  • Game Curious Hyper Light Drifter – Any Direction Will Do

    Justin ignorantly jumps into another beautiful adventure, and this time the action keeps up with the art. Hyper Light Drifter has a lot going for it and it’s just getting started. Previous Hyper Light Drifter Experience Backed the Kickstarter Watched Kickstarter trailer and gif animation, artwork examples Played a couple of minutes of the beta…

  • Spoiler Night – Firewatch

    Spoilers everywhere. Firewatch brought us together to relaunch the website. It is long overdue for Justin, Ryan, Kyle, and Aaron to have an in depth conversation about the game and its impact on their lives or maybe they should just go for a real hike. Horrible Night on SoundCloud RSS Feed iTunes Feed TuneIn Feed…

  • Necro Game Curious Manhunt – Murders Under Control

    Justin revisits a violent PS2 favorite. Manhunt gets up close and personal with some nasty gang members and some nasty camera controls. Whatever the result it is probably Brian Cox’s fault. Previous Memories of Manhunt It’s really slow, but brutally fun. You can make noise with your microphone to attract the attention of enemies. Brian…

  • Game Curious Devil Daggers – Hell Surrounds You

    Justin tries to apply FPS skills from the 90’s to survive longer in Devil Daggers than the previous round. Death comes quickly and often, but beating friends is worth the pain. Previous Devil Daggers Experience Watched video trailers Heard one podcast conversation with initial impressions of the game I played a couple of rounds to…

  • Played The Division: Everyone Can’t Be the Good Guy

    Arguably the Dark Zone was the most exciting concept when I first heard about The Division. I give a lot of credit for that hype to Ubisoft for the first video they released showing how the DZ would work. If you can get past the stiff dialogue delivery and scripted moments, there is a really…

  • Played Clash Royale: Innocent Enough

    My moment to moment interest in mobile gaming changes based on what type of projects I have going on at home. In short, if I’m not able to sit on the couch for long stretches of time, I’m not going to play mobile games. However, all it takes is 1 or 2 good sessions to…

  • Played Firewatch: Relationships are Hard

    Firewatch is a good book. Justin brought that up and it resonated with me. I would go even as far to say it is a great book. Once I started I knew there was no stopping, I had to see this story to its conclusion. I had to know what would become of “Hank” and…

  • Proof We Were Wrong: The Division

    Tom Clancy’s The Division is the latest major MMO release, and not surprisingly server issues abound here on launch day. Nothing new and nothing to worry about here (yet). Prior to launch, however, we took a moment to jot down some predictions about The Division. Ryan and Justin stepped up to put their reputations on…

  • Super Mario Maker – Games of 2015

    There were a lot of reasons to doubt Nintendo in 2015. I’ve never been more worried about a major Mario release than I was for Super Mario Maker. Despite being indoctrinated since before Issue #1 of Nintendo Power, I still hadn’t learned to trust the plumber and I didn’t want Mario Maker to be half-assed.…

  • Grow Home – Games of 2015

    BUD is endearing from the second you hit the start button. The world of Grow Home is a strange but beautiful combination nature and technology. I got lost for a minute just looking around to try to figure out how everything went together. The moment I started climbing up the bean stalk though, all of…
