The Intro: Simulators are notorious for having a punishing learning curve. They mostly appeal only to the hardcore fans of the genre they’re simulating. Project CARS is a simulator, and by its very nature, it won’t appeal to everyone. The casual gamer who doesn’t really care too much about the nitty-gritty of handling a car or how it is put together, or the physics of racing a monstrous vehicle at breakneck speeds…
The Intro: The first thing you might find yourself thinking when you start playing The Last Tinker: City of Colors is “I’ve seen that before.” This game is a collection of gameplay mechanics taken from various other platforming games, and unfortunately, none of those mechanics are executed particularly well here.

Now, if you had to guess, one of your other friends’ apartments would automatically…
The Intro: The original Deus Ex was a landmark achievement in gaming. The open-ended gameplay, the element of choice, and the fantastic story and dialogue melded to create a truly next-level experience. Since then, the franchise has fallen off the perch a bit. The newest game in the series, Deus Ex: The Fall is both a prequel and a sequel. Yes, that isn’t a typo. The Fall follows the events of Deus Ex: Icarus…
