Gaming

Every iteration of a simulation game needs to offer more than its predecessor, but needs to do so without cluttering the menu system or making things too difficult to understand. The real challenge is figuring out how to make that happen.

If you can handle the pace of the release schedule, TellTale's 'Game of Thrones' is a worthwhile series. But as the second of six episodes, The Lost Lords is bound to feel a bit middling despite its merits.

'Life is Strange' attempts to add some indie movie authenticity, along with time manipulation to the graphical adventure game genre, and except for some unevenness in the dialogue, for the most part succeeds.

Despite the narrative being a bit light, and some tedious side missions, 'Dying Light' is an interesting and worthwhile take on zombies and the survival horror genre.

Literary nerds, brace yourselves. The developers, writers, and artists at Dejobaan Games have finally created the ultimate game for you.

'Citizens of Earth' is a fun, humorous, and well-presented game that unfortunately gets bogged down with the tedium of a few poor design choices.
