This finale give justice to the series as its a fantastic ending and closure to the Blackwell story filled with Drama, mystery and a touch of humor. It is truly a must play to the point and click adventure players as well as new players. Hoping to see another great adventure project soon from Wadjet Eye Games."

Analog Addiction writes, "Cold, Cold Heart is a story add-on for 2013s Batman: Arkham Origins. It is set on New Years Eve, roughly a week after the events of the base game. Developer WB Montreal tells the story of Batmans first encounter with Mr. Freeze. The result is a solid stand-alone experience which makes the idea of episodic Batman story content appealing."

News::War of the Vikings Review | GB

"However, regardless of the way the game deals with this it's not game breaking, nor is it an immediate repel. The problem with its multiplayer-only system is that it presents itself in an unfriendly manner that's not really suited to a pick up and play audience, that simply wants to dive straight into the battle. Being able to confidently say that I'm not the only one who feels this way and sees this as a problem, it's very safe to say that if you want some enjoyment from War of the Vikings, you'll have to bare through these minor hiccups and be somewhat patient. Not forgetting to mention, that you'll have to get used to it."

News::Even More Mind-Blowing Cosplay From Calgary Expo 2014!

News::The Strange Growth of Mushroom 11 | Hardcore Gamer

One of the stranger games hidden on the PAX East floor was a puzzle-platformer about an amorphous mass working its way through a side-scrolling wasteland. The green blob could be herded by destroying part of it, causing new growths to quickly sprout from an undamaged side. While the blob was basically stationary and immobile when left alone, erasing one side caused the other to grow, resulting in it seeming to ooze across the land. No matter how quickly you erased the blob it would always have at least one cell left from which the entire mass would regrow in a matter of seconds, but a dip in lava or carelessly brushing against acid would kill it dead. It was a bleak little game, set in a destroyed wasteland of ruined buildings deteriorating against orange skies, but watching the blob flow through pipes and over toxic sludge was morbidly fascinating. The excellent puzzle design that kept pushing the blob's abilities was a big plus, too.

GR writes: Let's partake in a thought experiment: I want you to picture a video game character you hate.

The one that's a blemish on your favorite game, or the returning flaw in the franchise you love? The super annoying one. Great. Now, what if I was to tell you that you're wrong for hating that character. How would that make you feel? Well, good news: unless you were picturing one of the seven in this article, I'm not going to be bursting any bubbles. If, by chance, you were thinking about one of the characters I listed, well, then yeah. I'm going to be telling you that you're wrong. Sorry.
