The Escapists has just launched on the PlayStation 4, following their original release on Steam’s Early Access (August 2014) and Xbox One (February 2015). Developed by Mouldy Toof Studios and Team17 Digital, The Escapists is a game about one thing: getting out of prison. The idea of a jailbreak may sound tough to begin with, but this top-down puzzler tasks you with mundane activities within the prison, all slowly building to your eventual escape. From trade quests...
Review: 3D Realms Anthology – Part I: 3D Realms (or Apogee Software, LTD as it was known officially) is a company that needs little introduction. Anyone who played games on the PC in the 80s and 90s has most likely played a game from 3D Realms at some point, be it intentionally or by virtue of their friends. They were champions of the shareware style of game distribution, allowing users to try out their many titles for free (on a limited basis) before buying. Often...
Crypt of the NecroDancer is the first rougelike game I’ve played in a long time that I felt like I was always on the cusp of victory, instead of always on the brink of defeat. That was by design though. Vancouver based developer Brace Yourself Games intended their title to be approachable and fair, while still encouraging players to learn the nuances of the game and raise their skill level high enough to see continued success. The idea is clearly working for them, as...
Five Nights at Freddy’s, Scott Cawthon’s indie-action-adventure-horror game that was released, surprisingly, to much herald earlier this year is back for more. After the sad closure of Freddy Fazbear’s pizza chain, it appears the company is back. With a new crew of characters installed with facial-recognition and kid friendly software tied in with a local crime network database. In the words of the games new Steam Greenlight page “What could go...
When I was preparing for PAX East a few weeks ago and deciding what games I would want to cover I received an e-mail from Cartoon Network Games listing the various releases they would be displaying. My eyes immediately jumped to Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake which I knew absolutely nothing about except that the name made me smile. Well, I can happily report that sometimes you can judge a game by its title, as Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is one of the most charming video...
The 16-bit side-scrolling mech shooter GIGANTIC ARMY came out on Steam on March 6 and feels like the arcade games I played more than 15 years ago. I would rather this game stay in the past with the other arcade games from that part of my life. GIGANTIC ARMY takes less than a hour to beat in a single run, and you have to beat it in one go. In the arcade game style you have four lives, including the one you start with, to make it through the game’s six levels. Which...
Adventure Park is just what you may think it is, a theme park management simulator in the same vein as Roller Coaster Tycoon. It has everything you’d expect in a theme park simulator, its got your roller coasters, your stand alone rides, mazes, drink and food stands, themed decorations and more. With Adventure Park providing you with all you’d expect from this type of simulator, does it pull it altogether to give you those dozens (hopefully) of hours of gameplay...
Other game companies must wonder why people are so in love with Valve and Steam. It is because they do things like this. Everyone with a Steam account can go grab Left 4 Dead 2 totally free. Normally I would add something here about how I stayed up until midnight for the original release of this game but it is Christmas. So go grab the game and spend time with your family as it installs.
The Walking Dead Season 2 is almost upon us. With this release comes the typical trailer full of dramatic feelings and feels.
