Review | UmiharaKawase Shun Steam Edition
UmiharaKawase Shun is a SNES styled game which is, simply, about a girl with a fishing rod which can be used as a grappling hook, and also to battle, or avoid, gigantic, floaty land-fish before the timers out.
Review | Dungelot: Shattered Lands
Cast your mind back to the years of Windows 98. Remember the game, Minesweeper? Merge that game with a dungeon crawler game. Now imagine if they had got busy and had a kid… struggling? No worries, because Dungelot: Shattered Lands will show…
Review | Blood Alloy: Reborn
Blood Alloy: Reborn is a game that doesn’t give you enough time for a break to have a breather. It’s a game with flying space flies, and a game with a constant stream of death. Sounds like a hella load of fun to me!
Review | Deathsmiles
Deathsmiles is a game that pretty much redefines the shoot-em-up genre, at least in terms of difficulty. It’s one of the most outgoing, and mystifying Shmup’s I’ve laid my eyes on. There no time to blink, the Game Over screen features a…
Review | The Flame in the Flood
The Flame in the Flood may be another survival game, but it offers a more artistic approach, a different perspective, and a beautiful soundtrack, the river is a tough ride, but the survival elements are well thought out.
Review | Blackwell 1: Legacy
Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved those pixellated, point-and-click adventure games, such as “Simon The Sorcerer” or “Monkey Island”. Hours of fun would be spent trying to solve riddles, or puzzles; so it’s a surprise to me that I’ve…
Review | Blackwell 2: Unbound
So here it is, the second instalment of the series, Blackwell 2: Unbound, and I’m wiggling my fingers in anticipation to have a good follow up game running on my iPhone. The last episode was good, a touch short, but it was good.…
Review | Blackwell 3: Convergence
The previous two games have been fantastic, with improvements being made to both gameplay and graphics, and with both of these improvements actually making the game better rather than worsening it, it’s a delight to play.
Review | Blackwell 4: Deception
In the reviews of the previous entries in the series I’ve almost always opened with comments on how the art style has updated, Blackwell: Deception is the first game where it is simply refined, rather than leapt forward.
Review | Blackwell 5: Epiphany
And so it is here, Blackwell 5: Epiphany.
Review | Way of the Samurai 3 (PC)
Way of the Samurai 3 is a surprisingly big game, with a ton of options to build your Samurai's personality among the in-game AI. Way of the Samurai 3 is the third part to a four part series of which, the adventure began back in 2002 when…
Review | Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! Part 3
A story fresh from the plains, or a journey continued from the past, Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! Part 3 puts you back on the board paving your story once again.
Review | Spacejacked
“Oh look another endless turret game” I think to myself as I jump into the first level. I wonder how many times I can kill the one, same enemy and not get bored. I put the game on just after I had put my dinner into the oven, with a few…
Review | Bezier
Imagine you put several tins of paint, some evil advanced AI and the hottest mix tape of the century all into a blender and turn that up to 11 while the lid is off.
Review | Stories: The Path of Destinies
Delve into the life of our quirky, silver-tongued, not-so-cunning, furry friend Reynardo the Fox, as he fights for the rebellion against the evil Emperor and his evil doings. Along the way Reynardo will be hit with a string of critical…
Review | Super Intergalactic Gang
Super Intergalactic Gang is a colourful, pixelated shoot-em-up for fans of arcade classics such as Defender and R-Type. It encourages tense, dramatic gameplay with abilities allowing you to slow down time, or even give a sharp, melee thwak…
Review | Hyper Light Drifter
A character holds an item of great value, and he must protect it, but he is ridden with an illness that he must find a cure for. It's a game with SNES styled graphics, breathtaking music, and a story you need to follow.
Review | Toby: The Secret Mine
Toby is a little villager who has grown tired of his other fellow villagers being kidnapped. Toby decides to do something about it. Toby goes on an adventure to save them all. Toby is good. Be like Toby.
Review | Void 21
Void 21 is a story about the time you were a junior pilot checking out different ship combinations - and you actually spent more time crashing into things while swearing loudly about windmills and levitating cubes.
Review | Catlateral Damage
Everyone should love cats. Cats are awesome. Furry little creatures that sleep in the sun's rays most of the day, brush their head against you to show you they care, and blink slowly at you with love.
