Plunder Panic preview — Will gladly hit the panic button

As I play Plunder Panic (say that three times fast), I’m reminded of the days I used to sit in my garage playing on my Commodore 64. There’s a simplicity about the way this Early Access 2D brawler looks, sounds, and plays, but it doesn’t feel outdated.

Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of Raakshasa review — Hindsight would help this game

There’s a difference between choices that change an outcome and choices we care about. The choices we care about are the ones that matter. Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of Raakshasa completely misses that distinction. It’s an action-adventure, choice-driven driven RPG that constantly presents high-stakes situations to make you

Bloody chaotic — Back 4 Blood Swarm multiplayer preview

I hate referring to development as magic. It’s not. There’s smart people crunching numbers, testing for bugs, creating art, and so many other things. But what Turtle Rock Studios is creating with Back 4 Blood – a game that’s not set to launch until October – feels like magic.

Not Camera Shy – TOEM Interview

A Bug’s Life – Watch Dogs: Legion online impressions

After 40 hours, maxing out the available ranks, and spending over €100,000 of in-game currency buying clothes, I can confidently say Watch Dogs: Legion online lacks any reason to return, despite enjoying maxing out nearly everything. The online mode, released on consoles first and PC second (I played on
