Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals
Have you heard of Enki Bilal or his graphic novels? Neither have I, but now having played through Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals, I'm much more interested in the Nikopol trilogy he penned in the late 80s and early 90s.

An ambitious title, Mount & Blade offers players a chance to visit the land of Calradia circa...[Read More]

In 2003, Ang Lee directed Hulk, a film about the big green machine in the Marvel universe. The film received mixed reviews, and is often considered one of the weaker comic to movie adaptations. Earlier this summer, the Hulk returned in The Incredible Hulk, seen by many as being a superior Hulk film. While most fans are eagerly anticipating that Blu-ray release, Universal has put together a very so...[Read More]
Penumbra: Requiem
In February, Frictional Games released a chilling first person adventure called Penumbra: Black Plague. Now, Frictional Games brings us the final chapter in the Penumbra adventure in the form of Penumbra: Requiem. While much shorter and different in a few key ways to Black Plague, Requiem is still well worth your consideration.
