Sometimes games that are labeled terrible don’t start out that way, or at least we want to believe that they were created with the best of intentions. What is most interesting to me is how games based on movie or television licenses are often so terribly made when, at least to this writer, it seems […]

CULT CORNER: Unravel the mysterious giallo genre with Dario Argento’s ‘Deep Red’

Horror seemingly has something for everyone, provided you like scary movies! There is one genre, though, that many American horror going audiences aren’t familiar with, at least on a widespread […]

Sometimes there just isn’t any way to sugarcoat the truth or lessen the blow of playing some truly terrible games.
