DamnationThere are few things more annoying than buying a new full priced game on the day of release only to find out it is a big fat turkey. Damnation from Blue Omega Entertainment is just such a game. It was heavily hyped by publishers Codemasters who described it as a steampunk shooter set to take things vertical. The gamble to buy a game before the reviews come out is always a risky business and in this case it proved disastrous. Damnation racked up a Metacritic score of 42 out of 100. Read more

Where is the line between what is and what is not a video game? As fascinating as all the complex, cinematic games of the past few years can be, some of the most engrossing games out there are the ones that are so simple they barely qualify as games. Of any gaming company in the history of the industry, none have been better than Maxis at releasing titles that can easily occupy four hours of play-time before the player knows it. What's more, they've managed to do this with extremely simple games. Read more

These days, the video game industry is fairly narrow. A few big companies dominate the scene, if only because they can pump millions of dollars into the development of what have become professional-level games. The visual design budget alone of any one of these games surpasses the money available for everything in a small studio, so it's practically impossible to compete. It's gotten to the point that ambitious startups are almost automatically dubbed "alternative" or "independent", labels previously applied to film and music that had too small an audience to be considered commercial.

But in the context of where it came from, the game is even more satisfying. Read more
