Many of us of a certain age remember how Terminator 2: Judgment Day shaped our world, only to flash forward and find ourselves playing one of the many terrible licensed games based on the film for home consoles by LJN or Ocean. Years later, Bitmap Bureau has been programmed to go back in time and […]

Salt and Sacrifice is the latest release from two-person development team, Ska Studios. It’s easy to think of Salt and Sacrifice as an out-and-out sequel to 2016’s Salt and Sanctuary.

I’ll be up front, I saw a screen shot and thought it was from a hentai. It’s also what sold me. I never felt that it went overboard or was needlessly […]
