Some games aren’t worth the $60 release price. Or half as much, for that matter. How many times have you bought a game and told yourself that if it’s terrible, it was only five bucks?  This brings us to the “Bargain Bin” realm of gaming, a second glance at games far enough down that they don’t see [...]

The bane of any work looking to inspire fear is the expected. Once you know where a monster will jump out, what noises are the rumblings of some unknown terror waiting to eat your face and what are just a cat chasing his shadow, and where and how you need to defend yourself, terror no [...]

When Mother Nature wants to take its planet back, humans will have no choice but to surrender. That’s just what’s occurring in Naughty Dog’s next big franchise, The Last of Us. Many games explore the idea of a post-apocalypse setting, but most of them deal with human interaction rather than nature taking its course. With [...]

Dragon’s Phophet is the upcoming MMORPG from Runewaker Studios, and is looking to make an impact on the genre in a big, dragon-sized way. Players may have heard of Runewaker before, though, especially if they’ve followed the free-to-play market at all over the past several years, as the team is best known for their work [...]

After a lot of drama due to THQ’s turmoil, Metro: Last Light has finally been released. In a way, its timing is perfect since so many have been able to enjoy the original game due to its super-cheap Humble Bundle offering, allowing anticipation to build for many in a fairly organic way.

Ever since it was revealed at the VGAs in 2011, The Last of Us has been one of the PS3′s most-anticipated games, and definitely its biggest exclusive. A lot has changed since then though, with the PS4′s announcement making this game more of a God of War II-esque swan song for the system, much like [...]

Normally, when a new developer jumps on board of a well established series, it signifies the best moment to jump ship. People who were not involved in any way in the original product and have no connection or genuine interest to the progression of the story and series tend to not do a great job [...]

Coming out in the wake of the Game Boy Color and only two years before the Game Boy Advance, it’s no secret why the Neo Geo Pocket Color enjoyed limited success in America. While largely ignored on its original release, gamers have since picked up the handheld console and begun to experience the unique features [...]

As anyone who grew up in the ’90s can attest, Road Rash was awesome. You played as a guy on a motorcycle, racing other guys on motorcycles, and bashing their heads in with pipes. It was the perfect game from the perspective of a 10-year-old (and remains that way from the perspective of a 25-year-old). [...]

Astal has been one of my favorite Saturn games since I first bought it in 2000 or so. Gamestop was clearing out their Saturn games, so I was able to get it for $10. Given that it now goes for $20 disc-only or $30 complete (which actually isn’t too big an increase all things considered), [...]
