Playing Knights of the Old Republic was one of those defining moments of my gaming history. It was my first true RPG. It was my first BioWare game. It was the first game that genuinely surprised me with the ending. Plus, being a tween girl I was giddy over a romance option (Oh, who am… Continue reading
I can’t exactly explain what prompted me to purchase Gorky 17 this past week. While a low price is always attractive, I didn’t really have room in my queue for a game that was first released back in 1999. It’d be one thing if I’d done it for nostalgia related reasons, but I’d never heard… Continue reading
There’s a legitimate argument to be made that rebooting a classic game franchise isn’t the valueless, naked cash grab we have with Hollywood (seriously, Sony Pictures? Spider-Man?). In addition to massive graphics improvement, controls have gotten better in both form factor and performance, sound is immeasurably improved, and you have the internet to explain to… Continue reading
Family trips when I was a kid meant loading up a backpack full of books, CDs, magazines, and those magnetic travel versions of board games. They came in all varieties from checkers to Sorry. You’d be bouncing around in the back seat, praying that the magnets held as you declared “king me!” With tablets, we… Continue reading
If you’ll recall, I stumbled across The Last Door in what can best be described as a “happy accident” while attempting to find a game for my weekly Cheap and Dirty Gamer series. I was immediately taken aback by the impact a seemingly simple point and click adventure game had on me, and as a… Continue reading
I don’t remember exactly when I purchased Gunpoint but for one reason or another it sat uninstalled in my Steam queue for at least a month. After growing tired of my recent Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim runs, I needed something different and by happenstance, stumbled across the game sitting there like a neglected child…. Continue reading
Spelunky is a game that is far outside my level of skill, so much so that I’m quite confident I will never see it through to its conclusion. For most games, that would be enough reason to set down your controller, take a deep breath and settle on something else from your library, something that… Continue reading

If he ever stops shooting his own troops, he may learn just how satisfying it can feel to crumble an actual castle. This video is intended for a mature audience as our commentary is not kid-friendly: For more Game Curious and… Continue reading
When I first saw Survivor Squad, I was pretty excited about what the team from FF56 were trying to do. I’ve played a number of zombie games in the last few years, but very few of them featured squad based combat. This excited me because having a team makes an apocalyptic world that much easier… Continue reading
It always looks fun to dodge a helicopter in bullet time, but making it feel fun is just one of the things that Bleed gets oh-so-right. Justin had no idea just how much action this game was packing and Bleed let him have it. This video is intended for a mature audience as our commentary… Continue reading
Justin and Coop, deathmatch aficionados, take to the Gun Monkeys arena to see just how competitive platforming primates can be when given crazy weapons, bombs, and the insatiable desire for more power. This video is intended for a mature audience as our commentary is not kid-friendly: For more Game Curious and video content from Horrible… Continue reading
While I’ve felt pretty good about being an early adopter of the Borderlands 2 season pass, I’ve not exactly been overwhelmed by extra content that’s been made available since the game’s release. I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth out of the package, the last 3 pieces of DLC played it a bit too safe for… Continue reading
