San Franciscan indie studio ‘Campo Santo’ recently had the first big coming out for their first game Firewatch at Pax Prime over in Seattle. It is a rather lovely looking atmospheric first-person explore ’em up set in the wilderness of Wyoming. Details are few and far between on the game right now aside from it’s suitably enigmatic reveal trailer. I […]

Here are the five indie games I saw at PAX 2014 that have me excited. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes You know […]
Bethesda released a new video showing off the upcoming The Evil Within’s voice cast. Like previous games that have released similar videos the whole thing rubs me the wrong way.

Digital gaming is the future. I am a big fan of digital. I love it. On the PC its not a future as much as the current reality. Steam, GoG, Origin and more sites and services offer PC gamers tons of games for varying prices. All of them available digitally. Buy the game you want and […]
Playing Wolfenstein: The New Order recently I was pleased to discover how focused that game felt. There is no multiplayer. No long list of side missions or side quests to collect. No co-op mode or some “second screen experience” where someone on a tablet taps a map and sort of affects your game. Instead the […]
