While watching one of the Indiana Jones films, have you ever stopped to think how unlikely it is that Indy succeeds all the time? What are the chances he knows exactly which items to use in remote locations around the world at the exact rig...

World of Warcraft might not have the same cultural cache it once had in an era filled with multi-million player free-to-play MMOs, but at this point it's most definitely an institution. The fact is, Blizzard has maintained the project for n...

Slender Man hasn't been relevant in internet culture for years. Remember how back in 2012 Slender Man was all of the rage? Youtubers were going nuts over Slender: The Eight Pages, there were a bunch of fan games, and then the whole thi...

We've reached the beginning of the end for Telltale's critically and commercially successful adventure series, based on Robert Kirkman's classic comic book and the award-winning television show: The Walking Dead. Ever since Telltale's video...

We’re giving away a digital copy of the game. On top of that, this is the Gold Edition, which includes all sorts of perks, including the Season Pass...

The first-person dungeon crawler transformed for me once I was introduced to Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey on the Nintendo DS. Before SMT, my experience was with ruthlessly difficult titles such as Might and Magic and Wizardry, which ...

Flipping Death is the follow-up to the hilarious Stick it to The Man. While not a direct sequel, it takes place in the same universe and features a few familiar faces. You don’t need to have played the first game to understand what&rs...

I can hardly call England a "dystopia," but it sure feels different to the country I've spent my whole life in. Don't get me wrong, most politicians have been charlatans and people have always been ignorant. But, in the last few years, a se...

Certain genres are perfect for mindless time-killing as you cleanse your pallet between deeper games. They don't have to be perfect -- they just have to be functional, and moreover, fun. You have expectations going in, adjust accordingly, a...

I've been playing Dead Cells in early access for over a year now, but I never want to get too far if you know what I mean. I have a weird relationship with early access games in that unless I'm covering them professionally, I pref...

In the early years of the app store, back before freemium titles starting raking in millions through microtransactions, EA released a decent if feature-poor version of Sim City 3000 simply titled Sim City for iPhone. If you go in ...

"Make like a potato, and mash!" Even with Wario's creepy vocals gracing our ears WarioWare Gold has still got it. Somewhat.

With technology and entertainment where it is today, it's easy to forget how much time we spent as children playing mostly with our imaginations. Before ubiquitous screens, we fought evils we conjured in our minds with magic spells only we ...

Before this review gets serious, can we take a moment to appreciate the presence of the Inside Man thematic overture? So appropriate given the plot device and that Spike Lee directed the awesome 2006 heist film starring Den...

What makes a good bad movie? It's a question I've been pondering over the years as I sit through more and more bad bad movies trying to be good bad movies. Take Skyscraper as a recent example. It's a bad movie, but it's not a good bad ...

I'm so glad Overcooked found a sustainable, adoring audience in the almost two years since I first tried it on a whim. This simple yet hectic cooking game is one of the best co-op titles around. The basic concept is easy -- you assemble foo...

[Fantasia 2018 has officially come to a close! Be sure to hit up Flixist for our coverage of the weird and wonderful films of the festival.] A mythic force is spiriting people away in a rundown Mexican town, leaving droves of abandoned...

It feels like we've been waiting forever for Chasm, and that's because we have. Riding the second post-Banner Saga wave of Kickstarter, the project launched in mid-2013 and was fully funded in less than a month. Since then studio Bit Kid ha...

The Banner Saga began as an inkling of a Kickstarter in 2014 from Stoic, a studio with just a few people under its banner at the time. Slowly gaining a strong fanbase over the years, The Banner Saga has now evolved into a three-part story o...

No Man's Sky. Chances are just reading that brings up some sort of emotion within you. For what it's worth, I completely agreed with Chris' original review of the game. It was a good game that became all too transparent with its systems. I ...

2018 for the Nintendo Switch will be remembered as the year of the ports. Dragon Quest Builders, Bayonetta 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad, Super Meat Boy and so many more have made the jump from whereever...

[Editor's note: This is coming in a little later than expected, but with EVO this weekend we figured it was the perfect time to really dive into this and share our thoughts, especially after so many "where's my spy camera" questions about t...

Winnie-the-Pooh is a character that I was afraid to admit I liked. I'm not ashamed to say that I love to watch Disney movies, but Winnie-the-Pooh always had an air with it that it was for babies. It seemed too childish for me for a long tim...

Well hot damn! I think I sort of enjoyed the third episode of The Council.

[Given that Yakuza 0 is out for PC today, we're bumping the review up.] Japan in the '80s was a wonderful time for business owners. The yen was exploding in value and money was flowing like water. If you were involved in any kind of bu...

Adventure Time is a pretty great cartoon. So, it's a damn shame that none of its many game adaptations have come close to doing its beautiful world and cleverly written characters justice. Pirates of the Enchiridion comes close but falls sh...
