Professor Lupo and His Horrible Friends Review

Professor Lupo and His Horrible Pets by BeautiFun Games is a demanding puzzle adventure that challenges players to maneuver through a failing space station that houses some of the strangest and fiersted beasts in the known worlds.

SteamWorld Quest Review

Full Steam Ahead

The SteamWorld series has never been one for complacency.

While that type of game, with tank controls and static camera angles, are viewed today as relics of the past, Rainy Night CreationsVaccine may be a vital shot in the arm for this dormant genre.

Preorders have become a huge problem


The concept of the preorder is as simple as it is popular. Excited about an upcoming game or product? Put some money down and get it the same time it hits store shelves. It was a perfect way for consumers to both express excitement about a release and ensure their place as an early-adopter. There was always an inherent risk to preordering, but recent years have seen the practice becoming increasingly distorted and toxic. From limited supplies to vigilant scalpers, preordering has gone from an insurance policy to a necessity – forcing interested customers to act or be left behind.
