A Challenging Crawler with Necropolis: Brutal Edition
We waited for the first mega patch to finish before reviewing the hard-boiled dungeon crawler Necropolis from Harebrained Schemes. This is one brutal action RPG in the vein of Dark Souls, and not for the faint of heart.
Loading Great SFX with the HyperX Cloud Revolver
Quality and comfort are two defining features of HyperX’s new Cloud Revolver headset. Perfect for eSports gamers looking for an edge or regular players craving a more immersive experience, loading up the Revolver is a great choice.
Livelock offers Simple but Fun Fighting
It’s another trip into the robot laden apocalypse with Perfect World Entertainment’s Livelock, a fun yet very generic top down shooter available now for consoles and the PC. While the single player experience may be a bit lacking, when playing with friends, Livelock really shines.
Explosive Brigador is Battletech Bathed in Neon
Brigador is an amazing new indie title that somehow seems to combine the best elements of games like MechCommander and Hotline Miami into a neon-drenched kill-fest featuring an almost completely destructible environment for your mechs to conquer.
Putting Together Fun with Broken Bots
Broken Bots is an 8-bit neon shooter similar in speed and style to Hotline Miami. While it certainly has its shortcomings, its entry-level price and totally over-the-top chaotic gameplay make it an exciting, if somewhat mindless, diversion.
Trying Their Hand at Space Horror in Phantaruk

Gliding Along with the ENHANCE GX-MP5 and GX-MP6 Gaming Pads
Most people will never change their mouse pad other than, perhaps, when they spill something on it. However, the Accessory Power GX-MP5 and GX-MP6 gaming pads make a compelling argument for more proactive thinking, lending a hand towards better play and higher scores.
Building Up to Greatness with The Kindred
While Voxel art styles are a dime a dozen, The Kindred manages to set itself apart with its sim-survival elements, beautiful world and a high ceiling for growth. It may still be in Steam Early Access, but The Kindred shows exceptional progress and offers a high level of fun even now.
Three Days of Fandom and Fun at RTX
The Rooster Teeth Expo, or RTX, is rapidly becoming one of the premier gaming conventions for the southwest, attracting over 60,000 visitors this year. We sent one of the GiN team down to Austin, Texas to check out this year’s amazing show.
Experiencing Unsettling Intrigue in Asemblance
A walking simulator in the vein of P.T. and The Stanley Parable, Asemblance is a trip that is deep in thought and feeling, but short in actual doing. Give this creepy thriller a try if you dare, but know going in that only the developers have been able to find the most complete ending to the story.
