Lucas Pope, creator of the wonderful Papers, Please, has a new project in the works. The new game, Return of the Obra Dinn, is still a long way from completion but Mr. Pope’s previous game and the one image already has me excited. In Obra Dinn you play as an insurance adjustor for the East India Company. In 1802 a ship named the Obra Dinn set sail towards the Cape of Good Hope. It missed it arrival time and was said to be lost at sea. Six years later the boat floats...
If you follow gaming media in any capacity you have probably heard of Octodad: Dadliest Catch. If not prepare to have your mind blown.
While drafting this review I continually hit a wall in the form of the question “How do you review a game that is all about secrets?” Secrets, by their nature, are supposed to be hidden. So by explaining why Secrets of Rætikon is good I could easily ruin it. With that in mind, I have attempted to pen this review in a such a way as to withhold the secrets while also exploring the Secrets of Rætikon. Secrets of Rætikon places you in control of a man-bird-thing. You are...
When the original Hotline Miami was released it snuck right past me. The talk of egregious violence surrounding the game pushed me further away from it still. Through a Humble Bundle it ended up in my Steam library and got itself a pensive click. I immediately understood the error of my ways and proceeded to fall deep into a psychedelic killing haze. Bragging time: I actually Platinumed the game on Vita. With the ferocious love I hold for Hotline Miami, it is safe to assume...
Game Workshop’s Mordheim will get a video game adaption and I could not be happier. I am a Games Workshop fanboy. Even as I write this my living room table has three separate warhammer armies in different stages of completion. So when I read that another one of their tabletop games would get a video game adaptation, I peed my pants a little bit. You know, in excitement. Focus Home Interactive, the same company that published Blood Bowl, and Rogue Factor formally announced...
The Walking Dead Season 2 is almost upon us. With this release comes the typical trailer full of dramatic feelings and feels. The trailer contains nearly no spoilers, but if you want to stay completely in the dark, avoid it. The Walking Dead: Season 2 will be available starting December 17th and Steam users can Pre-order it for a reduced price.
Gamers round the world, some bearly awake, watched in dissipation to the Atlas Livestream this morning. Four new games were announced: Persona Q: Shadows of the Labyrinth, a chibi dungeon crawler for 3DS; Persona 4: Arena 2, a sequel to the loved fighting game for PS3; and Persona 4: Dancing All Night, which is… a dancing game for the Vita. While those are all fine, Atlas waited until the beary end of the stream to announce the real juggernaut, Persona 5. No real...

Sometimes miracles do happen. Case in point: Duke Nukem 3D on the Vita. While this may not be a miracle for you, its is nothing short of a blessing from above for me. It is somewhat akin to the amazing spoon you never knew you wanted. You have used spoons before, you understand how spoons work, heck, you might even go so far as to say you enjoy spoons. Then this new spoon comes along, it has the same design of old spoons but is somehow “different.” This spoon has all the...
2011 saw the release of the film Drive, and it became an instant favorite for myself and many others. A lot of people took notice of Nicolas Winding Refn’s mesmerizing film, especially it seems Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin of Dennaton Games, as Hotline Miami is love letter to the almost beautiful brutality of that film. Originally released on PC in October of 2012 and subsequently nominated for and winning a slew of year end awards, Hotline Miami has finally...
