  Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

  It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.
  
  It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.
  
  Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

  Doom 2 RPG PC Port Released

  Fans have ported over this mobile game for all to enjoy.
  
  Doom RPG is a damn amazing mobile game that I spent far too much time playing during my college lectures. This turn-based take on the classic Doom formula came out way back in 2005. I wasn't the only one to enjoy that first game as it earned itself high praise from critics and fans and sold well enough to warrant a sequel, Doom 2 RPG.
  
  Doom 2 RPG took what made the first game so great and expanded upon the formula...
