They say that food is a universal love language, and that’s a statement taken in different directions in Dosa Divas, the latest game to come out of Outerloop Games of Thirsty Suitors fame. Much like Thirsty Suitors before it, Dosa…

Damn, poncle’s done it again. Vampire Crawlers is a wickedly-crafted, addicting, original game with enough potential depth to rival the Mariana Trench.

I’m not sure what rock I’ve been living under all this time, but clearly it’s been missing Bubsy, and in several dimensions. Bubsy 4D is the comeback game of a series that dates back to the early 90’s on the…

Animation is quite possibly the most laborious art form on the planet, and hand-drawn animation even more so. You have to have a real dedication to your craft in order to draw hundreds upon hundreds of images of the same character in the hopes that they’ll move. It’s the reason titles like Cuphead took so long to develop; it took over seven years to produce that game, and an enormous chunk of it was spent on the individual animation cells needed to make the magic happen.

Functional, comfortable, and strong. Those are three words I would use to describe the Atlas 200 headset. While the audio quality isn’t the most impressive, it’s a great all-around gaming utensil to provide you with more immersion into the battlefield or a cute JRPG cutscene set in a fantasy world.

The PAX Rising showcase at PAX East always has a handful of titles that draw me in. It’s thanks to this booth that I have seen all sorts of great ideas put into practice. One of those games that stood out for this very reason was Jigrift, a 3D Puzzle Platformer by the solo developer at Empty Castle Games where the world is comprised of jigsaw pieces! As someone who enjoys jigsaw puzzles, puzzle games, and 3D platformers, I knew I had to give this game a try.

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time with the Invincible VS open beta this last weekend. At the end of it all, it looks like it’s going to be a polarizing game for most and honestly, I’m thankful for that.

In every subjectively measurable way, this game is turbo-charged, immensely enjoyable, and such a profoundly well-executed experience that it’s already shortlisted for the top of my game of the year list.

Marathon is a game I did not expect to get its hooks into me. On the surface, Bungie’s new PvPvE extraction shooter looked like the kind of game I had already drifted away from. I know Bungie’s work well. I put more than 1,500 hours into Destiny 2 and hundreds more into the first Destiny, enough to understand the studio’s strengths almost instinctively. Bungie knows how to make shooting feel good, how to build mystery into a world, and how to take a familiar idea and push it just far enough in a strange direction to make it feel fresh.
