Raising an animal requires a fair amount of patience. This couldn’t be any more true for Animates, a pet simulator that’ll tax your tolerance for boredom like no other game before it.

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence

With Resident Evil DS, Capcom has essentially taken the Playstation original and squeezed it onto a smaller screen. While some polish has been sacrificed–character models are a bit jaggy–it’s an impressive feat to see this running on the DS. A live-action introduction and a good amount of voice acting (both incredibly cheesy, but still…) are [...]

Scurge: Hive

It’s hard to make a moody sci-fi adventure game without someone drawing parallels between it and the Metroid franchise, especially when the main character is an armor-clad, female bounty hunter. Jenosa and her story may be a rip-off, but Orbital Media has done enough to set this one apart and actually make Jenosa the cooler [...]
