FULL BORE REVIEW
Iāll have to admit that I had some hardships playing Full Bore at first. It takes time to unwind itself, and itās up to the player to maintain momentum via puzzle solving until interesting stuff starts happening, but once it did, there was no puzzle complicated enough for me to give up playing. This is a game with many layers, and one has to understand what he/sheās getting into before starting it...[Read More]
Elder Scrolls Online Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Elder Scrolls Online Review Ć Ć ItĆ¢€™s hard not to be extremely cynical when an old, beloved franchise announces that theyĆ¢€™re releasing an MMO. I rarely hear any demand for such a thing; no Conan fans suddenly felt the need for an MMO and fans of Knights of the Old Republic would (still) rather see a third entry in the series. That hasnĆ¢€™t stopped Bethesda from spending the last 7 years looking...[Read More]

Canyon Capers Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Canyon Capers Review Ć Ć During the past few years, with the surge of the Indie game, we have seen a great many platform games come ontoĆĀ the market.

The Zone Diaries Episode 1 | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Episode 1 Customer Support As you will surely notice when you start reading this text, it differs from what I described in the intro last week. After a couple of rewrites I decided to ditch the original idea because it didn’t work as expected. Describing firefights gets really stale really fast, however unbeliveable that might sound. Besides, this will ...[Read More]

Wargame Red Dragon Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Wargame Red Dragon Review Ć In recent years, there has been a serious lack of good strategy games for us to sink our teeth into. It seems as if the genre is being overlooked in spite of its rich history and pedigree, giving place to mindless shooters that simply sell more. ThatĆ¢€™s not to say that there arenĆ¢€™t any good strategies, of course. ThereĆ¢€™s Total War, Company of Heroes, Warhammer and ...[Read More]
