The old saying goes that the only things that are inevitable in life are Death and Taxes. Felix the Reaper is a man in charge of making sure death occurs the way it should, and that the right people die. He’s peculiar, not only in his design as a big rotund robot man, but in…
In the PAX East demo of Bless Unleashed I played as the Mage, a femme fatale spellslinger with whom I used the combo system to launch spells of arcane power, fire, and ice. This is generic fantasy, but if there has ever been a game that has come even remotely close to what Kingdoms of…
Freedom Finger is a satire in every way, and I mean that 100% as a compliment. Wide Right Interactive has made one hell of a side scroller that will not soon be forgotten. This game is described as a “batshit crazy space shooter” and that it is. You play as an airman tasked with eliminating…
The afterlife is collapsing, crumbling all around you as you whisp your way through a level solving puzzles and platforming through complex, open end solutions. In doing this you carve a path of creativity. There is an adorable and powerful lost soul named Ki standing, or rather floating, as the savior of the end of…
We had a chance to peak behind the curtain and look at the upcoming game Rage 2 at Bethesda Game Days held in Boston. Bethesda Game Days is not technically part of PAX, but is being held directly next door to the convention. With less than two months until the game officially releases, it’s safe…

The game is set in The Big Apple in the year 2048. I was immediately drawn to its dystopian and cyberpunk…
Aggelos doesn’t feel like it was made in the last twenty years. And that’s not a bad thing. It’s a simple action platformer that has more in common with Mega Man than anything out today. The light feeling of the character sprite leaping from position to position across the screen is matched with the story…
When something is forgotten, and then lost, it is whisked away to The Forgotten Lands. Whether it’s a scarf or a sock, or anything in between, it all must go somewhere, for nothing can exist in nothing. This feeling is what is given as an item of clothing is sent away into a world of…
Oxenfree was a huge hit for Night School Studio, releasing on nearly every platform imaginable since the game’s initial release in early 2016. It’s now early 2019 and Night School Games is back with their highly anticipated follow up, Afterparty. So how does Afterparty live up to the big shoes that their last game left…
