Road 96 Review

Road 96 can be described as a narrative-driven dystopian country road trip simulator where you play as a teen on the run… scratch that, as several teens on the run, one at a time. Ruled with an iron fist by the tyrant President Tyrak, the prospect of a turbulent presidential election and a nation that is divided beyond fixing pushes young kids to the border, and consequentially to inexplicable and frequent disappearances.Do not let this fool you; Road 96 is a blast of a game, where humor and satire travel hand in hand through hopeless desert roads and rest stops, meeting

The 7th Guest VR Review

As a child, I had a small obsession with The 7th Guest. I played through the game multiple times, working out what puzzles I could on my own and getting hints or using the official strategy guide to overcome any challenges that were just a bit too much for a nine-year-old to handle.

Originally published on 07 August 2016.Dark Souls is a very popular Game Franchise that originally debuted in March 2011 and has since grown exponentially in both Fan Base and in terms of mechanics and what visual candy can do for hauntingly dark atmospheres - but it wasn't the first game in this iteration; that honour goes to its semi-lesser-known brother Demon's Souls, which came out ONLY for the PS3 System in 2009 and was published by Atlus and not Bandai Namco, like the Dark Souls series is.The Series' growth since its original release in 2009 has been a pretty large one.  DEMON'S

Death Road to Canada - Legacy Review #2

Originally published on 07 August 2016.STEAMBOX Reviews is a kind of "Section" I'm gonna do for both New and Older Indie Games released across Steam, and today we'll be taking a look at a little gem called Death Road to Canada.This game's premise is pretty much a mixture of Oregon Trail and tidbits of other games that feature looting and simplistic top-down melee combat, with random, quirky humour and lots and lots of zombies. Your goal is to essentially make it to Canada, where - for some unexplained reason - there are no zombies, and survive the road along the way.Death
