Review: ‘David’ Game Comes to Steam and Evil Better Watch Out

'Code Name S.T.E.A.M.' Review

'Code Name S.T.E.A.M.'s' biggest strength, its 3D perspective, also leads to its biggest weakness, resulting in gameplay that feels less like a battle and more like an interactive loading screen.

PS3

The first episode of 'Resident Evil: Revelation 2' sets the scene for future episodes with familiar gameplay and local co-op, but is graphically unimpressive.

Lost Constellation Review
Review: 'Lost Constellation' Teases ‘Night in the Woods’ but Satisfies as a Standalone Experience

Lost Constellation, a supplemental game to the upcoming Night in the Woods, is a piece of beautifully written and designed point-and-click folklore that feels like a creepy bedtime story.

The Order 1886 Review
'The Order: 1886' Review

'The Order: 1886' is bursting with creativity when it comes to design, narrative, and setting, but its gameplay is far too linear and derivative to be worth a full price purchase.
