Tower defense games as we know them are here to stay, but every now and then we are presented with a title that revolutionizes the genre.

PC Game Review: Resonance Combines Four Adventures in One

by

Resonance will not charm its players with state of the art graphics, gorgeous sound effects or any of the technological wonders that gamers tend to take for granted.

PC Game Review: Anna is Scary for all the Wrong Reasons

by

Zombies, ghouls and other nightmarish creatures can hardly scare savvy gamers who’ve had their fair share of confrontation with monsters.
