Alan Wake 2 Review: A Must-Play Psychological Horror Experience

Easily, the best horror game in years.

In 2010 Remedy Entertainment released Alan Wake, a game where a writer is pulled into a horrifying world seemingly of his own creation. Alan Wake was a game that I bounced off at least two times. Despite the game being well received by critics and fans, I felt like its gameplay was just a repetitive slog that even its unique story could not overcome. When a sequel was announced by Remedy, I found myself extremely indifferent to the news. Still...

Review: Starfield

A safe, if not soulless, journey through the cosmos.

Bethesda Game Studios releases are safe. They are familiar. You know almost exactly what to expect when a major new release from them rolls around. They instill a feeling of "I know this game won't be groundbreaking, but I know I'll have fun." Yes, there are some obvious differences, but the heart of each Bethesda game is almost universally the same. The recent release of Starfield is no different. To put it bluntly: Starfield is Fall...

    What are the advantages of playing online casino games?


    Gaming is in a great place right now and an activity which has started to appeal to more and more people in recent years. Now the biggest niche in entertainment, its status as a cool, mainstream activity is seemingly confirmed. Video games naturally play a huge role in this and major franchises such as FIFA and Forza Horizon help to bring new people into gaming all the time.

    The modern game sector though is about far more than video games. A great example of this is how popular...
