Life Is Strange: True Colors Review

I have long been a fan of the Life Is Strange series, as such I jumped at the chance to review the brand new title by Deck Nine True Colors. The series has always been episodic, except The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit which served as a prequel/story addition for Life Is Strange 2.

If there is one thing that the series is good at, it's pulling at those heartstrings. True Colors continues the series style of a story-ba...

Dead Space 2 - In Space Only They Can Hear You Scream We kick off our 31 Days Of Halloween with a sequel. A sequel that very may well be better than the original.
