They can entertain and tell amazing new stories that play with the boundaries of fantasy and reality in clever new ways. I’m not just talking about the big games either, those with their million-dollar advertising budgets and huge studio spaces. I’m

There’s a pretty high chance that the GameSir T4 Kaleid Wired Controller will be of no use to you. You see, even though this is a ‘multi-platform device’, it is fairly limited in those platforms.  Off the bat, the T4 Kaleid doesn’t work with Xbox consoles. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, even for

Make Way is going to be chaos We’ve only seen the announcement trailer and checked out some screens for Make Way, but we think this one is already on the right track to success.  A chaotic cross-platform multiplayer racer, Make Way looks to be a real hoot to play. But don’t think you’ll just be

However, these games present Tokyo as either having gang members or paranormal entities on every

EpiXR Games are best known for their games where you’re soaring. Aery, Paper Flight and Life of Fly all have you gliding through scenes where hitting the ground is a very, very bad thing. With Sugar Tanks, that gets thrown for a loop, as you are very much landborne. Sugar Tanks is a bit of

We were anything but brave in Brave Soldier – Invasion of Cyborgs. That’s not because its difficulty kicked our asses; if anything, it’s on the easy side. It’s because the ‘best’ way to play it also seemed to be the slowest. The enemies couldn’t shoot as far as we could, so we spent the majority
