For this, the season to be jolly, I have decided to bring you a more upbeat game than the usual slaughter-fests I usually frequent. In this all new Mouse’N’Joypad “Let’s Play†join me as I play one of the mo...[Read More]
PIER SOLAR AND THE GREAT ARCHITECTS REVIEW
After downloading Pier Solar and starting it up, I immediately got a sense of the journey that I was about to embark on. Many of us gamers who grew up in the late 80’s and early 90’s have travelled and adventured through these types of RPG’s time and time again with games like The Legend of Zelda and Chrono Trigger. Watermelon Games is well aware of this and hits you in the face with nostalgia rig...[Read More]
Scott’s Game of the Year Nomination
2014 has been an interesting year for the gaming community but it has lacked any standout winner in terms of actual games. There have been a lot of “Good” games but not many “Great” ones so it has made the choice for game of the year a harder one than I would have expected if you had asked me in January. My nomination for the Mouse’N’Joypad Game of The Year 2014 award is: Alien Isolation. The game...[Read More]
STRIFE VETERAN EDITION REVIEW
Remember “ye olde” shooter? You know, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and the like? No? Well, neither do I. I was far too young and preoccupied playing Tekken 3 and Rayman and the like. And besides, by the time I was gaming, the PlayStation had already come out, displaying full 3D graphics. So when it was time to start shooting some enemies in glorious first person, I was already spoilt for choice. In 3D. No...[Read More]
#IDARB Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
#IDARB Preview  #IDARB started as a single tweet by lead director Mike Mika of Other Ocean Interactive when he posted alongside an image of a red box, “Where to go with this? I’ve started a new project, it draws a red box. Thinking platformer.†And thus #IDARB was spawned, with the acronym of course standing for ‘it draws a red box’. After many inceptions, the game became an 8-player ar...[Read More]

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review  Few games have ever resonated with me as well as the Metal Gear Solid titles have. Granted, I played only the original MGS and its immediate successor, while only dabbling in MGS4 on my friend’s PS3, but the lore, the characters, the overall atmosphere of this legendary universe is unique, and has intrigued me ever since taking control over Snake for th...[Read More]

Flyhunter Origins Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Flyhunter Origins Review   A word on Despicable Me’s Minions. Enough. That is all. I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely sick to death with these stumpy yellow creatures. Yes, they were funny at first, with their broken Spanish, strange eyes and their obsession with bananas, but I feel they’ve overstayed their welcome. Evidently the majority of people don’t agree, as they’re ver...[Read More]

Blackguards 2 Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Blackguards 2 Preview   Let me begin this preview by saying that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the way Blackguards 2 handles the lore its predecessor set up. The protagonist, Cassia, gets trapped in a dungeon (with her kitten killed brutally) and we, the players, then take control over her in her quest to rule the kingdom, if only for a day. The randomness of this thought is presented in a...[Read More]
