When The Gauntlet published Brindlewood Bay, author Jason Cordova realized that he had a framework that could be applied to other tabletop roleplaying game settings aside from mystery-solving grannies that run afoul of fiendish cults.

Knowing Behaviour Interactive’s success with Dead by Daylight, I was very surprised at the announcement of Meet Your Maker.

Until recently, Konami had left the Silent Hill franchise dormant, leaving a huge hole in the survival horror genre. Since then, many indie developers have taken up the mantle.

Even though I ended up really positive on Alien, I often find tabletop RPGs based on existing properties to be under satisfying. My preference is to play in new worlds, allowing works of art I like to influence me as I tell fresh stories rather than trying to rehash ones I’ve seen before. That being […]

Cyberpunk fiction tends to focus too much on flashy tech and not enough on the dystopia, but Cy_Borg, a new tabletop RPG by Christian Sahlen, has absolutely no problem dragging your shiny character straight through the mud.

Even for most seasoned video gamers, board games can still be a bit of a tough sell. It’s extremely common to see eyes glaze over while reading instructions for a new game, leading to confusion during play.

The zombie genre is one that’s had a long life in the video game space. Resident Evil, Telltale’s Walking Dead, Dying Light and Back 4 Blood are all in the same thematic subgenre but have almost nothing in common with each other. Night at the Gates of Hell, the latest game from the creators of […]

Games from New Blood Interactive tend to wear their influences on their sleeves. Their breakout hit Dusk is a backwater horror take on Quake and Doom.

Many developers try to make ‘cinematic’ games. Quantic Dream and Supermassive create interactive movies, featuring scenes punctuated by quick time events or story choices, while Kojima Productions inserts long, lavishly directed sequences, generally requiring no interaction from the player. Immortality, the latest game from Sam Barlow’s Half Mermaid, shows its love of cinema in a […]

The western and horror genres go together like peanut butter and chocolate. I’m not usually a western person, but throw in a supernatural twist and I’m all in. Monsters on the frontier? The dead coming back to life in an abandoned town? Sign me up. A fantastical element is oftentimes the best way to accentuate […]

The Thing, which celebrates its 40 year anniversary this week, was such an influential movie whose effect can be seen across all forms of media.

Despite the fact that we don’t have an official E3 this year, it’s been nice to have a steady stream of game reveals and trailers during the month of June.
