Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden Preview
I’ve been watching Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden for a few months now and always had a passing interest in it, but had yet to get my hands on it. This post-human apocalyptic turn-based strategy game has anthropomorphic characters and an interesting setting, but it wasn’t until actually playing that I realized my initial thoughts about it were slightly wrong.

WTF Seriously, who likes rabbids? They are awful.
Phantom Doctrine Preview
On September 1, 1983, the Soviet Union shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, killing 269 people including U.S. Representative Larry McDonald. A combination of fear, posturing, and paranoia led to the downing of KAL 007 and pushed the world closer to war… but what if there were an even more sinister motive behind what officially happened? This question is what CreativeForge Games’ upcoming Phantom Doctrine explores in its conspiracy-laden Cold War setting.
XCOM 2 Review
XCOM-municated
HIGH Dashing across the map to chop up alien scumbags with the Ranger's Reaper ability.
LOW The current PC build is a technical horror show.
WTF My entire squad missing every shot during a perfectly-planned ambush.
