I'm back on the beat, fellow animal lovers. The Captain reinstated my badge, the division gave me the go-ahead to hit the streets once again, and I'm all nice and whiskeyed up. Just like a real noir police antihero. I present to you Chicken...

Get ready for some survival horror in today's contest for Skyhill for Nintendo Switch! I remember going into a hotel late at night, after a night of partying. It was so haunted. I asked the desk person if the joint was haunted. He did his b...

How many monster-rock-opera games have you played this year? I'm guessing zero. That's roughly how many I had played until I got my hands on Wailing Heights, the new musical adventure from Outsider Games. I can help you fix your proble...

Growing up, I didn't really play a whole lot of adventure or point and click games. For starters, I didn't have a PC and there wasn't a ton really available for consoles. And compared to stuff like Sonic the Hedgehog or NBA Jam, adventure g...

Can you feel it? The watchful eye of Big Brother sees all. It knows where you hid all of your minion memes, and saw you watching that Fortnite streamer when you thought no one would see you. It knows everything, and now you can too for the ...

I love how our modern gaming landscape has allowed forgotten genres to come back into style. It would have been a tall order to find a point and click adventure game 15 years ago, but now we’re swimming in classic LucasArts style titl...
