Road to Gehenna: Funny Meets Philosophy in This Talos Principle DLC

The Talos Principle is a philosophical puzzle game where you play as an android, though my description really doesn’t do it justice.  Considered one of the best obscure games of all time, you can read Cary’s review here.  I was fortunate enough to catch The Talos Principle on sale for roughly $5.99, and little did…

The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer

The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing!  Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…

Europa: Demo Review

Not to be mistaken for Youropa, the correctly spelled Europa follows an android named Zee on an adventure on one of Jupiter’s moons.  It seems mankind relocated here, but aside from some old ruins, no sign of them remains.  So what happened?  Perhaps the game will answer the questions posed by the demo…
