Hellboy Web of Wyrd Review – What Lurks in the Shadows

Shadows add depth by drawing attention to both what is and isn’t there. They emphasize the visible scraps of information while leaving hidden details up to your imagination. This technique breathes life into Mike Mignola’s art, and by extension, his creation Hellboy. Hellboy’s world leaves ample room

Mortal Kombat 1 Review — Asterisk-y Changes

The “1” in Mortal Kombat 1 implies a new beginning. It is technically correct to say that Mortal Kombat 1 reboots the world of Mortal Kombat, kickstarting a new era of the long-running series. However, an unusually large emphasis on the “re” looms over everything that Mortal Kombat 1 risks

Gravity Circuit Review — Tossing Caution to the Wind

I see platformers as games about caution. Looking before you leap proves vital not only to your success, but also in discovering what makes these games fun.

Loop8: Summer of Gods Review — The Life Aquarium

Loop8: Summer of Gods gives you a lot to think about. The game plops you into a town full of people and you primarily focus on building up your relationships with them. Layered on top of that premise lies a time management system, where every action you take moves time

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Review — Tipping the Scales

Arcade games sure are cheap! That’s their general reputation, anyway. I’m not talking about their price here, but rather their tendency to lie, cheat, steal, and beat you down for your quarters. That gets expensive. Like any lovable rogue, however, arcade games remain appealing despite their penchant for

Humanity Review — Best-laid Barks

I love it when a plan comes together – that’s never a guarantee. Plans fall apart for the pettiest of reasons, especially when you start throwing other humans into the mix. We all have our own theories on life and how things should be. With so much potential conflict waiting
