Allison Road Frightens Up Some Cash With KickStarter

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

First person indie horror Allison Road made a rather impressive splash this summer when its developers released footage of the game’s prototype. Due to its similar first person style and the fact that it is set in a modern urban dwelling Allison Road was almost instantly compared to Hideo Kojima’s cancelled Silent Hills project and its now unavailable teaser P.T. Now the folks at Lilith LTD have taken Allison Road to KickStarter in an attempt to raise 250,000 British Pounds (Aprox 387, 000 USD) within the next thirty days to help fund their latest game.

Daily Espada is the newest indie from Pedro Gabriel, pits an ordinary man against Brazil’s most bizarre and exciting fictional game show.  Our hero will be given a sword and a gun and forced to fight against hordes of Brazil’s greatest mythological creatures in exchange for fabulous prizes.  The sword gives our hero the power to transform in a super-sentai kind of way, donning a black suit with red accents that give you additional more powerful combos and a super ability.

Posted on September 14, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

The core game play is chess like, but blended with previous entries in to the Warhammer strategy world it takes the brutal game play of Warhammer 40k Space Hulk and frame it on a chess board, mixing in a variety of fun non-chess mechanics, to get an satisfying Warhammer 40K experience. Blood flies as my knight takes a pawn with a brutal finishing move that reduced the pawn to gore splattered

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Version Played: Windows PC Metal Gear Solid V has been probably one of the games revealed in the past three years that I have been salivating over and words can hardly express how excited I was leading up to the games early September release.  Now that I’ve spent six hours with what could be Hideo Kojima’s last Metal Gear Solid title I’d like to share some impressions with all of our readers. A full review is probably quite some time away due to the sheer scope of The Phantom Pain but grab your iDroid and trustiest sidearm and let’s discuss

Batman: Arkham Knight | Review

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

The RockSteady developed Arkham games have been absolutely fantastic and have proved once and for all that superhero storylines aren’t just confined to the pages of comic books or recent film adaptations. Within the span of two games they proved that players could fill the shoes of The Dark Knight while doing the source material justice. Their game worlds have been full of memorable villains and challenging missions while providing a main narrative that always seems to raise the stakes.  As the Caped Crusader swoops down on current generation consoles we set out to ask does his latest game complete the
