In today's contest, we're spreading rumors with The Bradwell Conspiracy! I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all. That said, I do love hearing them because it's fun getting inside the mind of someone who actually believes aliens killed JFK and...

As games have evolved, artists have used them to tell stories in ways we could have never imagined, 20, or even 10 years ago. One of those trailblazers, Sam Barlow, managed to reinvigorate the FMV genre with Her Story in 2015, which he...
