I’m a big fan of tower defense. Whether towers are upgradeable (Defense Grid: The Awakening), the player participates in the battles (Sanctum, Orcs Must Die), or the game can be played for 15 minutes on a break at work (too many to mention thanks to Internet game sites), I love the genre. Unstoppable Gorg is no exception. The presentation is good, the spin on the typical formula is fun and there’s no shortage of unit types to play with. READ MORE

There are a few problems, but my love for the source material and Telltale’s great treatment of it was more than enough to overcome them. READ MORE
I’m sure that everyone has, at some point in their life, wanted to go back in time and change something. Whether that is how you reacted to something, a decision you made, or even a conversation you had.

This is a game that asks a lot of interesting, almost philosophical questions about memories and does so in a heartfelt package. READ MORE
