‘Vertigo Remastered’ Review – a Pioneering VR Shooter Revitalized for 2020

Vertigo (2016) proved to be an ambitious room-scale VR title that pioneered the medium alongside the best of them back in 2016. Now ostensibly overhauled completely, Vertigo Remastered (2020) refreshes the VR shooter's threadbare low-poly aesthetic with a richer, more immersive...

‘The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners’ Review – Satisfyingly Drenched in Existential Angst

‘Budget Cuts 2’ Review – Great Action in a Slightly More Generic Sequel
