'Eye of the Beholder'
Eye of the Beholder is a Dungeons and Dragons game originally released for the SNES. The GBA version has some changes, mostly in the battle system, but there are others such as a lack of a beholder, a gruesome ball like, fleshy, multi eyed beast, which can find your party of warriors just about anywhere. Obviously the beholder still exists, but it has decided to wait patiently for your arrival. It’s a smug prick.

'Final Fantasy':The Best Guest Party Members In Everyone's Favourite RPG Series
As early as its second game, the long running RPG series Final Fantasy has featured Guest characters. These characters, unlike the player's main party members who join them permanently as they make their way through the game, only join the party for a short period of time, usually present to move a certain part of the story forward. If the character takes part in battles, they are often stronger than the player's party. Sometimes, it is the player's job to keep the guest alive until they reach a certain location. Other times, they are there to make a heroic sacrifice that pushes the story forward.

The Plight of the Indie Developed Survival Video Game
More than a decade ago, the concept of an open-world game built around the struggles of survival in a cruel environment was new and fresh. It may have seen its first inception in the early 90s with UnReal World and later again in 2006 with the Java-released Wurm Online, but the genre didn’t really become a genre until 2009, with the release of Minecraft.

Player's Perspective: A Game Review
The Playstation 2 was one of, if not, the most successful selling consoles in video game history. By March 23, 2012, well over 150 million units were sold worldwide, a record in the gaming industry. To help make it so successful, a library of over three thousand games was created, and Champions: Return To Arms, is a hidden gem waiting to be looted from that treasure chest at the end of the dungeon.

A Survival Game Set in Antarctica Inspired by 'The Thing' (Atmospherically Speaking)
By the looks of the trailer, John Carpenter's cult classic (sadly overshadowed by Spielberg's E.T at the time) seems to be the obvious inspiration to the game. The developers whose previous release was The Novelist - a beautiful choice-driven dramatic game about an Ethereal's introspective into Human quality, have also agreed upon this statement in an interview.

Event[0]—Communication Is Crucial in This Cerebral Game About a Stranded Astronaut and a Skeptical AI Seeking Earth
Survival stories translated into movies, books and video games have taught us there are many ways to endure in a life altering/stagnating situation - Shut up and focus, proceed plan with the lowest possible death count/damage, use props to your advantage and elbow attacks, brainstorm & team-work, being selfish (works in certain B-grade movies) and a major leap of faith. There are more story arcs but this pretty much covers popular tactics.

Steam Tackles User Reviews With Histograms After 'Firewatch' Backlash: Here's What You Need To Know
When it comes to the media industry, reviews are meant to function as a shorthand, telling you what you need to know just by looking at the numbers. The higher the score, the better the game, movie, or show. For gamers, Steam's user reviews are the popular consensus on whether a game is good or not, and has since become a place for meme like joke reviews (such as the ones below) that absolutely serve no purpose for actual users looking for an accurate assessment of a game.

Pros: Extremely immersive art direction that brings players to the real-world Ural mountains Storytelling is directly told through the games willingness to let players adventure on their own Use of sound and the games imagery to tell the story is more powerful than the found diary clippings and narrative musings of Sean Bean

'Yoshi' for the Nintendo Switch: Everything We Know So Far
Mario's world has grown quite a bit since he faced off against Donkey Kong in 1981, especially when it comes to his supporting cast of characters. We've met Mario's brother Luigi (and their evil counterparts Wario and Waluigi), King Bowser and his koopas, Princess Toad and the entire Toad Kingdom, and countless other characters. Yet one of the most beloved characters to ever join Mario on an adventure is the great, green dinosaur Yoshi, who's getting another solo adventure.
