State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition Review

Back from the Dead


Can too much ambition be a bad thing? This was a question I continually asked myself during my 20 hours in Trumbull Valley. Developer Undead Labs tries to cram a lot into this little package. Some of it sticks, while some of it falls flat.  At its best, State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition is a unique zombie survival game with dozens of hours of content.  At its worst, it’s a buggy, convoluted, and repetitive game that’s reminiscent of something out of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox generation.  Fortunately, once you learn to accept its problems, State of Decay is a vastly rewarding and incredibly addictive experience someone could easily sink hours into.

Broken Age Review

IF IT AIN’T BROKE…

Broken Age, the latest adventure game from Tim Schafer and the crew at Double Fine, is a beautiful, thoughtful game that challenges players with puzzles as well as themes of loneliness, societal pressure and sacrifice.  Chances are players have dealt with these themes in their lives at one point or another, and that’s why I’m confident that Broken Age will resonate with many, many people.

Very few people doubt that Bastion remains one of the pinnacle influencing games of the indie scene, however, how does Supergiant’s classic hold up today?

Mega Man X4 Review

Is This What We’re Fighting For?

When Mega Man X was first released on the Super Nintendo, it was seen as a blast of fresh air for a franchise that had become tired and stale. The X series is now seen with the same amount of nostalgia as the original series. However, the track record is a bit spottier than the classic series. Many remember the first game but memories become less and less clear as the series goes on. Mega Man X4 is an entry in the series many seem to remember fondly but rarely know in detail. Why is that? Is Mega Man X4 as good as many remember or is it just nostalgia? Continue reading Mega Man X4 Review

Tower of Guns Review

Guns. Lots and Lots of Guns.

How many people remember the Dr. Seuss book “Red Fish, Blue Fish, One Fish, Two Fish”? It was a book that focused on a bunch of different fish in the sea. The start of this review could start off the same way, but with guns. What different types of guns are in Tower of Guns? Big guns, small guns, guns that shoot bombs, guns that shoot blades, guns on the ceiling, guns on the floor, guns on the walls, guns that move, guns that spin…. There are tons of guns in Tower of Guns. However, does this game tower over the competition, or is it simply shooting air?
