Although, apparently the entirety of my intro to thepseudo-reviewwas simply “Agonysucks.” I stand by this wholeheartedly. At least I got this video out of it: Today, five months after its hellish release,Agonytries again....

Arcade racer Onrush seems like a total riot

Class-based team racing I’ve hadOnrushfiled away in my mind as a frenetic off-road arcade racer from Codemasters, and it is that, but there’s more going on than expected at first glance. The vehicles have classes, my friends. As shown in today’s video, everyone has their own abilities and characteristics. Some cars can blind opponents, while others leave behind a trail of fire. Certain vehicles are able to drop boost pick-ups for teammates, and some can disable drivers’ boost by ramming into them....

Bendy and the Ink Machine is more than just cheap scares

Bendy: The Dark Descent Horror games, for me, rarely stimulate any part of my being. Maybe I’m too used to the jump-scare tactics developers pull or perhaps my guard is raised too high, but it is rare for me to get shocked by a “scary” game.
