As the self-proclaimed Free2Play guru of the Horrible Night contributors, I felt it important to give the community an update on my current go-to F2P game of the past year, Wargaming.net’s World of Tanks. A lot has changed since my initial review in June 2011, and I’ve never been more excited than I am for this update. For those of you unfamiliar with the title, World of Tanks (WoT) is a MMO in which you take command of WWII era [...]

My first introduction to Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes was on the Xbox Live Marketplace in April 2011. I downloaded the demo, gave it a couple of hours of attention, and I never pulled the trigger on the purchase. This puzzle RPG by Capybara Games looked good, but I didn’t know if I should put down the money for the purchase. When the Steam Summer Sale came around this summer I found Clash of Heroes for roughly 75% off [...]

Rage Recoil Review: Never Felt Better

There are risks to my method of purchasing games, since most of the time, the method goes something like this: let Justin Lacey buy the game and then find out whether it’s worth purchasing.

Despite my ever-lasting love [...]

Back in October, I got sucked into the action/RPG/tower defense game Dungeon Defenders. While my dedication to the game ebbed and flowed throughout the jam-packed insanity of Epic Release Fall and the subsequent holiday season, it’s been a great game to fall back on and I’ve been happy to see that Trendy Entertainment has kept Dungeon Defenders filled to the brim with all manner of free and paid DLC. That being said, it’s very easy to get lost in all [...]

Of all of the video game franchises around, many of you probably already know that I hold the Castlevania series nearest and dearest to my heart. From the moment I first caught wind of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, I knew that it was a make or break moment for the series. All previous 3D Castlevania’s had been given a lot of criticism and this one needed to break that habit and blow us all away. All in all, the game [...]
