Like others, game music is what I listen to when I need to concentrate but finding the right soundtrack is difficult. So I decided to make a list of albums that are good exactly for that. Hope you gus like it :D

Thanks SNESdrunk, I hope it can help you out :)

Please do not die in the corridors.

I didn't expect it, but Theme Hospital has held up remarkably well and it's every bit as interesting, funny and well-made as it was on release day.

My review:
Theme Hospital - A

Re: Erik Twice Reviews: I join STG Weekly for Xevious!

The great hosts of STG Weekly decided to invite me over to talk about one of the most influential games ever made: Xevious! And since my love for that game is boundless, how could I say no? It's a really fun episode, with lots of anecdotes and random quips about the game including a strange anecdote of Masanobu Endo and ice cream.

Re: Erik Twice Reviews: This War of Mine is a zombie game.

This War of Mine is full of accidental whitewashing of the Bosnian War, using it as little more than wallpaper. Deep down, it's a zombie game, practically identical to Dead of Winter or all those "zombie crafting survival" games that spawned in the wake of Don't Starve under an ahistorical façade.

Overwatch - A


I reviewed Overwatch, a new team-based first person shooter made by Blizzard which is sweeping the world of gaming as we speak. It's fun, fast and quite derivative, being better than many of the alternatives but not enough to bat on a higher league.

This was a strange review for me. On one hand, I think my criticism of the game is spot-on and I cover the game from angles that I don't think many reviewers would. But it's very messy for a writing standpoint and would benefit quite heavily from an editor's touch. Still, I hope you guys find it interesting and share your thoughts on it
