Indie Game of the Month: The Last Night

The Last Night is a very short game which is more like a showcase than something that you play. You arrive at a club to meet your contact who tells you of a target you need to assassinate openly in public, and that's it. Yes, it's simple, yet it manages to give us a captivating glimpse on the settings of the very typical cyberpunk future we always imagine to be.

Ridge Racer Unbounded - Destructively Fun Despite Occasionally Annoying Physics

Despite its occasional bad physics and annoying camera glitch, Ridge Racer Unbounded is surprisingly enjoyable that it's one of the few racing games that I actually finished. Let me begin by saying that I have never played any Ridge Racer game before. So, I won't make comparisons with the previous games but instead I'll just focus on this game alone.

Trials Fusion - Let Me Try One More Time

What happens when you put physics and trial-and-error together and make a game out of that combination? Trials Fusion, that's what, an excellent sports game with highly believable physics and responsive controls. RedLynx Studio fused together the elements of platforming, physics-based puzzles and motorcross into one neat and beautiful package that is Trials Fusion.

Unreal Engine 4: Free for Academic Use

As soon as I read the news that Unreal Engine is now free for academic use, I sat up and took notice. Any concerned gamer who pays a bit of attention to the industry would recognize Unreal Engine and know how widespread its use is. Now, it's free for academic purposes! So, as someone who is always intrigued about the potential of video games for the purpose of learning, this news perks me up. Other industries owe the electronic entertainment industry (which is widely known as the video game industry) so much, yet so many people fail to notice. Let's talk a little bit about Unreal Engine.

Bound by Flame - Great Potential, Ignore the Flaws

Lately, I like giving a chance to less-known titles by smaller developers. Bound by Flame is one of them. It certainly is not an AAA title but somehow still received bad reviews, which I think it does not deserve. Perhaps there are too many AAA titles recently, and so people got carried away and reviewed Bound by Flame in a similar way they review AAA games, but the truth is this RPG isn't trying to be one. Whoa, there's a lot of "AAA"s here.
