THE LAST INUA REVIEW
Do Ports ever truly work? There is evidence to suggest that in some cases PC ports of games that have been released elsewhere are just as good, if not better, than their counterparts. Sadly this isn’t the case of Glowforth’s Action/Puzzle platformer “Last Inua”. This title was originally launched for tablet devices and has recently received the Port treatment for PC and Mac users, but I don’t thin...[Read More]

Dying Light Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dying Light Preview  My first thoughts upon seeing Dying Light were something along the lines of disgruntled noises marking my discontent with the fact that we have another Dead Island spin-off incoming. Then I saw the parkour and all the next-gennyness, but it didn’t spark much interest in me. Finally, a couple of months later I landed a preview copy and my mind was immediately blown. First of...[Read More]
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Review  Chivalry: Medieval Warfare looks about as good as I expected an indie PC port to Xbox 360. The developers focused on maintaining a high resolution, and they didn’t adjust the Field of View of their game to fit televisions. Halo effects pop up around everything when you move. The lines within the training module are unintentionally funny. They are neither parti...[Read More]
Boom Ball Review
Boom Ball releases today on Xbox One for Kinect here in the UK. This game is being brought to us by the Virtual Air Guitar Company, the same guys that brought us Kung-Fu High Impact on the Xbox 360 a while back. I played Kung-Fu and found it immensely entertaining watching myself on screen kicking the virtual crap out of waves of enemies. Anyway back to the task at hand. Boom Ball takes the classi...[Read More]
Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf HD Remastered Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf HD Remastered Review  If I had to sum up Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf HD Remastered  in one word, it would be great. The story? Great. The graphics? Great. All the elements needed to make a game enjoyable to play are definitely here, and are all pretty much solid. The story follows the Lone Wolf, a perpetually single warrior who (stop me if you’ve heard this before) is “...[Read More]
RABBIDS INVASION REVIEW
Welcome to the wonderfully wacky world of Rabbids Invasion The Interactive TV Show, a game from Ubisoft that is trying to bring two forms of media together, Television and Gaming. Games like this have improved vastly thanks to the power and performance of the new Kinect on the Xbox One. Rabbids Invasion appeared on Nickelodeon in 2013 for its first series in conjunction with Ubisoft Motion Picture...[Read More]
THOMAS WAS ALONE REVIEW
Thomas Was Alone is the most adorable game I have played this year. It’s also been around for a little while. First making an appearance as a flash game in 2010, developer Mike Bithell took the concept to adorable new heights on PC and Mac in 2012. Thomas Was Alone has been out long enough that I should have played it by now, especially with my affinity for artsy and adorable indie games but I had...[Read More]
The Dilemma Behind Buying Re-Releases
It’s only natural for people to want to extract as much value as they can out of their work. We all do it in one way or another, but as far as gaming scene goes – milking is something we all dread. However, we’ve been put up with it for quite a while now. Franchises that should have been left alone have withered and fallen into obscurity when developers/publishers decided that the brand needs to b...[Read More]
