Embracer Group Shuts Down Pieces Interactive

Another AA developer joins the ever-growing pile of husks being left in the wake of major publishers. This time it’s Pieces Interactive, the studio behind the recent Alone in the Dark remake. The reasons for the studio’s shuttering aren’t clear yet, but speculation has it that it has do to with Alone in the Dark’s…

Summer Game Fest – Focusing on the Positive

The first time I attempted to write this piece, I wound up with what amounted to an ex-tended rant about how utterly pointless events like Summer Game Fest have become. I went on and on about AAA publishers showing the same old stuff and using the same old tricks to try and drive preorder sales…

Nomada Studios Announces NEVA

The studio behind GRIS is finally coming out with a new game! The trailer debuted during Devolver Digital’s showcase during Summer Game Fest, and I have to say that it’s looking like it’s going to be at least as emotionally hard-hitting as its predecessor.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is Back!

I’d say that Nintendo surprised just about everyone when it announced a remake for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door last year. I mean, the company had spent the better part of 15 years trying to pretend that it wasn’t fans’ most beloved entry in the series and insisted on taking said series further and further…

Silent Hill 2 Remake is Getting Some Backlash

A new trailer came out for Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 Remake, and it’s gotten a few people upset. It’s not so much that the gameplay looks bad or anything, it seems. But rather, it’s that a couple of the game’s major characters look more than a little…off in this upcoming version.

Crow Country Doesn’t Quite Make it Back to Old School Horror

After playing through Crow Country’s brief demo a couple of months ago, I was eagerly looking forward to playing the full version. Classically-styled survival-horror is some thing of a rarity these days, so I’ll pursue it anywhere I can find it. So far, Resident Evil 7, Tormented Souls and Signalis have all provided great experiences…

Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor – Martyr Adds Offline Mode

Fans of the Warhammer 40k-themed RPG: Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor – Martyr (man that’s a long name!) got a great piece of news from developer NeocoreGames recently. Not only will the game be getting a new class, the “Hierophant,” this October, but starting last week, the game is now playable offline!

The In-Between Times

With having spent most of y gaming time in Helldivers 2 lately, I’ve found myself in kind of an awkward position when it comes to what to play at the moment. See, there are not one, but two games coming out this week (will be out by the time this is published): Animal Well and…

I’m Glad to See Demos Making a Comeback

With games getting ever more expensive and often in new and “exciting” ways, having the chance to try before you buy is extremely valuable. I needn’t list off the merits to you, as there’s really only one that matters: getting to see if the game is actually for you or not. Some games sound great…

Helldivers 2 Delisted in a Bunch of Countries

If you’ve been following Helldivers 2 at all, then you’re probably already aware of the ongoing controversy surrounding the PSN linking requirement. I’m mostly tired of it myself, so I’m not really here to recap all of it. Rather, I just want to comment on this latest story and see what your thoughts on all…
