Max Gentlemen is a self-described "arcade style manners simulator" and comes from the developers of Organ Trail, The Men Who Wear Many Hats. Max Gentlemen takes its inspiration from email male enhancement spam and requires players to collect hats and make the biggest hat stack possible. This is done in one of two modes: drinky and dodgy. In Drinky, players acquire more hats by collecting drinks from the bartender…

RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile is the latest entry in the beloved franchise from publisher Atari . This time its developer On5 at the helm and what they've created is a Frankenstein's monster made up of small pieces from the original games bound together with free-to-play and mobile game garbage. The result is a barely-recognizable abomination whose sole purpose is to trap unknowing players in a money vortex. On5 and…
Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a 2D adventure game from Ubisoft Montpellier. It is one of the few games set in World War I and one of the few war games to focus on puzzle solving rather than combat. The game follows three characters as he war takes them in different directions and occasionally brings them together. Their stories have their ups and downs but, aside from the ending, they aren't gripping. It's not…
The Wolf Among Us comes from Telltale Games and continues their evolution of the adventure game genre. This time, they've set their sights on Bill Willingham's Fables comic book universe. The game takes place in the fictional borough of New York city called Fabletown where Bigby Wolf seeks to solve a murder. As is the case with other games in the genre twists, turns, and revelations ensue along with plenty of dialog…
Don't Starve is a rogue-like from Klei Entertainment. The game drops you into a randomly generated world with no instructions or directions and tasks you with surviving. The core of the game focuses on the player juggling their health, sanity, and hunger. This is done by collecting resources, crafting, and exploring. But don't be fooled, the world of Don't Starve is a harsh one so prepare to die and die a lot. For…
FTL is a sci-fi themed Rogue-like which tasks the player with traversing randomized sectors of space in mission to defeat an enemy flagship. In the grand tradition of rogue-likes, this game can be punishing, with players often ending a run with nothing to show for it. While the main objective in the game is to beat the boss, a lot of the fun comes from unlocking new ships and layouts. The Advanced Edition makes this…
The Stanley Parable from Galactic Cafe is a unique, narrative-driven first person...experience. The player's interaction with the product is fairly limited, often just pushing the character in a chosen direction, but the drive comes from the context given from the narrator. For more check out my Video Review.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons from Starbreeze Studios is a third-person puzzle/adventure game with a unique control scheme (you really need a controller for this experience) and a powerful narrative. It is also one of the best looking games built on the Unreal 3 engine. For more check out my Video Review.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag from Ubisoft improves upon many of the mechanics of 3 while not addressing much of the series' overall narrative. While the gameplay is some of the best in the series, the story just seems to tread water. For more, check out my Video Review .
Check out my Video Review for Broken Age, an adventure game from Double Fine Productions in the classic style. Broken Age marks Tim Schafer's triumphant return to the genre and first full release since Brutal Legend.
