Video Games

Somehow, May has ended and June is...

Food and cooking are staples of many video games, even when they aren't really about food and cooking.

This week the Epic Games Store is giving away two games for free again: Limbo, an older title which is still considered one of the pinnacles of its genre, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, a Borderlands universe offering which has recently seen some controversy.

It's a holiday weekend here in the United States, but the video game train doesn't stop.

There is a brand new release in the Epic Games Store free games of the week, in addition to a legendarily good fighting game, and a game that hits all kinds of nostalgia buttons.

We've hit the middle of May! The birds are singing, the thunderstorms are thundering, and games are... oddly not really releasing. Some are, which we will talk about this week -- but it looks like a lot of titles avoided releasing this week for fear of being crushed by DOOM: The Dark Ages. Which, of course, we'll be talking about this week!

This week the Epic Games Store is giving us a bit of whiplash in the thematic juxtaposition between the two games they're offering for free this week: the gleeful gorefest of Dead Island 2, and the devolving dreamscape (perhaps nightmare) that is Happy Game.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to be able to attend PAX East for the first time and experience the gigantic celebration of gaming culture first-hand.

This week, we're going to take an adventure with a fox and a raven (Spirit of the North 2), get revenge against a savage planet (Revenge of the Savage Planet), and to study some magic and relax (Ithya: Magic Studies). We'll also touch on a favorite of mine that's on sale, being we're a little light on new, well rated, interesting titles this week (Dark Souls 3).

This week the Epic Games Store is giving away two titles: Deadtime Defenders, which is being newly released to the Epic platform, and Touch Type Tale, a very unique take on classic RTS games.
