BattleBlock Theater Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
BattleBlock Theater Review à à Here we are. A bit late to the party, but we got there nevertheless. Behemoth’s overachieving platformer has finally reached Steam, and has a couple of cool new tricks up its sleeve. If you’re like me, and you pretended that the game didn’t exist ’till its PC release either (we all hate spoilers), then this is new and wonderful to you, too. And I gotta say, t...[Read More]
Kick Ass 2 Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Kick Ass 2 Review Ă Ă Games that are basedĂÂ on big blockbuster movies have a reputationĂÂ of disappointing their audiences in a number ofĂÂ ways. Most of the time the original franchise rushes a development team to complete a project, often leaving the title unfinished and comprised ofĂÂ immersion breaking bugs. This is an attempt toĂÂ exploit the current popularity and fan base surrounding a film by ...[Read More]
TICKLES TOP 10 CASH COW âCONSâ
If youâre anything like me when you go into a store to buy a game you will probably utter the same curse as I do. Games are expensive and while a lot of games will give you adequate returns on your investment there are some that will try bleed you dry. This is a list of my top ten Cash-cow âconsâ in the gaming industry. No. 10 Limited Editions Ok so before anyone misunderstands, Iâm not tal...[Read More]
The Last Door Collectors Edition Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Last Door Collectors Edition Review Ă Ă What makes up true horror? Is it blood, monsters, quick scares? Or maybe something entirely different? Indeed, The Last Door has gallons of blood splattered throughout the storyline, but it never relies upon it to scare the player. There are finer ways to do this, and this little adventure manages to hit all the right buttons as the story progresses. One...[Read More]
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition Review Ă Ă It has happened. The fabled Dynasty Warriors series has finally reached Steam and sits happily at the Top Sellers page for quiteĂÂ a while now. No wonder, since it has garnered a fanatic following (that may or may not include yours truly) since its reimaginingĂÂ back when DW3ĂÂ was introduced. It has a very specific story, characters and ...[Read More]
SUPER TIME FORCE REVIEW
Super Time Force gives you a brief, paradox filled, introduction at the beginning of the game, after which the amazing sense of humour of the title makes itself known through the Tutorial. I was chuckling away through most of the game, while it doesnât have elegant, clever or sophisticated jokes the tone of it really appealed to my immature sense of humour. Even the character names have been made ...[Read More]
The Walking Dead: In Harm’s Way Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Walking Dead: In Harm’s Way Review Ă Season 2, Episode 3 Ă Ă We have arrived at the mid pointĂ in season 2 of The Walking Dead, with ‘In Harm’s Way’. This episode is possibly on of the shortest in the series so far, running at around 90 minutes in total. I found it a small breath of fresh air, and a welcome addition considering the amount of times you get pushed and pulled through the ...[Read More]
I Shall Remain Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I Shall Remain – Preview Ă Ă Update It is worth taking note of the developers comments below, as they have pointed out that they are aware of the issues, and are working on them. Ă In the last couple of years, the zombie survival genre has taken over the place of the most saturated sub-genre currentlyĂ on market. The throne that was held by the modern shooter games up to that point. By now, weâ€...[Read More]
I SHALL REMAIN PREVIEW
In the last couple of years, the zombie survival genre has taken over the place of the most saturated sub-genre currently on market. The throne that was held by the modern shooter games up to that point. By now, weâve gotten the likes of DayZ, Dead Island, State Of Decay and many, many more. Not to mention all the clones that popped up on Steam after the âoriginalâ games did. Now, Iâm not the one ...[Read More]
We Check Out TANKI ONLINE | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Developer Q&A Session and the future of Tanki Online Ă Ă If I were to mention the title ‘Tanki Online,’ the chances of somebody recognizing or displaying knowledge of the game, outside of major fan bases located inĂ Eastern Europe will be fairly slim. The current version boasts an impressive number of registered players, rising over forty two million, yet the uptake in countries like the U...[Read More]
NUTJITSU REVIEW
Nutjitsu puts you in the furry shoes of a ninja squirrel, your goal throughout the game is to gather acorns and avoid guards to score points. In practice this is more like a fan made version of Pacman, only without the personality. At the start of each mission you will be tasked with either gathering a specific colour of acorn, a certain amount of them or to spend a predetermined amount of time in...[Read More]
MEN OF WAR: ASSAULT SQUAD 2 REVIEW
Letâs get one thing straight right at the beginning. Assault Squad 2 is NOT Men Of War 2 and you should not expect it to be. The developers have made it clear that this game does more of the same, with some additions and improvements added to the formula. That being said, itâs easy to see why this type of gameplay was deemed worthy of an update. As is the tradition of the franchise, Assault Squad ...[Read More]
