Indie Game Review: Reprisal

Sifting through the myriad of indie and other free-type games out there can be time consuming. Coming across one that is a truly a gem should be celebrated. Reprisal is one of these.  Indie.  Remake.  Demake.  Free.  Who cares.  It's fun.

Retro DOS Review: Great Games to Kill Time

Mobile games have become a huge part of the game market nowadays. While there are some that I feel are great games, many I've found are hopelessly shallow, masked by kitschy cartoon graphics and never-ending goals. Here's a couple titles that I sunk hundreds of hours into as a kid that I feel are still better time wasters than some of the social site and mobile games out there now.

Retro DOS Review: Beneath A Steel Sky
