Fans of Capcom’s longstanding survival horror turned action horror turned action adventure franchise Resident Evil have been through a lot. It’s an audience that’s definitely grown over the years, but in doing so it’s also become fragmented. There are what I like to refer to as the “purists” who want the series to return to… Read More
In the irradiated wasteland that is the world of Metro: Last Light, your chances of getting your milk money stolen by a prostitute are about as good as your being eaten alive by one of the mutated beasts that wander about the surface as well as the labyrinthine tunnels below. Metro 2033 may very well… Read More

I really enjoyed the original Dead Island. It wasn’t without its flaws, but the four-player co-op, RPG elements, and buckets of gore and viscera that only the zombie genre can deliver more than made up for many of the small problems I had with it. For the bevy of zombie games we’ve seen over the… Read More

MercurySteam’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, released in 2010, played like no Castlevania game that came before it, yet it still felt like it took place in the same universe. The series’ flagship European castles, dark and moody forests, and supernatural creatures worked better than expected when mixed with God of War-esque combo-driven combat, larger-than-life set… Read More

Like many of you, I’ve been skeptical since the beginning. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct’s marketing campaign has been a rocky one, after being soured by a series of disappointing trailers — both fake and official — screenshots, and an obvious push by Activision to get the game out during the third season of the… Read More
Written by Brittany Vincent, @MolotovCupcake In many ways, Dead Space 3 was inferior to its predecessors, but it still valiantly forged ahead as one of what will ultimately be the year’s best third-person action games. While it eschewed classic survival horror convention for in-your-face (albeit usually generic) action, it did have its moments, namely, any… Read More

As one of gaming’s longest running franchises, Tomb Raider has fared better than most. Lara Croft has proven capable of weathering multiple console generations, reboots, and platforms while keeping what made the original game so appealing way back in 1996. After the success of the last “trilogy,” Crystal Dynamics went back to the drawing board…. Read More

Like Maniac Mansion, Ron Gilbert’s latest foray into adventure gaming starts with picking three characters out of a possible seven. The Cave gives off every appearance of being a throwback to the glory days of LucasArts, before the downfall of the point-and-click and the Star Wars prequels, and in many ways, it hits its mark….

Feel that? That’s the calm before the storm. Enjoy this, because by the time March comes along, hot new games will practically be coming out of the walls. Last week was all about Dead Space 3 (here’s what Brittany thought of it), and this week we have the similarly themed Aliens: Colonial Marines. Both are… Read More
Written by Brittany Vincent, @MolotovCupcake In space, no one can hear you scream. Luckily, they can’t hear you cursing out a puzzle while your human partner fends off waves of bloodthirsty monsters, either. Dead Space 3 ensures you’ll do one or both of these things — sometimes out of fear, and sometimes out of frustration…. Read More
American McGee has made a name for himself by crafting uniquely beautiful and often otherworldly video games that tend to straddle that fine line between dark fantasy and full on horror. Alice is a perfect example of this, as it’s an unusual game that’s fun and playful with a definite darkness lying underneath. McGee’s most… Read More
If you haven’t heard of Lolliphile than you obviously aren’t a lollipop connoisseur like myself. They don’t just make lollipops, they make art. Each one is distinct and unique, and if the two flavors I’ve tasted are any indication, they’re super flavorful. I didn’t know you could cram that much flavor into such a small… Read More
You’ve probably heard about it by now, possibly only in angry whispers from fellow gamers who had been scorned by its disastrous release. The War Z may very well have been the most controversial game of 2012, but it’s also a solid contender for worst game of the year, and that’s pretty damn impressive in… Read More
