If there's a genre of games that doesn't require much thinking, it's brawlers. Those games typically ask that you punch and shoot everything on the screen, and then move forward to do it again. Subtlety and nuance and strategy are not its ...

2016 has been kind of a shitty year. Between all of the celebrity deaths, the Presidential campaign, constant shootings and Gods of Egypt, it's been difficult to find a silver lining. They say it's always the darkest right before dawn, and ...
