The Swapper - Xbox One Review
The Swapper is one of those titles that has bounced around from one system to another, bringing its unique blend of puzzle and suspense to platforms one swap at a time. Having had a chance to play the title previously, I was curious to see how it would hold up now that it lands on the Xbox One. In short? Beautifully.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - PS4 Review
The Witcher series first took the gaming world by surprise back in 2007. From a small, unheard of studio (CD Projekt Red) came this roleplaying game that was deep, interesting, and most importantly, treated its players like they were adults. With crafting, alchemy, magic, and a fantastic combat system, The Witcher came essentially out of nowhere and swept the PC gaming market by storm. Fast forward to 2011 and CD Projekt Red releases The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings. Where The Witcher laid the foundation of the crafting and alchemy aspects of the series, The Witcher 2 not only improved on every aspect of the first title but laid the groundwork for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. As the first two titles were beyond excellent, the highly anticipated third title had a lot to live up to. Given today's hype-driven gaming world, does The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt live up to expectations?
Transylvania: Curses & Traitors - Tabletop and Board Games Review
Transylvania: Curses & Traitors is a solid board game that offers a different kind of experience. The package itself really sells the theme, which is as the name alludes to, is horror-based in nature. Three to six players are needed, and this is one where I do feel like the more the merrier. While the game does feel very random in terms of advancement, with a good deal of luck over strategy, the game design and one very clever gameplay mechanic help to keep the experience fresh on future sessions.
Umbra - PC Preview
Umbra came to my attention a few weeks ago while having nothing really better to do on a friday night other than look up news (game related) that I may have missed over the course of the week. I know… I live a “very” exciting life. Thanks to Robert and SolarFall Games whom which I owe a big thanks to, I’ve had the chance to experience Umbra on its current technical level while it is still currently within the time limit of its Kickstarter.
Fortune's Tavern - The Fantasy Tavern Simulator - PC Review
June 03, 2015Elizabeth Flynn, Fortune's Tavern - The Fantasy Tavern Simulator, Michael Flynn, PC Review
I’ve seen and played a lot of Indie RPGs over the years with a lot of them coming from RPG Makers but never have I seen one simply this ambitious. Forget saying goodbye to your parents and your hometown. Forget the idea of scaling mountains and deserts on quests for glory and fame. Fortune’s Tavern instead places you, a member of a specific bloodline, as the owner of a Tavern and its surrounding lands which have but one function. Keep an ancient and sealed Evil where it is least it break out and once again wreak destruction upon the lands. If that wasn’t enough to have to worry about, the Tavern is in need of much repair and you’ve got drinks to serve if you are going to get enough money to patch this place up.

Galactic Civilizations III - PC Review
When we previewed Galactic Civilizations III back in September of 2014 we were very excited by what we saw. The return of one of, if not the best space-based strategy title was almost too good to be true. Six-plus months later and Stardock has officially released the civilization simulator in space, Galactic Civilizations III. Was the wait worth it? Read on for more info!
Endless Legend - Guardians - DLC PC Review
We at Chalgyr's Game Room have been pretty big fans of Endless Legend since we first previewed it back in September '14 and when it officially released we were quite happy with the end results. Since then Amplitude Studios has done a wonderful job patching the game, removing any balancing issues or the odd bug here and there, not to mention taking community feedback to heart. After six months or so, Amplitude has finally released the first DLC for Endless Legend, Guardians, which adds new units (the Guardians) as well as new features like Legendary Deeds, co-op / competitive quests, global events, and new buildings. Does the Guardians expansion add to this already bursting fantasy strategy title? Read on for our review!
