Shadowrun Dragonfall – Director’s Cut — a game made better by touch controls?

There’s something about touchscreen games that just doesn’t work well for me.  Whether it’s my hands being in the way of the action, or fighting with on-screen controls, I generally shy away from touchscreen games entirely.  However, when Shadowrun Returns came out, I picked it up for

Let’s get (meta)physical — The Talos Principle Review

Never has a game made me question my own existence. Now, it wasn’t anything so grandiose as me wondering if I’m even real (or, what if, like, we’re all just someone’s dream, man?). I know I’m real. I’m typing these words onto the page,

The Oculus Rift and Super Mario 64 reincarnate

I had only tried an Oculus Rift briefly, a couple of years ago, when it was still quite an early prototype and mostly a tech demo without any software of substance. Since then a lot has changed and VR is no longer simply a neat peripheral but considered by many

Tales from Deep Space is a charming platformer for any Fire owner

It’s a tale as old as time itself.  You are a pilot, docking at a space station, dropping in for some fuel. As you are heading to security, an alien named Junker absconds with your suitcase.  Now it’s up to you and your newfound sentient luggage case (that
