Old friends can disagree about the smallest things. In The Lich Wars, Aleks and his three lifelong companions have rather more serious memories to argue over.

We’ve all heard about people doing stupid things for love. Heck, we’ve done our fair share of stupid things ourselves, but Davy sure makes the rest of us look like geniuses.

No More Room in Hell 2 – Why Now Is a Great Time to Face the Apocalypse
No More Room in Hell 2 had anything but a smooth launch, and if you’ve followed it closely since its Early Access debut, we wouldn’t blame you for being a little hesitant. The game was plagued by technical problems and missing features that initially disappointed plenty of players. Had. Past tense. The devs refused to…

Legion Breaker Review – A Wizard’s Guide to Skeleton Disposal
Legion Breaker is a lovely little incremental game that knows how to make us feel ridiculously powerful.

Odd Town Review – Plenty of Trouble
We strongly believe that some towns are best avoided, and St. Sectaire might be one of them. Odd Town, developed by The Flying Baguette, takes us on a peculiar adventure full of suspicious residents and strange activities.

The Fame Game II: L.A. Heartbreaker – Love, Money, and a Very Expensive Lie
Like most people, we love watching movies. Playing games is a given at this point, so when we come across a title that combines the two, throws in a bunch of beautiful ladies, and promises an interactive adventure, well, we don’t need much convincing to give it a try. Unfortunately, most of these live-action adventures…
