We've covered this one quite a bit over the last few months - so why stop now?
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - Movie Review
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. reminds me of Hitman: a top agent helps a courageous woman to find her missing scientist father, whose highly advanced work is involved in a nefarious plan. As in Hitman, her father remains unseen during most of the movie and her role changes suddenly after a certain point. However, U.N.C.L.E. is different, as it takes place during the Cold War and there are two agents protecting the woman, an American and a Soviet.
Celestian Tales: Old North - PC Review
Kickstarters have been all the rage of late for the funding of projects that would most likely never see the light of day without them. Celestian Tales: Old North is one such title from Ekuator Games that is a throwback to an older RPG era of gaming. With beautiful hand drawn designs, players choose one of six Nobles to control as they make it through Squire Training in order to better serve their realm.
Zombie Vikings - PS4 Review
The visuals and humor will make an impression, though the combat is simply good and the end result is solid if not spectacular. Zombie Vikings makes a good impression and is a welcome addition to the beat-'em-up genre, but does not do much to set itself apart outside of the graphic style.
Win one of two HyperX Cloud Gaming Headsets from Kingston!
Hello everyone! While we periodically reward you with a code or two for a game that we found fantastic (looking at you, Agarest series), we wanted to do something a bit different this time around.
Hitman: Agent 47 - Movie Review
The Hitman movie of 2007 was based on the famous video game series with a genetically enhanced assassin known as agent 47. It was not a success but I liked it, because I adore Olga Kurylenko and appreciated the violent action and unpredictable interaction between the hero and the woman he saved.
Warhammer 40,000: Regicide - PC Review
Chess is already a very strategic game, but when you mix new elements in, you have an opportunity to turn those tactics on their head and create something fresh with them. While there are some rough edges here and there, Warhammer 40,000: Regicide delivers a solid experience for chess and strategy game fans.
Memorable Music in Gaming #12
This week we have something of a rarity - each of our games comes from a different platform. They also tend to be of the retro variety (though not all). The styles are quite contrasting, from bright and playful to tense, suspenseful fare.
Win a copy of Shadowrun: Hong Kong for PC!
We have a good contest for all of you. In case you missed Robert's glowing review of Shadworun: Hong Kong yesterday, give it a quick read. You back now? Good - because we're giving away a couple of copies of the PC game, courtesy of our friends at Harebrained Schemes.
Amnesia: Memories - PC Review
Amnesia: Memories is a beautifully drawn visual novel that is a bit of a departure from Idea Factory's standard lineup of game types. Fortunately for those of us that enjoy a solid visual novel, they knock this one out of the part. Amnesia: Memories thrusts you into the role of a young woman who had been minding her own business as she wandered down a busy street where she was then struck by a Spirit which in turn causes the protagonist to suffer from amnesia. As Amnesia: Memories is a dating sim/romance visual novel there will be plenty of laughs and tears as you woo your way into a romantic relationship with one of five suitors in this spectacular game.
Gryphon Knight Epic - PC Review
Gryphon Knight Epic is a Horizontal 2D Shoot ‘Em Up that does a few things a bit differently than the norm. Drawing in certain elements of platformers, there’s much more to this Gryphon Riding Knight of Justice as he traverses the land to not only save it and his once companions, but also himself from a Darkness he left behind.
Whispering Willows - Xbox One Review
Whispering Willows is a different kind of horror game, because it is not trying to nail you with cheap jump scares, but in fact is trying to craft a haunting story - a supernatural tale of suspense. The visuals are charming, the story is well written and this is an adventure game worth playing for fans of the genre.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel announced for PS3 and Vita
I love seeing these consoles are still getting a solid stream of good RPG games. Here is what we know about the game so far.
