Did you know Danganronpa’s Junko Enoshima was named the most popular video game character to cosplay as by Guinness World Records: Gamers Edition? It’s true, even if the publication’s description of the game as a “fi...

I used to read a lot of webcomics, and one of my favorites was MS Paint Adventures, particularly the Problem Sleuth series. The comic is drawn and animated by Andrew Hussie, and has explored several different themes and genres over the year...

Today, September 13, is the one-year anniversary of ReCore's release. In our review, I scored it a 4 out of 10, citing a ton of technical issues and a needlessly drawn-out end-game as factors that overshadowed how good the first two-thirds ...

Early in the life of the Nintendo 3DS, we saw a few original games from Nintendo 2nd party developers pop up in the eShop. Games like Sakura Samurai, Freakyforms: Your Creations, Alive!, Pushmo, and Dillon's Rolling Western. Of those, Pushm...

I'm glad point-and-click adventures still exist, and I'm glad Ron Gilbert is still making them, especially when they spoof X-Files and feature a chronically cursing clown. It seems like only yesterday Gilbert was giving us a vague clue abou...

I was scheduled to see Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, a game I knew nothing about (despite having written about its announcement two years ago -- my memory isn't what it used to be). When I finally put the controller down an hour later, ...

Have you ever been in love? If so, you would be hard pressed to have a love as true and as nauseating as that of Carl and June. You can tell how crazy they are about each other from a single glance and that's saying something considering th...

Chuck Tingle, the Hugo-nominated author of such contemporary classics as Bigfoot Sommelier Butt Tasting, Anally Yours, the Unicorn Sailor, and Pokebutt Go: Pounded by 'Em All is making a dating game. I know what you're thinking, "What?...

"What kind of game is it?" a friends asked after my appointment to see Reigns: Her Majesty. I had to stop and think for a few seconds to come up with an answer to that. It's not that it's difficult to grasp; the basic idea is simple and the...

As the start of the football season looms, the annual Madden arrives on store shelves. This year's edition is a bit different though. Of course most of what's here is the same Madden fans are used to with roster updates, and even ...

Yesterday, new and upcoming game publisher Annapurna Interactive announced on Twitter it would have a reveal for today. Never in my wildest imaginations did I think it would mean that we would finally be getting a conclusion to the four-yea...

Very few games make me smile while playing. I always find gaming pretty intense, even when having fun. But boy, do I grin like a dang fool when playing the Shantae series. I love the colours, the characters, the world, the adventures and th...

Creator of the acclaimed Life is Strange and not-so-acclaimed Remember Me, Dontnod Entertainment is teaming up with publisher Bandai Namco to create a brand new adventure game. Beyond two images and its genre, nothing is known about th...

The Wii U simply wasn't a priority for Telltale last generation. It likely had less to do about the processing power and more about the installbase, but either way, very few projects actually made it onto the platform. Yet, with the Switch ...

The fact that it took about half a year and three installments for Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series to really take its place in the larger canon of "video games that do more than exist" is a point against Telltale's episodi...

A new trailer for the Life is Strange: Before the Storm was unveiled at Gamescom, showing a lot of similar imagery from previously released trailers (so similar I had to quadruple check to make sure it was actually new). There is some...

There was a time when the Zero Escape series seemed all but dead. After a stellar but quiet debut on the Nintendo DS, the series saw real success on the 3DS and Vita with Virtue’s Last Reward. That game, like its predecessor, sold wel...

I do love a good surprise release. Mike Bithell of Thomas Was Alone and Volume fame has announced and launched his team's latest game, Subsurface Circular, a "graphical twist on the classic text-based adventure." It's pitched as a single-si...

You'd be forgiven if you thought ReCore was dead. For months now, it's existed akin to a heart rate monitor that blips the faintest beat just often enough to indicate there's still some life left. We'll find out in five days what that ...

Telltale Games currently has a job vacancy listed for a Nintendo Compliance Specialist, to work with the acclaimed adventure game developers on some upcoming projects.With Minecraft Story Mode: Season One recently announced for the Nintendo...

The crowd-funded spiritual successor to Myst, Obduction, will be heading to PS4 on August 29. The game will include PSVR support for people who actually own the device, though it might not be ready for launch. There isn't any mention of PS4...

A few months ago, a surprise landed in my mail called the PocketCHIP. It was a surprise because I had forgotten I had pre-ordered it, and it ended up getting lost in translation for the better part of four months. A handheld micro-computer ...

The Professor Layton franchise is probably my favorite thing to come out of the Nintendo DS era. A well-written, wonderfully animated adventure game with puzzles that truly tested my logic skills was just what I needed after years of more m...

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is a game that I've been highly interested in ever since it was first announced. It looked like something that was right up my alley, given its utterly adorable art style and the fact that it quite ...

Twin Peaks Twin Falls has itself a bit of a menacing problem. Portals to an alternative world known as the Darkside have been popping up around town. The normal police force isn’t equipped to handle this issue, leaving only Detec...
