Road 96: Mile 0 Review – Takin’ a Ride with My Best Friend
In ditching the randomness that was core to the original Road 96 experience, Road 96: Mile 0 feels less unique. However, this prequel still has a bumping soundtrack, some fun gameplay, and just enough...

Dredge Review – Ominously Awesome
A game that combines genres and tones from opposite sides of the spectrum is a proposition that could sink a lesser team, but Black Salt Games’ Dredge is as cohesive and spooky as they come.
