Stand and speak up for yourself
I went home for Spring Break, as most students do. And to much of my surprise, or not, my ex high school had taken a turn for the worse. The principal had gone crazy with his power.

“Kid Icarus” is one of the most unlikely games to receive a sequel, especially 25 y [...]

‘I Am Alive’ excels in survival game ...
Post-apocalyptic survival has been a popular genre in movies for a long time, but until now, very few companies have tried to make the successful jump to videogames. The “Fallout” series and its inspirational predecessor “Wasteland” managed to capture the spirit of surviving after a catastrophic event, but both games involved surviving in a s [...]
