If you were tuned in to the cultural zeitgeist in the early 2010s and beyond, you’ll know that the ‘battle royale to the death’ concept has pretty much been covered to death. This has been done to varying degrees of success, with the best example being the critically acclaimed Hunger Games series, and the more […]

While gaming is a much more accepted pastime in this technologically dominated age we live in, that was not always the case, and gaming along with various other forms of media was often vilified by suburban mothers, good Christian families, and opinionated old-timers alike. You need only look back through the annals of recent history

As a self-professed connoisseur of indie video games, let me tell you, it’s a very saturated market out there.
