I feel like I’ve been here before, but I’ve never actually been here. When something as influential as Mad Max takes decades off, its fans are going to fill in the gaps. There’s something about playing the real deal though, and Max has taken so many lessons from other great action games that he manages… Continue reading

Game Curious Turbo Curses ‘N Chaos – Thank You for Ghost Ham
I suppose I was asking for a challenge so I deserved the punch in the mouth that Curses ‘N Chaos dishes out right out of the gate. It’s pretty satisfying when you get back on your feet and punch back though. Just don’t rush me again, Grim Reaper, because after I figure this out I’m… Continue reading
Game Curious Turbo Fingered – Electric Index
I don’t think police lineups are long for this politically correct world. I feel like I need a shower after electrocuting multiple innocent people. I swear it wasn’t my fault, I had bad information, or misinterpreted bad information. Or something. I don’t know, it just went horribly wrong and I’m sorry. Fingered was released on Aug… Continue reading
Game Curious Volume – Talk Me Through This
I know what to expect from stealth games and I know what to expect from plots centered around AI, but I knew I had to give Volume the benefit of the doubt and it still surprised me. Tearing a genre down to its core and giving it a fresh well-written story isn’t as easy as… Continue reading
Game Curious Never Alone – My Bola and Me
It’s summertime and there’s no better vacation than taking a trip up north to Alaska to play in the snow. I had no idea that I’d meet a little white fox that would immediately save me from a polar bear, obviously known by all as the furry demons of the tundra. Together, we brave a… Continue reading
Game Curious Death Skid Marks – Freak Road
I never liked Driver’s Education. The classroom just made me nervous. Once I was out on the road and narrowly avoided my first wreck, that’s when things made sense. My advice is to skip Car Combat Education. Just get out there and become your own Death Skid Marks. I promise you make it farther the… Continue reading
Game Curious The Swindle – Rob Me, Amadeus
Imagine that you’ve spent your entire life training for something and then you learn that those skills could become absolutely useless? I’m not talking about Liberal Arts, but the well-respected act of English thievery. Ah, the grace of breaking-and-entering. The beauty of hacking a computer hooked directly into a bank account. The majesty of hitting a robot with a… Continue reading
Game Curious Grow Home – Wanna Get High, BUD?
There’s something wonderfully symbiotic about a robot trying to reach the sky by helping plants grow. It also makes it a lot safer for us humans who are scared of heights and can’t climb well. For me personally, the falls are just as entertaining as reaching new heights. My robot, B.U.D., may not agree. Grow… Continue reading
Game Curious This War of Mine – The Hunger Game
My war isn’t kind. As a matter of fact, it’s quite stressful and full of tough decisions. Like who gets to sleep in a bed or how many lockpicks I should make in a day because every damn door is locked. Did all of these interior doors get locked before the war began? Were the… Continue reading
Game Curious Dungeon Souls – On Your Marks
There sure are a lot of souls out there. Some dark, others titan, some that belong to a demon and now those that are… dungeon. I’m not sure why I want them for myself, but they do make me stronger. I need to get stronger to defeat all the minions inside the dungeon so I… Continue reading
Game Curious Environmental Station Alpha – Should I Be Here?
Why do all powerless space stations want to kill me? Just once I’d like to find a derelict space station that is preserving happiness for the next explorer that shows up. Maybe it’s that drive to find my happy place in the remote reaches of the universe that makes me want to risk my life on jumps… Continue reading
