Running into a building with guns blazing and a mask on one second, and the next second I’m cowered around a corner hoping no one knows I’m in the room. My head is spinning. I thought I was the aggressor, so why do I feel like the victim all of a sudden? Hotline Miami 2:… Continue reading
I should apologize to Downwell, as I had the most convoluted excuse for not playing it when it came out. Long story short, its core mechanic was similar to a game my friends and I had started working on right before it came out. The joke’s on me though, not only did I waste time not… Continue reading

Ever the glutton for a challenge, I jumped into this month’s release of Titan Souls for… Continue reading

A cold chill is in the air. The smell of blood is everywhere, following the path of destruction I’ve carved to get to this point. My moves have all been calculated, yet I’m nervous.
