Genesis Alpha One Review: Lifeless as the Vacuum of Space

Matt Followell — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 09:58:55 +0000

There was once a time when I dreamed of designing video games; I think most gamers do as kids. While this dream ultimately evolved into working in IT, it still left me with a soft spot for indie games/studios. I am usually a bit more forgiving when independent titles lack a little polish, so long … Continue reading Genesis Alpha One Review: Lifeless as the Vacuum of Space →

DSOGaming – Yooka-Laylee Review

Matt Followell — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 15:52:45 +0000

For those of you reading that have been around for awhile, you know that it is no secret how big a fan I am of the Banjo Kazooie series and of just about all Nintendo 64 era Rare titles. What does this have to do with Yooka-Laylee you ask? Well Playtonic Games the studio behind Yooka-Laylee … Continue reading DSOGaming – Yooka-Laylee Review →

I Don’t Trust $60 Games

Matt Followell — Fri, 09 Dec 2016 16:38:47 +0000

If you aren’t from the United States this message may not ressonate quite the same, but the overall rhetoric remains; A triple A’ price tag, does not equate to a quality title. I find that as more time goes on and the more commercialized the gaming industry becomes, we see a decline in quality from … Continue reading I Don’t Trust $60 Games →

DSOGaming – Factorio Review

Matt Followell — Fri, 13 May 2016 11:24:17 +0000

Now before we get started I should fully disclose that Factorio is not for the faint of heart. When I first got my key for Factorio from the game's developers I told myself that I had to launch a rocket before I could ever write this review. More Inside.

DSOGaming – Bunker Punks Review

Matt Followell — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 10:10:02 +0000

Nearly a year ago I interviewed Shane Neville and Independent Developer. At that time Shane was working on a little title called Bunker Punks, well it is now available. About 4 weeks ago Shane reached out to me via email about doing a review of Bunker Punks and I happily obliged as I have been incredibly excited for … Continue reading DSOGaming – Bunker Punks Review →

DSOGaming – Forced: Showdown Review

Matt Followell — Sun, 27 Mar 2016 23:06:12 +0000

Forced: Showdown, while retaining the same name as its parent title, this iteration in the series is quite different from its predecessor. What sets Forced: Showdown apart from the original Forced is its new card system. In Forced: Showdown you battle your way through an arena filled with worthy (or not so worthy) adversaries all … Continue reading DSOGaming – Forced: Showdown Review →

DSOGaming – Kwaan Review

Matt Followell — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 15:12:37 +0000

I usually try to balance out my gaming plate with a nice big helping of indie games, although in the past I haven’t had the time to review a lot of them simply because there were so many big releases that the indie games kind of fell below my radar. Kwaan has my latest does … Continue reading DSOGaming – Kwaan Review →

DSOGaming – XCOM 2 Review

Matt Followell — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 00:57:31 +0000

I have never been so frustrated with a game while also so driven to finish it. XCOM 2 even at its easiest difficulty is absolutely brutal and only the most diligent of commanders will be able to make it through the entire game without losing any of your troops and even then it is unlikely. … Continue reading DSOGaming – XCOM 2 Review →

DSOGaming – Punch Club Review

Matt Followell — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 20:11:35 +0000

Before Punch Club was ever released publicly many of us were already intimately familiar with it as the developers let Twitch beat the game before it was released. This a good publicity stunt by the developers because it put their game in the spotlight at very little cost to them, so kudos to them on … Continue reading DSOGaming – Punch Club Review →

The Underrated Upgrades – Audio Part 1

Matt Followell — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 00:22:24 +0000

This is a particular section that I hold dear to my heart as an audiophile. Now this upgrade isn’t nearly as underrated as the seating on, but I feel like it is often left out of people’s budget. I’m going to try to keep this within a reasonable budget but I’m also going to provide … Continue reading The Underrated Upgrades – Audio Part 1 →
