Responses are then displayed on the TV and other people waiting to play locally (or viewers watching your Twitch stream) can answer on their own mobile devices. The player who gets the most votes is declared the winner of the round! Jackbox Games has

New Ultima Underworld Needs You To Be A Hero Now

Posted on February 4, 2015 by Les Major

One of the most fantastic RPG series ever, was Ultima Underworld. Now thanks to a Kickstarter campaign, the original team behind Underworld is hoping to bring back that legendary adventure. Back in the day there was nothing like the freedom that Underworld offered. It was one of the early games I can remember that allowed you to just go berserk on NPC’s. Mindless rebellion (surely brought on by Stygian Abyss madness I’m sure) aside, it was the untold treasures you could discover. The game design that made exploring new areas so engrossing. Being able to write on in game maps

A Couple Nights With Dying Light

Posted on January 28, 2015 by Les Major

Just released yesterday, the zombie infested city parkour adventure Dying Light is quite an unique title. The game vaguely feels like a free roam version of Mirror’s Edge with some Dead Rising mixed in. This creates some amazing experiences that can relate to the games quite unbelievable, however accurate, gameplay trailer. There’s nothing quite like running down an alleyway on your way to a mission, then stopping dead when you come to a street full of shambling zombies. What do you do? Take to the roof tops? Climb the nearest bus to avoid their attacks? Or just run head long

Posted on December 10, 2014 by Les Major

Creative writing inspirational title Elegy for a Dead World surprisingly appeared on Steam today weeks before it’s expected 1st quarter of 2015 release date. This is the official release though and no mistake!

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Les Major

After a delay in November (we’ll call it a race day rain delay for fun) Ubisoft is on the eve of releasing The Crew! From what we’ve seen of the beta, it promises to be a game changer. Sure, you have the regular races, intense moments, and acquiring upgrades. But The Crew is so much more! The real star of this game is the open world it takes place in. Not just a city, or a state. No, it’s a smaller version of the United States of America! It sounds pretty outlandish and impossible, but that really is what The
