RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2 -EPISODE 1 REVIEW
I’ve been a fan of Resident Evil ever since its fourth iteration. Now, I know most will argue that RE4 isn’t the best in the series nor is it the scariest, but it really clicked with me, and it featured just the right amount of action, horror and puzzling to captivate me fully. A couple of years later, Resident Evil 5 was out and about, with most of the people disliking it. Not me though. Disregar...[Read More]
THE ADVENTURES OF PIP PREVIEW
No matter what you play, or what console you enjoy them on, games have almost solely been built from pixels. The pixels on your screen/monitor are all important, as they all band together to form a coherent image. And yet as important as they are, no one really seems to give them any credit. Certainly no one has focused a game on these unsung heroes. Until the Adventures of PIP, that is. Imagine, ...[Read More]

SHADOW OF MORDOR: BRIGHT LORD DLC REVIEW
The spear thrust is aimed perfectly, it smashes through my guard and rams home into my stomach before being savagely ripped out. The Warchief bellows in victory as he throws his spear at me only for it to get knocked aside. I am a blur of motion, almost invisible to the naked eye as I smash through the mob of Uruks that had penned me in as their commander launched his attack. The last Uruk is clai...[Read More]

Afterfall Reconquest Episode One Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Afterfall Reconquest Episode One Review   Three years ago, in 2011, a survival horror game with psychological themes was released. It was the Afterfall Insanity – a game which the critics weren’t particularly fond of, even though some gamers liked it very much. I was among them, too. It was a tale of a person going mad and causing horrendous amounts of damage to the people he cared about alo...[Read More]
HAND OF FATE REVIEW
Hand Of Fate from Australian developer Defiant Development is a tough game to put into any one genre, as it holds deck building elements of games like Magic The Gathering, and RPG elements and a combat style something like Shadow Of Mordor, which sounds complicated, but in fact is so well amalgamated it comes together beautifully. It is very much a game within a game as you are dealt cards while c...[Read More]
GRATUITOUS SPACE BATTLES 2 PREVIEW
How does one create a strategy game that doesn’t require you to multitask at six battlefields at once while trying not to fail your mission miserably? Well, one way to go about the given task is to remove the control from the player altogether, and focus instead on pre-battle strategizing and careful unit management. Gratuitous Space Battles was one such game, and was met with considerable success...[Read More]
