Is Trine 3 as Bad as They Say?

When I bought the Trine: Ultimate Collection, I was aware that the third game, The Artifacts of Power, was infamous for being the worst of the series.  The main thing I knew was that Frozenbyte had attempted to move away from 2D side-scrolling in favor of making the game 3D.  I tried the game anyway,…

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…

What Games Are You Getting This Summer?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself buying fewer and fewer games at launch. There’s a few reasons for this, price being the biggest but also things like poor launch performance and DLC.
