The Dead Space Remake Will Get Scarier If You Get Too Comfortable

The Entropy Centre Review

If you could turn back time, would you find a way? When you first start up The Entropy Centre, you may be shocked to know that this isn’t a prequel or sequel to the excellent Portal series. Taking cues from the general visual and audio stylings of that title, you’ll come to find that this title does make its way out of the shadows of its inspiration.

The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot Trailer Impressions

Hell of a title, right? But don’t let the title fool you. From the trailer, The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot seems to be less Zombeavers and more Unforgiven. The trailer begins with a voiceover of a man talking about tales told by his grandfather about a legendary soldier. It seems the tales got wilder as he got older. Next, we see Sam Elliott (Roadhouse) take on a gang of muggers in very Taken fashion....

The Reason Why Xbox One Games Take Longer To Install

Microsoft has given some small insight as to why games take longer to install compared to the PS4 system. As a owner of both consoles, I do notice that games install much faster on the PS4 than they do on the Xbox One.

Super Time Force Xbox One Review

Super Time Force is a game crafted around an idea hatched during a Game Jam. That idea is to give players 30 lives to make their way through side-scrolling bullet hell levels in a limited time. Simple enough. We’ve seen plenty of games like this over the years, but Super Time Force is a little different. Actually, it’s a lot different. It’s got all the running, gunning, and shooting that we’ve found in previous games of this type (see Contra), but the twist is that you can manipulate time....
