Ravaged video review

Coming fresh off of a successful Kickstarter buffer, Ravaged is the brainchild of indie studio 2 Dawn Games, which is comprised of such industry veterans as Joe Halper. Hoping to distinguish itself from the games it drew heavy inspiration from, it's clear Ravaged contains some truly ambitious and competitive design. Blending the notable open-field combat of Battlefield with the post-apocalyptic environments and vehicles of Mad Max, the world of Ravaged will welcome you openly... with a respawn. Great as it sounds on paper, Ravaged is a ramshackle, stripped-down version of those games that helped inspire it.

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Polar Bear Crossing

If there's one thing that's scarier than any kind of orc, it'd have to be a bear. Fortunately, Orcs Must Die! 2 doesn't have any bears but thankfully the bear traps work pretty well on the mangy orcs. Sound strange? Welcome to the 10th challenge map!

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Into The Void

Fun as these challenges are, there hasn't been one that's provided a significant slap to the face... until now. Without a doubt, the Into The Void map is the toughest of the challenges and we'll show you how to survive the onslaught of orcs. Kinda.

Baldur's Gate II: Redux 10-minute video walkthrough with project lead, Lorne Ledger

The holiday gaming season is now in full-stride and excited as you should be for the likes of Dishonored, Assassin's Creed III, Halo 4, etc, it's fairly easy to skip over something like the Baldur's Gate II: Redux mod. What's this mod, you say? Why don't we let the project director, Lorne Ledger take you on a 10-minute video tour? We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Marching band performs the most epic video game halftime show you'll ever see

If the title didn't give it away already; video games, halftime show and you'll never do anything better than what you'll see here. I promise.

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Mine The Gap

The weekly challenge is back yet again, but this time we've got 100% more dwarves. Not doing anything for you? Alright, how about dwarves that throw bombs and smash orcs with a hammer when they're angry? Now we've got your attention.

FTL (Faster Than Light) video review

FTL is one of those games that's ostensibly simple, but given enough time ends up doing far more than you ever thought possible. Being part of the rogue-like genre, it's as unforgiving as it is exciting and that's a part of the reason why it's so damn addictive. If you're into random events, permanent decisions and strategic combat in space, there's little reason to avoid Subset's impressive showpiece.

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Ice Valley

There seems to be a great deal of valleys in this game and all of them are susceptible to the elements. Unlike the earlier Fire Valley challenge which had all manner of fire-based traps and minions, Ice Valley is sparse with equipment, but hey, they don't call it a weekly challenge for nothing... right?

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Hammer Time

Our sixth weekly challenge map takes us to a faraway land in which massive hammers, tar and healing bracelets are the only way to let loose. C'mon in and watch as the War Mage makes short work of those nasty, nasty Orcs - kobolds too!

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Traps are so Cool

Over the past two weeks we've been subjected to Sorceress filled challenges with little to no traps at our disposal. This week we go back to the War Mage and make up for the lack of traps with a map called, Traps are so Cool. You know they are.

This Mark of the Ninja trailer is full of ninjas and... Ninja Gaiden boxart?

To celebrate Mark of the Ninja's release, Klei Entertainment has produced a never before seen trailer that gives a little background to the premise of the game. Something about ninjas and a toxin in a plant that gives you superpowers. While that's totally rad, I'm having a hard time averting my eyes from that striking Ninja Gaiden photo. Yeah, you should definitely check this game out.

Watch indie developers smash a car while also promoting their game

It's not often you get to meet the crew of a full indie studio, but it's even rarer to actually witness said studio coming together to demolish a vehicle. Why? The better question is... why not?

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Dance For Me

This week's challenge once again come in the form of the Sorceress. With only a single specialized trap to get you through this mess, you wouldn't believe how it's done. Witness our attempt within!

The Indie Affliction: Expeditions: Conquistador MASSIVE hour long presentation

With an exorbitant amount of projects appearing on Kickstarter as of late, it can be a bit of a chore to sort through all the legitimate products and the husks of junk. Expeditions: Conquistador is a gem amongst the tons of games present and it revives old-school turn-based gameplay with a little historical spin on things. Never heard of it? Enter our hour long, comprehensive gameplay demonstration with the main gameplay designer from Logic Artists present!

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Trap-less Bra

Razing with RaiderZ: Episode 5

Razing with RaiderZ is back for the final episode in the series! Don't get emotional now because we've made this episode extra long with a comprehensive look at Hero's Lane and the Contaminated Garden - the game's first big instance. Masters of the Garden indeed.

Orcs Must Die! 2: Fire and Water showcase

If you thought Orcs Must Die! 2 was in need of some extra traps, enemies and levels then do we have a surprise for you! Fire and Water is the first mini-expansion for the game and it introduces some pretty heinous enemies along with some traps we can't stop using. To showcase the new content, we played through one of the game's longer levels so please enjoy.

Razing with RaiderZ: Episode 4

It's time for another episode of Razing with RaiderZ and this episode focuses on the lush environment of Rengot Village. Beautiful as it may look, the area is filled with the game's first real tough monsters. If you can make it to the end though, you're rewarded with a monstrous boss fight, something you've got to see to believe!

Orcs Must Die! 2: Weekly Challenge - Fire Valley

It's the second week for the Orcs Must Die! 2 weekly challenge and you know what that means... a healthy dosage of orc slaying, that's what! Having survived the first encounter rather gracefully, it appears this time around Robot Entertainment has set us up with a map doused in flames. Funny - that's exactly how I enjoy my orc.
