Mad Games Tycoon is like Game Dev Story but for grown-ups, so how well will it live up to the more immediate demands of a targeted console audience?  Personally, I love an economic management simulator, and to be honest, the more depth the…

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels comes at the turn-based tactical squad shooter genre with a few interesting ideas and a disappointing lack of depth and polish.

From a literal walk in the park to delivering some of the most frightening experiences in video games, the humble walking simulator has demonstrated its longevity to become much more than a niche genre. Close to the Sun, from Italian…

Quoth the video game critic: Nevermore. Ghost Parade is an undoubtedly beautiful game with compelling characters, story, and setting. Unfortunately, this game about spirits is haunted by some pretty underwhelming controls. Something is…

Dr. Ludos is a game developer with a deep love and respect for all things retro and likes to make games for systems that are well past their sell-by date, so for me, he is an awesome dude. I have already looked at one of his games here on…

If you know You Don’t Know Jack then this is more You Don’t Know Jack, you know? If you don’t know You Don’t Know Jack then I’ll help you know You Don’t Know Jack.

Wailing and flagellating with your tongue

Chaos tavern, another PAX AUS highlight has you and a group of friends run a magical tavern

A giant, two-towered mansion stands on an island in a lake, a mansion, for some reason, called Tangle Tower. And inside, a body.

The call of Cthulhu is a hard one to resist, at least it is for me. When I see anything that resembles the Lovecraftian mythos I’m immediately interested in it. Whether or not I like it depends on the product of course, but when I say…

Welcome to Cybermonk. Power up your religion and fight against the heathens by sending terrifying lasers of death into your portal, charging up your religion to win. Playing Cybermonk at PAX AUS was great fun. Running around the small map,…
