ARTICLE: Why I Won't Review 'Grim Fandango' / Why GOG.com Is The Messiah

Remember when I said I was going to review Grim Fandango: Remastered this week, in a simultaneous attempt to keep up with current releases whilst ticking off another entry in my ‘games I should probably play before I die’ list? Yeah, things have changed…

REVIEW: 'Unturned'

 

Unturned is an early-access survival zombie game.

Need I go on? The phrase ‘early access survival zombie game’ is enough to make any lover of variety and innovation vomit pixel-art. Even trimmed to ‘survival zombie game,’ people are going to flip tables. 

RETROSPECTIVE: ‘Hotline Miami’

The general consensus behind when Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is coming out seems to be: “when it’s ready.” This is great for the developers as it allows them to fine-tune the game add more guns, but not so good for us reviewers who now have a gaping hole in their schedules. 

REVIEW: ‘Antichamber’

Antichamber is an independent first-person action-puzzle game. The words ‘first-person action-puzzle game’ alone cause me to make an involuntary high-pitched noise of excitement. Ever since the divine perfection that was Portal, I’ve had an itch for puzzle games that don’t just involve the puzzling of the environment but the puzzling of the players own perspective. 

RETROSPECTIVE: 'Floor 13 (and upcoming remake)'

 

Thought Papers Please was the first game where you play a small yet important part of a totalitarian regime, and the gameplay revolves entirely around paperwork? Prepare yourself for a history lesson.
