Bland Adventure

I wanted to enjoy Hard Reset. Being in the same vain as Serious Sam, it repeated arena combat scenarios for you to run through. The problem lies in the fact that this game doesn't nearly have enough c… Read more

New Studio Delivers Great Throwback

I can recall a time when first person shooters and PC gaming came hand in hand; where games relied on simple core gameplay mechanics. While it's obvious that the majority of today's shooters have come… Read more
