seen, video game journalist Jim Sterling is being sued by Slaughtering Grounds developer Digital Homicide for over $10 million in the culmination of a years-long feud. Without going into too much detail, as Jim Sterling has already taken great lengths to archive virtually every step of the squabble (you […] More

‘Kholat’ – Chillingly Tense, Painfully Frustrating
After a successful PC release last summer, IMGN.PRO’s narratively-driven survival horror Kholat finally reaches the PS4. The title follows a popular trend within horror movies and games alike, as it’s story centres around “true events.” Specifically, the 1959 Dyatlov Pass Incident, where 10 students went missing in the Ural Mountains and 9 were later discovered to be dead. Players […] More

‘Devil Daggers’ – Suffering in Seconds
Three days ago, I saw a game called Devil Daggers on Steam. The name appealed to me, so I watched the promo video and looked at the screenshots, as one does. It was immediately obvious that this game was built for me and others like me. Software rendering at low resolution was an advertising bullet […] More

‘Medusa’s Labyrinth’ – An Indie Horror Highlight
Medusa’s Labyrinth Developed by Guru Games Available on PC I’m not normally a huge player of horror games (although I do enjoy games like Outlast from time to time), as I just don’t find them as appealing or varied as a good RPG or other styles of adventure games. There is no shortage of […] More

Burning Strong – ‘Firewatch’ is methodical, quiet and often lonely
“What’s wrong with you?” is the first thing main protagonist Henry is asked by his boss. In an ideal working environment this isn’t something you want to be asked, especially just after you’ve started your new job. This working environment however is anything but ideal, or even ordinary. Henry, due to a tragic series of […] More

‘Darkest Dungeon’s’ (Mostly) Uncompromising Design Choices
My love and excuses for Darkest Dungeon start sounding like an abusive relationship after a while. It’s a brutal game that punishes me terribly whenever I slip up, or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all, but I probably did something wrong to deserve it at some point. It’s by no means perfect, but its […] More

Turn off the Valve: Steam’s various issues
It’s a pretty good bet that you had a decent December 25. Spending time with, or as they case may be, away from your family or just basking in the loving glow of rampant consumerism. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, it’s a day off from work, school, or whatever. For most people Christmas […] More

Classic joke RPG ‘Dungeon Lords’, now available on Steam
A long time ago in an issue of a gaming magazine there was an email in their “Letters to the Editor” section that went along the lines: “Please help, I’ve accidentally purchased Dungeon Lords“. The response was telling the poor person to burn their computer, and the CD, and try and move on with their […] More

‘Killing Floor 2’ may have just killed itself
There was a time where I admired Tripwire Interactive. Red Orchestra remains one of the most interesting multiplayer shooters I’ve ever played, and Killing Floor is an excellent alternative to Left 4 Dead in terms of pure, unabashed zombie slaying. It was because of this that I took a risk and purchased Killing Floor 2 […] More

‘Undertale’ is a charming and unique revision of the RPG formula
Undertale made an impression on not only the indie scene but the entire video game world when it released last month. The result of a wildly successful campaign through Kickstarter which began two years ago, this revisionist take on the classic RPG was said to blend elements of Earthbound, Shin Megami Tensei and Touhou into an entirely originally package. The effort of over 2,000 backers and the mind of Toby Fox helped create one of the most unique and charming releases this year. More
