Agents of Mayhem

Volition and I have quite the storied history. Pretty much every game they’ve ever made ranks itself as a member of my personal collection, with the majority sitting firm and resolute among my favourites list. So, of course, when I heard they were working on a new title, my interest was piqued. Though, honestly, I…

Now You Can Manage Your Own Jurassic Park

Jurassic World Evolution, aside from being a cringe worthy name, is an upcoming management sim in which you build your own Jurassic Park. Cool, that's done, now we can all go home.

We Happy Few Becomes We Happy DLC

The people over at Compulsion, developers of We Happy Few, which I wrote a glowing preview for not one week ago, have announced a partnership with Gearbox to bring the game to a full, multi-platform, retail release. And there was much rejoicing! By which I mean a slew of negative reactions. According to them, it's…
