  • Review: Mages of Mystralia

    Posted on January 29, 2019 | No Comments
    In the blur of game demos while attending PAX South a couple years ago, I vaguely recall playing the demo for Mages of Mystralia and enjoying the combat encounters and the concept of being able to create spell variations. Two years feels like forever ago, and […]

  • Review: Manual Samuel

    Posted on September 6, 2018 | No Comments
    Manual Samuel. The name of the game tells you everything you need to know right in the title.    Nothing Samuel does happens without the player putting in the manual effort to press a series of buttons. Sure, all game characters are basically digital mannequins […]

  • Gear Review: KontrolFreek Omni Performance Thumbsticks

    Posted on August 23, 2018 | No Comments
    The Omni is a total gamechanger in KontrolFreek’s arsenal of performance thumbsticks. What’s so unique and groundbreaking about the Omni? It’s all in the cross-hatch pattern covering the grip’s concave surface. Examined closely, you’ll notice that the Omni grip surface is a basket weave, each […]

  • Review: Extinction

    Posted on April 11, 2018 | No Comments
    Iron Galaxy has built a reliable reputation primarily as a contract studio porting games from larger developers to other platforms, but up to now the studio’s own titles have been smaller, indie-scale projects like Divekick and Wreckateer. Both of which were really fun. Extinction, the […]

  • Review: Minit

    Posted on April 6, 2018 | No Comments
    Minit condenses everything you know and love about the early top-down Zelda quests into a delightfully diminutive, cleverly constructed adventure that’s consumed and digested in bite-sized loops of 60 seconds, for an experience that feels old-fashioned and familiar yet still manages to spark your curiosity […]

  • Gear Review: Logitech G433 7.1 Wired Surround Gaming Headset

    Posted on November 17, 2017 | No Comments
    The last Logitech gaming headset I used, the G231 Prodigy, fell short of the quality I’ve come to expect from the company. While the audio quality was clear, the angular ear design felt awkward, the plastic casing felt bulky, cheap, and rickety, and even with […]

  • Review: Agents of Mayhem

    Posted on September 12, 2017 | No Comments
    Agents of Mayhem is the follow up to Volition’s Saints Row IV from, it’s hard to believe, four years ago now.  While Agents of Mayhem isn’t a direct sequel, it is definitely a spiritual successor set in a shared universe, with hints, winks, and nods […]
