Super Amazing Wagon Adventure (PC) Review

 
Not every game worth playing is a huge cinematic AAA experience or an RPG game you will spend dozens (and maybe hundreds) of hours completing. Sometimes something much smaller and much more experimental falls in your lap and just begs to be looked into. And when you see one that takes it's inspiration from Oregon Trail and promises to go absolutely insane, you take a second look.

Human Resource Machine (PC) Review

There are studios who leave their mark with you, even in their first game. With their rather odd but unmistakable style, quirky way of weaving a meta-story, and even unique choice of game sensibilities, the Tomorrow Company has made themselves one of these studios to me. Having loved both of their games before this one (World of Goo and Little Inferno), I knew I would be playing this one in due time too. But I'm afraid this game might be just a bit weaker then the last few.

2000 to 1: a Space Felony (PC) Review

Curiosity is a powerful drug. And with a name like this showing up one day in the Humble Bundle, how could I not be curious about it? Still it could not outshine what I was playing at the time, so it went into the backlog for a couple years. But among my online groups it turns out I was not the only one curious about this title... so let's see what the hell is going on.

Let the Extra Life 2020 run begin!

Hi everyone! Welcome and the title says it all! Here at the Red Sector, we have have already begun raising cash for Extra Life and formed our own team. And today we are making our official announcement.

This early in the event, donations are indeed nice, but before even that, we want to see you take part. Are you a gamer who wants to use your hobby for good?

This is an amazing way to do so, and all the details are here at www.extra-life.org. And if you wish to help us, well... thank you. Our team page is reachable by that thermometer image on the right-side of our page.

Thank you everyone.

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (PC) Review

I have not had a lot of experience with games by the venerable game studio Falcom. In fact before now, I had only ever played the first two Y's games. But my first encounter with them happened at a much much younger age. I was a tiny kid during the age of the original NES, and at times a game would come along with a mysterious enough concept that that alone would at least draw my attention for a while. Faxanadu was one of those games. I never got to play it, but I remember watching a friend play before having to go home one day. At the time, my curiosity was satisfied and I moved on...

At least I did until I found Xanadu Next was part of a sale on gog.com. My curiosity peaked, I found not only that the NES game that grabbed that same curiosity was a spinoff from a series I never even knew existed, but there was another such spin-off that instantly felt more familiar to me from the trailer: Tokyo Xanadu eX+. At the time I left both games alone as my backlog was kinda large for a game who's place in the main timeline I couldn't even guess as well as another more enticing, but full price title. Then Tokyo Xanadu eX+ went on a steep sale. And I promised myself I play it next as I picked it up. I kinda lied a bit to myself due to news at E3: PSO2 coming out in the west demanded this title wait till I was done with Ragol. But as soon as I finished with Phantasy Star Online, it was time to install.
