Graham Sherry Guest Post: Neon Chrome Review
"Neon Chrome is a ruthless top-down cyberpunk shooter with rogue-like elements. The game takes place inside an arcology – a massive sci-fi mega structure. Blast your way through walls with guns and cybernetic abilities and try alternate approaches with different roles like the Assassin, Corporate Soldier or the Cyber Psycho.

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #21: Games Shouldn’t End on Cliffhangers
Recently, I was playing a game that I really loved. I got to the end and….it said the words To Be Continued. I couldn’t believe it. I felt really let down. And I have no idea if there is going to be a sequel. That’s the worst part. Today, I want to talk about games and cliffhanger endings. Here’s the truth about video games: you just never know how well a game will sell. What if you create a video…
