Review: Mortal Kombat X
In Injustice: Gods Among Us, the long, convoluted, super-serious campaign story was a welcome change to the fighting game campaigns of old.

Review: Stealth INC. 2: A Game Of Clones
Playing through Stealth INC 2: A Game Of Clones, I’m instantly reminded of a similar game, Oddworld Abe’s Odyssey.

Review: Technobabylon
It’s really the same in any medium—more money usually equates to less risk-taking. Technobabylon is a great example. … read more
