At one time, point and click adventure games were all the crazy. However, somewhere along the way they just seemed to take a backseat to more action heavy titles before fading out of the limelight all together. That is until a resurgence, frontlined by Telltales catalogue of almost 30 titles, came rushing back to claim…
One of my favourite types of games to play is a puzzle platformer. It’s awesome to be able to play a game at your own pace and challenge your brain a bit with some problem solving every once in a while. Lately I have found a lot of these games are just ripping off Limbo’s…

As a result we have seen a vast increase in the quality of…
In June of 2014, Ubisoft Montpellier brought us a game inspired by the personal letters of a number of people involved in the Great War.
