The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter Review My first playing session of this game had me going “wow†all the time. The amount of details on everything was astounding – the textures were rich, forests felt alive and colours amazingly vivid. I knew this game was special right from the start, but in what manner – that was still a mystery to me. So I kept playing, astounded by the masterfully...[Read More]
Warmachine Tactics Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Warmachine Tactics Preview  Warmachine Tactics is Privateer Press’s foray into electronic gaming. They have taken one of Privateer Press’s most popular tabletop games, and translated the core gameplay on to PC with a fair amount of success. By translating core gameplay I don’t mean bringing the tabletop game in its exact form onto a virtual board. There are simply a different set of...[Read More]

The Last Tinker Cancelled for Xbox One   Earlier this year Minime Productions, the developer and publisher of The Last Tinker: City of Color released their game on PC. Minime have announced, last week on Twitter, that the Xbox One version of the game has ceased production. The announcement came on the back of a fan’s enquiry on the progress...[Read More]
Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris Preview  Recently I was able to spend some time with Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris, the follow-up title to Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light. When any press attends these sorts of events to play a demo build for an up-coming title such as this, it is definitely a tense time for developers and publishers alike. When I sat down to...[Read More]
Stronghold Crusader 2 Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Stronghold Crusader 2 Review    Ah, Stronghold Crusader. How many hours have I wasted just building amazing (messy), sprawling (overcrowded) cities (junkyards) just to have them razed by a rat-like bastard warlord. It was a masterfully realised game that handled its quirks nicely while delivering an amazing gameplay basis. Both in single player AND multiplayer, and you could play the bugger on...[Read More]
LARA CROFT AND THE TEMPLE OF OSIRIS PREVIEW
Recently I was able to spend some time with Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris, the follow-up title to Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light. When any press attends these sorts of events to play a demo build for an up-coming title such as this, it is definitely a tense time for developers and publishers alike. When I sat down to play the demo I was immediately informed by a Square Enix representat...[Read More]
Shadow Of Mordor Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Shadow Of Mordor Review Let me begin this review with the following: I do not care about the Lord of the Rings saga. I haven’t watched the films or played any of the games previously. Therefore I don’t care about how this game will affect the lore of the series, whether they’ve added characters or whatever. It’s a game. It’s there to be fun. That being said, Shadow Of Mordor is...[Read More]
Mortal Kombat X – Meet Quan Chi | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Mortal Kombat X – Meet Quan Chi   If it has escaped anyone’s notice there is a new Mortal Kombat game heading our way. Mortal Kombat X or MKX is scheduled for release in April 2015 and over the last couple of months we have seen gameplay from the heavy hitting giant that is MKX. Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment have released a new trailer introducing us to a new character: Quan ...[Read More]

Guilty Gear X2 Reload Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Guilty Gear X2 Reload Review  Before we begin, if you are considering buying this title first make sure you have a PC compatible controller or joystick. This game does not play particularly well without one. I liked Guilty Gear X2 Reload a lot less than I thought I would. As a fan of Street Fighter, Blazblue, and Marvel Vs. Capcom, I thought I would certainly find something about Arc Syste...[Read More]
