FEATURED REVIEW

January may be a slow month for games, but the blessing in disguise here means that certain games get the chance to stand out. This week, Kevin VanOrd reviewed The Banner Saga, a tale about a caravan of men and giants crossing a bleak, frozen land. Kevin praised the games art and music as well as the job that it did portraying the harsh and frigid wilderness.

But while The Banner Saga is a beautiful game filled with interesting ideas, Kevin still had a few words of caution for the aspiring warrior. Want to learn more about Kevin’s thoughts regarding The Banner Saga? Come by his review for the game today at 11:00am PST, he will be there ready and willing to answer your questions.

If this sounds like the game for you, you can buy it on Steam for 24.99, or you can throw down a little bit extra to get the deluxe edition which comes with the soundtrack.
