Stronghold Warlords transposes the classic strategy game onto a new East Asian setting. I have a bit of a soft spot for the Stronghold franchise. The hybrid of real-time strategy and city-builder has been a PC gaming comfort food since it debuted all the way back in 2001. Stronghold developer Firefly Studios never reinvents the wheel with new

I flung my pastel pink jelly bean body against the doorway’s twisted patterns with reckless abandon, but it was no use. This was not the door-hole for me, and I winced as a neon-blue competitor repeated the same task two doors down, only for the door to fall and the path to open. They were

Carrion, the new pixel-art delight from publisher Devolver Digital and developer Phobia Game Studio, claims to be a “reverse horror” game– a horror game where you play as the terror, not the terrorized. Yet I found that during my hands-on with Carrion at E3, I spent more time laughing out loud than shrinking in fear. And
