Never Ending Backlog: Wacky Wheels
December 11, 2020 21:00 - 8 minutes - 6.18 MBWe are ending the week off with one of the first games we think we have ever played on PC. Wacky Wheels, by Beavis Soft (now FastTrack Animations) and Apogee Software (now 3D Realms) on Steam. Granted, ours wasn't on Steam, no, it was on floppy disk, found in the shareware section of our local thrift shop. Nonetheless, you won't want to miss this classic. Steam Description: Nothing beats the excitement of playing against friends. In Wacky Wheels, you can do just that. Play with a friend in ...

December 11, 2020 01:00 - 9 minutes - 6.29 MBWelcome back to the Never Ending Backlog podcast , today we will be reviewing Funatics Software's and Daedalic Entertainment's, Valhalla Hills, on Steam. This is a game that we've had for a bit, and unfortunately just never got around to playing it. It certainly wasn't what we expected we had this chance to review it; however, it does seem to follow heavily in The Settlers franchise's footsteps. Steam Description: Lead your people. Survive the wilderness. Fight for honor. Reclaim your etern...
Never Ending Backlog: Ultimate Doom
December 09, 2020 23:00 - 8 minutes - 6.01 MBToday's review needs no introduction, it has been a PC staple point for decades; it built and continuously represented the PC gaming FPS genre. Today we are reviewing Ultimate Doom, by id Software on Steam. We remember going to my local thrift-shop and purchasing floppy disks with Doom on them, they were the shareware version and sealed in a plastic baggies. It's also where we learned about Raptor, Jazz Jackrabbit, and many other great classics. But today's Doom is a slightly updated versi...

December 08, 2020 23:00 - 10 minutes - 7.32 MBRoll for initiative... 1 Welcome back to the Never Ending Backlog podcast!

Today we are reviewing Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation, a Dungeons & Dragons Adventure, by BKOM Studios, on Steam. Steam Description: On the deadly peninsula of Chult, an adventuring party must fight their way through dangerous jungles, labyrinths and dungeons to...
Never Ending Backlog: Sacred 2 Gold
December 07, 2020 21:00 - 8 minutes - 5.72 MBWelcome back to another episode of the Never Ending Backlog podcast. Today we will be reviewing Sacred 2 Gold on Steam.

Will Sacred 2 live up the standards of Sacred? Join us and find out! Steam Description: Experience the world of Ancaria in its full glory with Sacred 2: Gold Edition. Containin...
Never Ending Backlog: Townscaper
December 04, 2020 21:00 - 8 minutes - 5.61 MBWe're ending our Autumn Sale Steam Week with a toy/game that we have had our eye on for a little while. It's technically not really a "game" since there is no objectives nor goals (then again Vanilla Minecraft was less of a game as well, but we digress); however, it has a terrific interface, amazing graphics, and is a TINY download (62mb). Today we are reviewing Oskar Stålberg's, Townscaper, on Steam. Steam Description: Build quaint island towns with curvy streets. Build small hamlets, soar...
Never Ending Backlog: Sunset Overdrive
December 03, 2020 23:00 - 8 minutes - 5.56 MBWe are continuing Steam's Autumn Sale Week on the Never Ending Backlog, and playing a game that we've played briefly on the Xbox One; however, were ecstatic when we heard it was ported over to PC. Today we are reviewing Sunset Overdrive, by Insomniac Games and Blind Squirrel Games! Steam Description: Sunset Overdrive transforms an open-world apocalypse into your tactical playground. Zip, grind and wall-run across Sunset City with an unconventional arsenal. Hyper-agility, unique weapons, and...
Never Ending Backlog: The Sims 4
December 02, 2020 21:00 - 10 minutes - 7.48 MBOn today's episode of the Never Ending Backlog, we are reviewing a game that is found on two gaming services, Origin, and Steam; that game is The Sims 4 by Maxis and EA Games. We have actually played The Sims 4 for quite some time; however, that was all on Origin, and when EA brought over a large chunk of their library to Steam, we wanted to see how games were being handled; therefore we snagged The Sims 4 on Steam's Autumn Sale for this review. Steam Description: Play with life and discove...
Never Ending Backlog: A Short Hike
December 01, 2020 21:00 - 7 minutes - 5.35 MBHere we are on Day Two of Steam's Autumn Sale Week and once again, we are pleasantly surprised and delighted with our next purchase that we are reviewing. Today we are reviewing the incredibly charming, A Short Hike, by developer Adamgryu. What is A Short Hike? According to Steam: Hike, climb, and soar through the peaceful mountainside landscapes of Hawk Peak Provincial Park as you make your way to the summit. We're not going to beat around the bush here, we absolutely adored this game. Th...
Never Ending Backlog: Age of Empires: Definitive Edition
November 30, 2020 21:00 - 11 minutes - 7.78 MBIn celebration of Steam's Autumn Sale we have decided to dub this week, Steam's Autumn Sale Week! (Creative right)? Anyways, in celebration of this great week that fills our Steam libraries while lightening our wallets, we are reviewing five games that we purchased during this sale, to see if they are worth picking up. For today, we are reviewing a game that is a personal favorite of ours, from a very popular RTS (Real-Time Strategy) franchise. Today, we are reviewing, Age of Empires: Defin...
Never Ending Backlog: Halo 4
November 27, 2020 21:00 - 9 minutes - 6.35 MBToday is a great episode! Why is that, you ask? Well we have a few reason: Today is the last day of Halo Week, and we are reviewing Halo 4; which we have never played yet! Today is our 50th Episode! 50 games have been removed from our backlog. This week was Steam's Autumn sale, and we gathered five games, that we will be reviewing next week for our Steam Autumn Sale Week! So there you have it, it's a great episode, and we had a blast experiencing Halo 4 for the first time. What is Halo ...
Never Ending Backlog: Halo 3: ODST
November 26, 2020 21:00 - 10 minutes - 7.59 MBHappy Thanksgiving from everyone at the Never Ending Backlog podcast! We hope you enjoy your day, and enjoy Steam's Autumn Sale, we know our backlog is enjoying it, as it's continually growing again. But new games aside, today we are returning to Halo Week, with the side-story game, Halo 3: ODST which is essentially a mini-Firefly reunion. If you're not sure why, be sure to tune in to find out. Steam Description: Halo 3: ODST comes to PC as the next installment in Halo: The Master Chief Co...
Never Ending Backlog: Halo 3
November 25, 2020 22:00 - 10 minutes - 7.01 MBIt's here! A game that introduced us to online console gaming, and probably sucked away half of our life from screaming at 12 year old's, drinking too much Mountain Dew, and snacking on too many Doritos. But today, we are reviewing Halo 3 in the Master Chief Collection on Steam. Steam Description: Halo 3 comes to PC as the next installment in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Now optimized for PC, witness the Master Chief’s return to finish the fight between the Covenant, the Flood, and th...
Never Ending Backlog: Halo 2: Anniversary
November 24, 2020 21:00 - 9 minutes - 6.5 MBDay two of Halo Week is here! And guess what we're reviewing? You guessed it! Halo 2: Anniversary in the Master Chief Collection on Steam. We actually don't remember much of Halo 2; we remember parts of it; however, we figured it was a darker period of our life, and we're probably just blocking it out. But doom and gloom aside, let's review it! Steam Description: Halo 2: Anniversary comes to PC as the next installment in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Now optimized for PC, experience th...
Never Ending Backlog: Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
November 23, 2020 22:00 - 16 minutes - 11.2 MBWelcome back to the Never Ending Backlog! In celebration of a month full of next-generation console releases, amazing games from amazing developers, and Halo 4 coming to the Master Chief Collection on Steam; we have decided to declare this week, Halo Week! We purchased the Master Chief Collection when Halo: Reach had just dropped and we absolutely loved playing it on the computer in completion, everything worked wonderfully, and overall it was a great experience. However, we then started a...
Never Ending Backlog: Iesabel
November 20, 2020 21:00 - 8 minutes - 6.01 MBWelcome back to the Never Ending Backlog podcast. Today we are reviewing the indie action RPG title, Iesabel, that I had originally thought was Jesabel, due to the font. However, now that we corrected that error, here is Iesabel, by Forever Entertainment S. A. Steam Description: In the times of darkness, only the mightiest of heroes can save the world. Stand out against the evil all by yourself in epic single player mode. Swarms of bloodthirsty monsters, loads of epic gear to collect, dozen...

Dive down a rabbit hoIe as you follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker, whose death may not have been the accident the media reports. Using old school command prompts and real hackin...
Never Ending Backlog: Game Of Thrones The Role Playing Game
November 18, 2020 21:00 - 8 minutes - 6.23 MBIf this podcast shows us anything, it's that we clearly are now spending more time playing computer games, than watching television shows and movie franchises. Similar to the Alien franchise from our previous episode where we reviewed Alien: Isolation, we have not really paid attention to any Game of Thrones episodes, yet here we are now; reviewing Game of Thrones The Role Playing Game on Steam. Steam Description: Experience an amazing adventure in one of the most fascinating universes! Ami...
Never Ending Backlog: F1 2018
November 17, 2020 21:00 - 9 minutes - 6.24 MBStart your engines! Wait... we think we've started a podcast that way before... Oh well, it's likely we will start every racing themed game review on our backlog that way, so look forward to that! Today we are jumping back into the seat and trying out Codemaster's, F1 2018, on Steam. What is F1 2018? According to Steam: F1® 2018 is the official videogame of the 2018 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™. Become immersed in the world of Formula 1® more than ever before. Build your reputation ...
Never Ending Backlog: East India Company Gold
November 16, 2020 21:00 - 9 minutes - 6.26 MBWelcome back to the Never Ending Backlog podcast! We are back to a normal week! We have done SEGA Week, Horror Week, and there will no doubt be a Point-and-Click week; however, not this week! Today we are sailing and trading on the high seas in the Not-Always a Pirate RTS/Combat Simulator, East India Company Gold, on Steam. Steam Description: In East India Company, players will enjoy building the World's most powerful trading empire & engaging in vigorous battles in both single player & m...
Never Ending Backlog: Goosebumps: The Game
November 13, 2020 19:00 - 7 minutes - 5.1 MBWe are ending Horror Week on the Never Ending Backlog with a game built on a childhood franchise favorite of mine, R.L. Stine's, Goosebumps: The Game. From visiting my local pharmacy/bookstore as a child purchasing Goosebumps novels, to tuning in on Saturday mornings for the Goosebumps television show, I have nothing but fond memories of the children's horror series. Today's review is based on the Scholastic Point-and-Click Goosebumps that was released as a prequel to Sony's new'ish Goosebum...
Never Ending Backlog: Dead by Daylight
November 12, 2020 22:00 - 9 minutes - 6.69 MBOnly two days left of Horror Week on the Never Ending Backlog podcast. Previously, today's game was briefly installed, played once, and then immediately uninstalled. It's not because it was a bad game, but instead because my computer at the time could not support it. Fortunately that situation has been rectified and we are now able to play it in 5760 x 1080 resolution, on Ultra settings, and it works excellently! Today's review is Dead by Daylight. What is Dead by Daylight, according to Ste...
Never Ending Backlog: Alien: Isolation
November 11, 2020 23:00 - 8 minutes - 6.03 MBWelcome back to Horror Week on the Never Ending Backlog podcast. Today we are reviewing a game that was a recent bundle purchase, and one that we have been extremely excited to play. We have heard great things about today's game. Is the suspense killing you? Well if you read the title, then you know today's review is none other than the Horror/FPS, Alien: Isolation. Steam Description: Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant d...
Never Ending Backlog: Crawl
November 11, 2020 01:00 - 8 minutes - 5.77 MBDay two of Horror Week on the Never Ending Backlog podcast is here! Today we are reviewing a new favorite of ours, Crawl, by developer, Powerhoof. Games like Crawl made us really appreciate that we are hosting this podcast. It is the purpose we were hoping for. Beyond great interviews with developers, we are able to discover excellent indie games that deserve to be supported, and played! So what is Crawl? According to Steam: Crawl is the local multiplayer dungeon crawler where your friends...
Never Ending Backlog: Monstrum
November 09, 2020 21:00 - 9 minutes - 6.79 MBWe are running a little late here on the Never Ending Backlog podcast! This week was planning on being launched around Halloween; due to the fact that it focuses on horror/survival/spooky games that have yet to be played from our Steam backlog. However, we'll just say we were late to the party! Anyways, to kick off Horror Week on the Never Ending Backlog podcast, we are starting off by reviewing the indie, horror, survival FPS game, Monstrum, created by developer Team Junkfish. What is Mon...
Never Ending Backlog: Dark Ages
November 06, 2020 23:00 - 9 minutes - 6.74 MBWe are rounding out this week of reviews with a terrific side-view, retro platformer from 1991, created by Apogee Software and 3D Realms; which are two amazing groups that are single-handedly responsible for our love and interest in retro computer games. Today we are reviewing Dark Ages, part of the 3D Realms Anthology collection. Steam Description: In Dark Ages, you’re the Prince of the Great Kingdom, who as a child watched the King – your father – die at the hands of Garth, a power mad wa...
Never Ending Backlog: Call of Duty: Ghosts
November 05, 2020 21:00 - 9 minutes - 6.8 MBA review we have been dreading is upon us. This game is the reason we critique nearly every developer for allowing a triple-monitor resolution; while not actively optimizing the quality to at least somewhat support it. If a game can't be played at 5760 x 1080, we understand, it's an unusual resolution, and there are far more normalized resolutions to support. That being said though, if you offer it as an option, we do expect it to work. Griping aside, today's review is of the 2014 blockbust...
Never Ending Backlog: Balancelot
November 04, 2020 21:00 - 9 minutes - 6.52 MBThough this episode was slated to be Back To The Future Episode Two; we have decided that it would be best to play Episode One all the way through; that way we have a better experience since we do have Episodes Three, Four, and Five as well, on the horizon. We are thinking we can do a Back To The Future week on the Never Ending Backlog, and that would be entertaining for us as well. In the meantime though, we needed another unplayed and unreviewed game title that started with the letter B. ...
Never Ending Backlog: Abyss Odyssey
November 03, 2020 18:00 - 9 minutes - 6.81 MBOn today's episode of the Never Ending Backlog, we are reviewing ACE Team's, mature adventure, side-scrolling platformer, Abyss Odyssey. Abyss Odyssey is one of those games we have seen many times when scrolling through our game collection; however, we had assumed it was an entirely different type of game. We assumed it was an indie title (which it is); however, we expected a small budget development, that might have been neglected over the years. Fortunately, we were absolutely wrong. Abys...
Never Ending Backlog: 100% Orange Juice
November 03, 2020 00:00 - 10 minutes - 7.09 MBWelcome back to the next episode of the Never Ending Backlog podcast. Today we are starting near the top of our backlog list, with Orange_Juice's: indie, strategy, board/card game, 100% Orange Juice! This is one of those games we have no recollection of where it came from, when we got it, nor what it was. Essentially this is one of the games that was the reason behind this entire project; so, we are grateful we get to play it and review it today. Without further ado, let's start the review. ...
Never Ending Backlog: SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics
October 30, 2020 19:00 - 11 minutes - 7.71 MBWhat is better than ending our SEGA review week with a massive (70+ games) collection packed into the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics game, available on Steam. Growing up with the Genesis, allowed us the ability to play a large chunk of these games in our past; however, there are so many available here, and presented in an optional yet unique VR experience. So grab your VR headset (if you have one), find a controller, and jump back in time with us as we play dozens of classic SEGA games...
Never Ending Backlog: Streets of Kamurocho
October 29, 2020 20:00 - 6 minutes - 4.76 MBPunch, punch, kick, kick! Noooooooooo! Welcome back to the next episode of the Never Ending Backlog podcast. Today we are reviewing the limited-timeframe, promotional freeware, beat’em up computer game, Streets of Kamurocho; released for SEGA’s 60th Anniversary celebration, this year, or 2020 for anyone joining us later. A hybrid of Streets of Rage 2 and the Yakuza series, Streets of Kamurocho has officially been the only complete playthrough game on this podcast! Less than an hour of game ...
Never Ending Backlog: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
October 28, 2020 20:00 - 9 minutes - 6.26 MBRacers start your engines! As we continue to celebrate 60 glorious years of SEGA, we are reviewing the first entry in the Sonic Racing franchise, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing! Though there have been times where we have tried a race or two over the years, in a Sonic Racing game, we never really got into it, which after this review, we have decided is extremely unfortunate; because we simply had a blast! Steam description: SONIC AND SEGA ALL-STARS RACE FOR VICTORY IN A HIGH SPEED HIGH SKILL ...
Never Ending Backlog: Sonic Adventure DX
October 27, 2020 21:00 - 14 minutes - 9.96 MBDay Two of our SEGA 60th Anniversary week of reviews! Today we are going back to a personal favorite of Zach's, and that game is the Dreamcast flagship title, Sonic Adventure. However, since this is on Steam, this is actually the Sonic Adventure Director's Cut or DX for short. Steam Description: An ancient evil lurking within the Master Emerald has been unleashed from its slumber by the devious Dr. Eggman and is on the verge of becoming the ultimate monster using the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Only...
Never Ending Backlog: Sonic Generations Collection
October 26, 2020 20:00 - 13 minutes - 9.11 MBWelcome back to another episode, and another review on the Never Ending Backlog podcast. In honor of SEGA's 60th Anniversary, this week we are reviewing nothing but unplayed, and unreviewed SEGA games that are sitting and collecting eDust on our Steam backlog shelves. Today's review we are taking a look at Sonic Generations Collection, a ported console game, that is meant to appeal to old and young Sonic players alike. Brief Steam Description: Celebrate 20 years of Sonic in an all new adve...
Never Ending Backlog: Return Of The Zombie King & Interview
October 23, 2020 23:00 - 13 minutes - 9.22 MBWelcome back everyone to the Never Ending Backlog! Today we have a very special treat. Not only are we reviewing a game from a developer we have already reviewed (Return To Adventure Mountain, LLC), we are also joined by the Owner and Developer at RTAM, Chris Zukowski, the developer behind games such as 1-Screen Platformer, Return Of The Zombie King, and the now-Wishlist 'able, 1-Screen Platformer 2 (Wishlist it on Steam here). But wait, there's more! If you follow both Never Ending Backlog...
Never Ending Backlog: UFO: Afterlight
October 22, 2020 21:00 - 13 minutes - 9.52 MBWhat's this? Two Bohemia Interactive games in one week? What are the odds! Some might say, as good as odds as multiple point-and-click adventure games in one week; and if you have been listening to this podcast over the past couple of months you would know what those odds were, you would know. Anyways, we are back with a new review of the 2007, Real-Time-Tactic game, UFO: Afterlight. The third entry in the series (though I never played the first two), UFO: Afterlight follows a similar vein ...
Never Ending Backlog: Take On Helicopters
October 21, 2020 21:00 - 10 minutes - 7.48 MBDo you enjoy helicopters? How about the thought of free-flying around Seattle? Are you the type of person who heads immediately for the helicopter in games like Arma and Battlefield Bad Company 2? If so, then Take On Helicopters is likely for you! No TOH is not a tribute to my favorite band, a-ha's, popular song Take On Me; although I would probably like the game more if it was. Take On Helicopters is created by Bohemia Interactive (thus the Arma statement above), and features a wide var...
Never Ending Backlog: GO SEGA: 60th Anniversary
October 20, 2020 21:00 - 13 minutes - 9.33 MBWelcome to a new episode of the Never Ending Backlog, today we are mixing things up a bit and instead of reviewing a specific game, we are prepping for next week. As you might be aware, 2020 marks the 60th anniversary of SEGA and their various properties. Next week, Zach will review five (possibly more) SEGA games that have sat in his Steam backlog. As a huge fan of the SEGA Genesis, SEGA Dreamcast, and SEGA Game Gear, Zach wanted to take this episode and relive his past experiences with S...
Never Ending Backlog: Race 07
October 20, 2020 00:00 - 12 minutes - 8.57 MBWelcome back to the Never Ending Backlog podcast! Today Zach is reviewing the 2007, racing simulator, Race 07, made by SimBin (now Sector3). Purchased many years ago and is one of the earlier entries in Zach's backlog, Race 07 was actually shelved as a result of purchasing Dirt Showdown and other more "simpler" racing games; but, this week Race 07 was dusted off and given the proper review it deserves! Brief Description from Steam: RACE 07 - The Official WTCC Game features the full FIA WTC...
Never Ending Backlog: Quake
October 16, 2020 22:00 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MBJumping back in time for this episode of the Never Ending Backlog! Today we are reviewing the First Person Shooter, Quake! There is no doubt that Zach had played Quake more than an hour in his past (in fact he has the shareware game on a few of his big box collectibles); however, it had less than an hour of playtime in his Steam account; therefore the review remains! Steam Description: Rage through 32 single player levels and 6 deathmatch levels of sheer terror and fully immersive sound and...
Never Ending Backlog: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2
October 15, 2020 22:00 - 10 minutes - 7 MBThe arcade geek inside Zach was stoked to see this next game in his hopper. From collecting arcade machines like Primal Rage, Street Fighter II Champion Edition, Time Crisis 3, etc., Zach has always had a deep interest in the 1980's, quarter arcades, and pretty much any 80's pop-rock song; from a-ha to Thompson Twins. So, rather than put this off any longer, join Zach on the Never Ending Backlog, as he reviews Bandai Namco's, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2! Brief Steam Store Description: ...
Never Ending Backlog: The Occupation
October 14, 2020 23:00 - 9 minutes - 6.53 MBJoin us as we review a newer addition to the backlog. Recently purchased alongside Iron Marines from Fanatical, join Zach as he reviews White Paper Games' and Humble Games' investigative first-person thriller, The Occupation. Steam Description: The Occupation is a fixed-time, investigative thriller set in North West England on Saturday 24th October, 1987. Not a lot to go on there. Essentially The Occupation is a first-person stealth-oriented game where you play as multiple characters livi...
Never Ending Backlog: Natural Selection 2
October 13, 2020 21:00 - 17 minutes - 12 MBWe are back with a new review, and this time it is the FPS/RTS combo, Natural Selection 2 by Unknown Worlds Entertainment, creators of Subnautica. That is right, in a routine that had seemed to be filled with point-and-click adventure games, we are able to jump into something different; and needless to say, it is welcomed. Brief Steam description: A fast paced multiplayer shooter that pits aliens against humans in a strategic and action-packed struggle for survival! Not the most descriptiv...
Never Ending Backlog: Machinarium
October 12, 2020 21:00 - 8 minutes - 5.77 MBWelcome back to the Never Ending Backlog podcast! Today Zach realized that he seems to only purchase point-and-click adventure games, even though he is not as interested in that genre. After looking through his backlog further, there are indeed dozens more that will need to be reviewed. With that being said, today we will be reviewing the Point-And-Click Adventure Tale, Machinarium, by Amanita Design. Steam Description: Machinarium is the award-winning independent adventure game developed b...
Never Ending Backlog: Kalaban
October 09, 2020 20:00 - 13 minutes - 9.28 MBWelcome to the next episode of the Never Ending Backlog! Today we will be reviewing the horror top-view shooting game, Kalaban. This was one of the most challenging games we have played to date. Not because it was a difficult game, but because of the consistent crashes, and persistent death (tune in to learn about that part). Overall, we knew this podcast idea was going to be challenging, and there would be days that it would be tough to remain positive; and Kalaban certainly proved that. N...
Never Ending Backlog: Labyrinthine Dreams
October 08, 2020 22:00 - 14 minutes - 10.3 MBToday's episode will be a little deeper than others (probably); and that's not an exaggeration, as today we are reviewing the indie title, Labyrinthine Dreams, by developer, Solest Games. Here's a brief description from Steam: Labyrinthine Dreams is a short puzzle game about Beth, a young woman who is standing at Death’s Door. After a traumatic childhood and a tough entry into the world of adulthood, she was just starting to take control of her life. However, she is now up against an insid...
Never Ending Backlog: Iron Marines
October 07, 2020 21:00 - 15 minutes - 11 MBJoin Zach as he reviews a recent backlog purchase, Iron Marines. If you are a fan of Starcraft Cartooned, Heroes of the Storm, Star Wars: Empire at War, or any of those games, then you will certainly enjoy this treat! Here's a brief Steam description: Real-time strategy battles in amazing sci-fi worlds! Command brave soldiers, mighty mechas and powerful aliens to face the greatest challenges in hostile alien worlds. The galaxy needs you! If that doesn't sound fun, then nothing does! So gr...
Never Ending Backlog: Jack Keane 2 - The Fire Within
October 06, 2020 22:00 - 12 minutes - 8.88 MBReady to go on an adventure with us as we explore uncharted lands in search of treasures?! No, we're not talking about Uncharted... not Tomb Raider, no, not even Strange Brigade (that's coming soon though). For today's episode of Never Ending Backlog, we will be reviewing the adventure point-and-click game, Jack Keane 2 - The Fire Within. Here's a brief description from the Steam: Jack Keane is back! And his newest adventure is even more fast-paced than ever before! Five years after his la...

Today Zach will be reviewing the FPS Survival European/Robot-themed, Generation Zero! Here's a brief description of Generation Zero: Welcome to 1980’s Sweden. The local population has disappeared, and hostile machines roam the streets. Explore the atmospheric open world as yo...
