My second review for Games Abyss went live today. What’s cool about this one is that it was posted on the same day the game is being released, which makes me seem mad professional. Click here to read my take on the HD remake of cult classic Beyond Good & Evil, an overlooked gem from [...]

Horror-Themed Videogames Alan Wake- The Writer Alan Wake is without a doubt one of my Top 10 games of the year.

So I’m obviously a fan. Schafer is the master of adventure games. He knows that some of the most [...]
