Nuclear Throne: Why You Should Play This Game


         I love Nuclear Throne. For the past month I have been playing, showing it off, and raving about it to all of my friends like a priest struck with divine fervor trying to evangelize everyone who will listen. I believe that Vlambeer has done an excellent job with the game and would like more people to check the game out. In that spirit, these are the three main reasons think Nuclear Throne is worth your time:

The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt Review


I never was a huge fan of the first two games of the Witcher series. I could only stomach the first game in a story-focused Let’s Play format, and had mixed feelings about The Witcher II: Assassins of Kings. CD Projekt Red, however, visibly improved in their quality of design and their skill as craftsmen of fantasy worlds between these two games, and with their latest work they show a promising continuation of this trend. The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt is a strong, strong contender for my game of the year, and among story-focused RPGs one of the best I have ever played.

Ori was developed by Moon Studios, an indie game developer, which piqued my interest even more.  I have had a great experience with many indie games, and have played a wide variety of them.  But after playing for about 20 hours over the past 2 days, and maxing all achievements, I can confidently say that this is a game that I would highly recommend playing.

What makes this game so amazing?
