The Dungeoning Review
The Dungeoning is an action platformer with rpg-like character progression. It's a fairly simply game, yet difficult at the same time. The game is meant to be played in a single sitting, and death is permanent. Thankfully everything changes itself up every time you die, as the dungeons are randomly generated. The objective of the game is to reach the end of the dungeon and find the artifact located there.
Space Hulk Review
Space Hulk is a game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, based on a board game of the same name. If Full Control's aim was to re-create the board game in video game format, they definitely achieved it. It has the feel of a board game, with the look of a video game.
Skulls of the Shogun Review
Skulls of the Shogun is an strategy indie game developed by 17-BIT. Originally a Windows 8 and XBLA exclusive, the game is now being made available to PCs all of kinds through Steam. Along with this comes a greatly expanded version of the game, extending the campaign by 4 levels and adding 6 new multiplayer arenas. This quirky and comedic game about the afterlife of samurai is simple and complex at the same time.
Shadowrun Returns Review
Shadowrun Returns is a new game in a series of games that has had a great cult following for many years, a series with games that keep being held in high regard with the passage of time. It's one of the few series where more people continue to become enthralled by the games, even as newer games come out and generations pass by. With this new entry in the series, we see a modern game with the same greatness of the earlier Shadowrun games.
Storm Review
Storm is a game that will make you feel relaxed. The music really helps build the atmosphere and mood, and the artistic visuals make you feel at peace. The puzzles won't leave you frustrated for long, if you ever do get a little stumped. It's the kind of game to play when you want to relax for a bit, and it does a great job at doing that. Since Storm has short levels, it's easy to just play this game on-and-off.
Knights of Pen & Paper +1 Edition Review
Knights of Pen & Paper is an RPG that gives players an interesting view, where you play as the players of a dice-rolling pen and paper RPG! This fun little game by Paradox Interactive is available now on PC in addition to iOS and Android. If you like turn-based RPGs you'll want to check this out!
Prime World: Defenders Review
Prime World: Defenders is a new kind of tower-defense game, one that mixes in a little bit of trading cards to the gameplay. This game even has some RPG elements, making for a unique gameplay experience.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Review
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, what a name. It's slightly misleading though, since the game is entirely about one adventure. Never-the-less, it's got all the gun-slinging and sword-swinging action you would expect of something Van Helsing. This time, we're off to save Borgovia from some mad scientists! The big question is how much fun the journey is, and the answer is a lot of fun!
Dust: An Elysian Tail Coming to PC
If you haven't already heard, Dust: An Elysian Tail is coming to PC! After the great success it found on XBLA, Dust is coming to PC through Steam on the recently announced date of May 24, just a week from now. With the PC release comes updates and patches to the game, and a full-fledged set of graphic options. This beautifully animated game is definitely going to be on my mind as I wait in anticipation of the PC release.
Anomaly 2 Review
Anomaly 2 is the sequel to the innovative tower offense game Anomaly: Warzone Earth. In this new and improved Anomaly by 11 Bit Studios, everything has seen an upgrade in this new release, from graphics to gameplay. This is a great game that needs a little thinking and planning to get to your goals.
Sanctum 2 Review
Sanctum 2 is the sequel to indie tower defense game Sanctum, which mixed tower defense and FPS. All aspects have been improved, and the great feeling you get destroying the lumes (Sanctum's waves of enemies) is still there. If you like shooting stuff, and you enjoy tower defense games, then you'll definitely want to check Sanctum 2 out!
Gnomoria Preview
Gnomoria is a complex civilization building game, based around you ruling over a bunch of gnomes. If you've ever played Dwarf Fortress, think of something similar to that, but not as complex, and with a streamlined and easy-to-use GUI. It's got some interesting mechanics to it, and definitely a lot of fun.
Surgeon Simulator 2013 Review
Ever thought about being a surgeon? Well, here's your chance to give it a shot! Surgeon Simulator 2013, by Bossa Studios, sounds pretty intimidating, but is in fact a humorous game. Clumsily smash your patient's rib cage apart and messily cut out his heart with a pair of scissors wielded in your shaky hands.
Receiver Review
Receiver is the result of a 7-day FPS challenge done by Wolfire Games. All you have is your Colt 1191 A1 (and with the most recent updates as of this post, a S&W Model 10 revolver or a Glock 17) and an audio cassette player. A game that focuses on the gun, Receiver gives you full control over it, from the safety to the hammer to the trigger. As far as I know, it's the first game to give the player so much control over all faculties of the gun they wield.
Retro/Grade Review

Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine Review

Containment: The Zombie Puzzler Review
Containment: The Zombie Puzzler is a simple, little, casual indie game that reminds me a little bit of Bejeweled. Not nearly as polished, but has a few unique quirks to it. These cool little features just aren't enough to make this game worth your time.
