Hype can be a strange thing. On one hand, hype is exactly what every developer wants when they show off a brand new IP. People start talking about the game and become increasingly excited to play it and expect something that will blow them away.

In Sheep’s Clothing is very much a middling episode. Most of the episode is either referencing past events, mainly the shocking finale of the last episode and the repercussions of these actions, or setting up it’s conclusion in the next. This is where the episode fails to impact memorably outside of one or two moments […]
A world in turmoil, a woman with a lost voice, and the transistor. From the very beginning the threads of Supergiant Games’ second title lay far apart and create a place of terror and beauty. Things never fully swell together into the ultimate payoff you truly hope to see when the credits roll but there […]

You play as someone who has settled down with a wife and children and you must perform regular day to day tasks. Oh, and you’re an octopus. In a suit. And everyone treats you just like a regular guy. OK, so […]
The Trials series by RedLynx has made it’s mark on the Xbox 360 and PC having some of the most successful downloadable titles. While they start all easy, the real game for the hardcore fans begin at the hard and extreme difficulty courses. This is why the gaming community are fans of the franchise because […]
After just a two month wait since Episode 2 was released, Telltale have kept their promise of releasing the episodes quicker after the initial four month wait since the series started. With the events of the previous episode still fresh, the impact of this episode is greater than ever before. What initially started as a […]
Burial at Sea Episode 2 is a trip down memory lane. It plays out as a sort of greatest hits collection of the BioShock games, paying homage to previous events while also tying up loose ends.
