"Patty Griffin" is a gentle commentary on the state of the world with confident vocals and humble instrumentals. Patty Griffin has been battling cancer and this album is a powerful return to the music scene for her.

Review: “Patty Griffin” is sensitive and worldly

By Arleigh Rodgers March 19, 2019

"Exocraft" feel nostalgic of old 80s sci-fi titles, but does not provide a real challenge for players. The game drones on with a repetitive map and quests, and does nothing to keep players hooked on it.

Review: “Exocraft” is extraordinarily generic

By Alex Hartzog March 18, 2019

Resource management games can be charming to some, but Goldfire Studios’ “Exocraft” is an uninspired knockoff of many other sci-fi games. “Exocraft” blends the space sci-fi aesthetics of games...
