When I saw Valiant Hearts earlier this year, I knew it was going to try and make us all cry and it did not disappoint. It truly captures the tension and deadliness of trench warfare and really all war. The true horror of crossing into No Man’s Land  and the loss of your troops in the blink of an eye. Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination triggers WWI due to the complicated web of treaties and the world was changed forever. Germans were being deported from France back to Ge

When you wake up your crew is nowhere to be found. So your journey begins, you must find your crew and figure out a way to survive or get back to Earth.

That’s right ladies. The second episode opens with you sleeping through one of the ladies trying to wake you up. After failed attempts she walks away, I as

At first Banished looks like just another city builder. It’s like Sim City with elements of Civilization but much more involved. You play as a group of exiles restarting life in a new and possibly dangerous land. As the scene opens and you see your people milling around you immediately have to start building. You have a supply cart but that will go fast, so before it disappears you need to build storage areas and shelter. As soon as shelter is completed you better get a woodc

So right when I fire it up we find Richard in a prison cell and he is bored out of his mind when something strange happens. The guards bring in a new prisoner, he is dying to talk with whomever is in there. Once Alice awakes Richard is chatting with her. At first she is cold and shies away from you. After sometime though you become friendly and are always c
