Shovel Knight Review

The shovel is a really dynamic hero’s weapon: it can dig up treasure, a well-timed scoop can deflect projectiles, and it helps bring courage in spades. Though really, a shovel-wielding knight doesn’t sounds like a too-reliable hero, but Shovel Knight…

Always Sometimes Monsters Review

Adventure games have come a long way since Myst and are enjoying a second wind in this new indie renaissance because of their generally low cost to make and lack of pressure to deliver a product of a certain genre…

The Wolf Among Us: In Sheep’s Clothing Review

There’s something missing in the 4th episode of Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us. The writing is consistently high quality, it runs as it always has, but it’s somewhat empty in comparison to every installment before it. In a vacuum, this…

Jazzpunk Review

I find myself trapped. Everything around me is made of pizza. I have a pizza cutter in my left hand, and a spatula in my right. The screen says, “Use Left/Right Trigger to Dual Wield!” I have only one choice:…

The Banner Saga Review

I had a single grey hair in my beard two weeks ago, and it served as an appropriate ornament for my girlfriend to prod at every time she saw me. I blame that on the inevitable approach of my late…
