I can’t think of anything more awkward than being a reviewer unsure about a game.  What use do you serve by preaching on a metaphorical fence?  Nothing, you might as well be a crazed lunatic screaming into the void about how the video game industry is marching to its own demise.  What title has sent… Continue reading Scorn Review – Torn

Isn’t the holiday season just the worst?  All smiles and cheer.  People ask if you will put this obscure indie game on your Game of the Year list.  LISTEN BILLY, I am trying to pour through my back catalog.  Please don’t add another game to my pile of shame.  You know, this year overall was… Continue reading The Quarry – Bad Dog, No Holiday Cheer for You
