Indie Nation: A Fistful of Gun

A Fistful of Gun is a combination of a classic beat-'em-up like Turtles in Time and a shoot-'em-up like Jamestown. So naturally, I'm deeming it a sheat-'em-up. No, wait, that sounds terrible.

Review: Forge

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that every once in a while there is a game that comes out that makes a statement about MMORPGs. That the best part of those games is the player-versus-player segments. In 2007, there was the "...   more

Preview: Strike Suit Zero

When we last took a good look at Born Ready Games' space/mech combat title Strike Suit Zero, it was looking intriguing. A successful Kickstarter campaign later, the game is now in a closed beta and will be released towards the end of January.  How has it improved in these few months of development and how can the feedback of the beta make it even better?   more

E.X. Troopers will probably never come to the West

Capcom has done just about everything possible to waste any consumer goodwill they've built up over the years. Even recent attempts to reconcile with fans have been met with scorn by some. The other day, I surmised that even ...   more

Review: Teleglitch

When death comes in Teleglitch, I can feel a part of myself being replaced with a weighted ton of soulcrushing loss and hopelessness. So goes the roguelike, a genre that has increasingly proliferated among bedroom developer...   more
