Horizon Review – Turn-Based Space Strategy

I’m always looking for a new strategy game I can sink dozens of hours into and for the last couple of weeks that game has been Horizon. Developed by L3O and published by Iceberg Interactive, Horizon is a turn-based space strategy game. Following up my interest in StarDrive, I turned to Horizon. Does Horizon offer those hours upon hours of gameplay that a strategy should offer? Yes. You’ll choose from one of ten races. You can choose the technological level you...

Re: View – Ico: A Conflict of Interests

Ico is one of those games which is remembered fondly as a precursor to greater things. This game reminds me of others in that regard, making me think of Dark Cloud from Level 5, Metroid on NES, or any of a million firsts in a legacy. Granted, Team Ico’s catalog is much less full than either Level 5’s (a developer mostly known for their long, charming RPGs) or Samus’ titles. Nevertheless, I feel as if the two games they made have been so clearly different...

Ace Combat Infinity Hands On Preview

I have been crazy about fighter planes for as long as I can remember. If it wasn’t Top Gun, I was watching Wings on the Discovery Channel and consuming as much information as possible about fighter jets from all over the world. Fighter jets are maneuverable, extremely fast and blow shit up, so what’s not to like? With my affinity towards fighter jets it should come as no surprise that I’ve been a big fan of the Ace Combat series for a long time.  Specifically, I adore...

Through the centuries, their vigil has kept...

Respawn Entertainment on Multiplayer Campaign and More in Titanfall

One of the things that has me thinking the most about Titanfall is, “Is there a story?” We haven’t really heard much, but with Militia, IMC, Titans falling out of the sky and more, it would seem strange for there to be no story. Well luckily, the folks over at Major Nelson’s blog were able to sit down and ask Respawn dozens of questions. Not just any questions, but questions from the community. One of the questions from a man named Adam Bankhurst had...

Getting a Black Screen from Xbox One After the Latest Update?

Well hopefully you are not, but I definitely did last night. The black screen happens not too long after start up. I hit my home button during a game of Titanfall and the screen went black. You can still hear everything that is going on, just can’t see anything. Apparently many Xbox One users have experienced this as well, since there’s a nice long post on the Xbox Forums. It seems it mostly happens when going home from a game. There is a quick way to fix the...

The Humble Indie Bundles often range from amazing to mediocre with several sitting at average. This time, however, the offer is tilting heavily on awesome. The games included are: Guacamelee!

James reviewed it for PC and as his tagline suggests, you should bring a controller for the PC port. Dust: An Elysian Tail – I also had the privilege of reviewing this on Xbox 360...
