When the going gets tough, it’s time to get serious, or in the case of Serious Sam 4, it’s time to get silly. A nice little tongue-in-cheek title is a great way to set the tone for Croteam’s revival of an older franchise. This FPS is from the same vein

The ocean is vast, scary, and full of mystery and wonder. I have been obsessed with animals since a small one and the thought of creatures living in one of my biggest fears; deep water always fascinated me. ‘Beyond Blue’ developed by E-Line Media is a stunning, single-player, narrative journey
Horror stories date back to the 1700s, and with the power of modern technology, gaming developers are able to take inspiration and visualize their own stories to scare the bejeezus out of the player. ‘Horror Story: Hallowseed’ is just that, created by one person, Jeff Winner, and he may have

Party games are a great time for everyone involved, directly challenging your friends for those oh-so glorious bragging rights, much like Mario party, Among Us, any board game, and all other party games, they are a lot more exciting when playing with friends and people you are comfortable with showing
In the early 2000’s my PC was under heavy strain from two particular games, ‘Diablo 2’ and ‘Total Annihilation’. I like to imagine that one night, 20 years ago, those two snuck away and made a baby that has grown up to become “The Riftbreaker” and is finally ready to
