The second episode of Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller is now available to all at a price of $9.99 if you haven't purchased the $29.99 season pass. It is then time for a short review of The Wise Monkey and a bunch of videos, so please join us inside and give us your thoughts about the game. In case you haven't played – or completed - The Hangman, we decided not to capture the "Previously on" cutscene which opens this new episode, but be aware that the first video contains story related spoilers.

Finally, after months of intensive work, we are going to be given the gift of time. December will indeed be a welcome break for us here. In November, you got your share of review and videos as usual, but as the big 2012 released are all out now, the weeks to come should be rather quiet. Don't worry though, since a few games slipped through our fingers lately, like Assassin's Creed Liberation and LEGO Lords of the Rings for example, we will try to catch up on the footage we haven't been able to deliver. What's more, we will let you have another look at Project CARS so you can see if some progress has been made since last time. The holiday season is now upon us, Gamersyde is still up and running, so let's just hope the end of the world will not show itself in three weeks so we can continue next year.

Because some genres aren't as trendy as they used to, because not every game out there is AAA and because the indie scene is quite active we’ve decided to talk about Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller. The first episode of this point and click has just been released (with three more to come from this first season) and it could vey well hold your attention with its particularly good atmosphere. Much like Telltale and their Walking Dead game, the developers of Phoenix Online Studios present an interesting story delivered in episodic form. To find out what we think about the first part of Erica Reed's adventures, you know what to do.
