Sometimes you don't need overcomplicated graphics or intense engines to make a game enjoyable. Sometimes it only takes some good intentions and great execution. This is the very definition of Polar Panic.

Last month I completed a near final build of the PC version of 8monkey Labs' historical, time traveling FPS game, Darkest of Days. Players take the role of Alexander Morris, a soldier who is saved from imminent death by a time agent during Custard's Last Stand, also known as The Battle of the Little Bighorn. This action-centric FPS features a very cool and clever story, interesting characters, and an intriguing time travel premise.
