Into the Fray: The Villain in Me

It is a question that has plagued man since the dawn of time… it is the eternal struggle… the fight between good and evil. In life of course we all strive to be the hero, the one people look to when they need help. For me however, video games changes that reality in an all too sadistic way. Playing as the villain is more fun than any hero story could have ever dreamed of being. Why stop and help that poor pedestrian when you can shoot them in the head and loot...

Painkiller Hell & Damnation Teaser Trailer

This title is looking pretty spiffy thus far. Being an overhaul of a previously released game, (Painkiller, 2004) and a pretty good one at that, I have my doubts as to the necessity of such a project. The teaser trailer for Painkiller Hell & Damnation is beautiful, and the game itself will be utilizing the Unreal 3 engine. These things combined, while not speaking directly to quality, are a good start to transforming my skepticism into excitement. Let us know what...

F’in Saved 12: Weeeeeeee…

I got this idea while browsing the internet for Slender related things. It seems that there has been a huge backlash against the game, calling it “lazy” and “not scary.” My mind raced to try and come up with a reason as to why people had such vitriol for this game. I eventually arrived at the conclusion that these internet tough guy’s imaginations had died long, long ago. That thought saddens me as with out just a bit of imagination you become a...

Hands On: Towns – A Good Mix of Genres

At first glance, this game doesn’t look much different from those click-and-collect, energy bar ridden, incredibly shallow -Ville games which permeate Facebook and have spawned dozens of even more gameplay-bereft clones. Yes, this game looks like FarmVille on the surface, but this indie town-building sim with RPG elements is well on its way to becoming a deep and complex game about settling in a lethally wild territory and clearing dungeons. Still in alpha, Towns is an...
