60 / 100 - POSTAL Redux
Jun 14, 2016

They also replaced the original final level, The Elementary School, and in my opinion, that was absolutely the right call since school shootings aren’t funny or worth emulating.

Some might appreciate this stripped down approach, but I like a little more visual variation in my games.

75 / 100 - Soft Body
Jun 10, 2016

Despite how peculiar it all may seem, all of the elements of Soft Body come together and make perfect sense while you are playing it. I would recommend Soft Body to players looking for a light challenge and something to take their mind off of other things; you do not need to look any further than this odd and special game.

The entire upgrade system is downright painful. The majority of unlocks are simple moves that should have been available from the beginning such as running up a wall, turning around and jumping, or a simple leg tuck to clear a railing.

It’s actually quite ingenious how much mileage the developers get out of one gameplay element.

80 / 100 - Downwell
Jun 4, 2016

There is no better feeling than leaping off a platform and, for what seems like several seconds, not getting stopped by the level's geometry and managing to dodge the oncoming wave of bats, ghosts, and wall crawlers.

The sandy Moroccan environment isn’t as inspiring as Sapienza in the last episode, and I felt IO Interactive could have done more with the Mediterranean backdrop other than to include a busy bazaar and private shisha club.

60 / 100 - Goliath
Jun 3, 2016

The gameplay isn't bad, but it's not great either and there are certain glaring problems with some parts of its execution.

70 / 100 - Hard Reset Redux
Jun 3, 2016

If you’re looking for some weekend entertainment and enjoy run and gun, first person shooter style games in a futuristic setting – at $15, you really can’t go wrong.

81 / 100 - Neon Chrome
Jun 2, 2016

Currently there’s a pretty glaring bug where your cursor isn’t centered on your character, resulting in your laser marker not correctly showing your line of fire.

… a quirky point n’ click title with a perfect blend of smart, mature, and pop humour that tells a refreshingly new story without pushing itself into the realm of slapstick exaggeration for the sake of a gag.

It's a serious game of the year contender, and undisputed grand slam champion of HD remakes. - See more at: http://cogconnected.com/review/odin-sphere-leifthrasir-review/#sthash.jyelFECV.dpuf

Dead Island Definitive Collection is the best way to get these two flawed experiences, ones that are enjoyable despite some poor design choices.

79 / 100 - Lumo

Lumo is the Finnish word for ‘enchantment’ and that is exactly what the game is – enchanting.

The AI doesn’t do a poor job of controlling the other teammates, it just feels more natural to have real players as part of your team.

As far as the sound is concerned, the game is spot on. Those chiptunes are catchy and work perfectly with the game.

98 / 100 - Overwatch
May 27, 2016

We've had arena shooters with this formula for ages, so why is Overwatch deserving of so much praise? Because Blizzard decided that every last detail in this game is deliberate and calculated for the best possible experience.
