Both puzzle and management sim, Big Pharma is a tough pill to swallow on console
Even though I haven’t played it, I’d imagine that the PC version of Big Pharma might be quite an interesting prospect. Four or five hours of console experience has certainly whet my appetite, but despite the interesting prospect, iffy…
3000th Duel delivers on fun while making you die a million times.
Developer NeoPopcorn’s new game, 3000th Duel, is here to force me to remember my childhood, a time in my life that was defined by ignoring what I was already, ironically, aware of while running around with a cardboard tube in one hand and a…
An Hour in Cardpocalypse is enough to rekindle an entire 90’s childhood
Even though I haven’t completed Cardpocalypse, I’ve spent enough time with it to get a good sense of how steeped in nostalgia it is. Not only does this card battler literally riff on Pokemon as its inspiration, it also nods to just about…
Upbeat adventure Journey to the Savage Planet is a bright delight
The graphics are bright and friendly. Other than base environmental items like rock and grass, it’s all very alien and unique giving you a great sense of discovery as you turn a corner to find another new plant or animal.

Puzzle & Dragons Gold — A Puzzling Effort
A series already well established on Nintendo’s 3DS, Apple iOS and Android mobile, Puzzle & Dragon Gold takes team vs team combat and mixes it with match-three mechanics to form hybrid puzzle battler.
Sparklite — The Legend of Zelda inspired Rogue-lite !
Sparklite has a great premise, some great pixel graphics and a soundtrack that didn’t make me want to throw the controller at the TV after the 10th run but it ultimately doesn’t take all the ingredients it has on offer to make an astounding…
Children of Zodiarcs — A rich tactical experience with plenty of heart to spare
Children of Zodiarcs is a turn-based, strategic JRPG in which the player must manage a hand of cards and a fistful of dice for each character they control, blending the worlds of video and traditional board gaming.
AVICII Invector — Musical spaceships
At its most basic AVICII Invector is like a cross between Guitar Hero and Amplitude, with you moving your ship left and right on a track to line up with a button that you then press in time to the music. Then there are sections that are…
