LA COPS REVIEW
“I’m too old for this shit”. It’s a simple enough phrase, but one that any movie fan will recognise. It’s right up there with “I have two days ‘till retirement” and it’s the thought that was running through my mind as I played Team 17’s new title: LA Cops. LA Cops is a strange game, I can’t figure out if the developers were deliberately making fun of the cop genre, if they were trying to honour it...[Read More]
A PIXEL STORY REVIEW
A Pixel Story kept me smiling and thinking about it long after I had settled down my controller. Originally developed for the Dare to be Digital initiative by the University of Abertay, the video game developmental competition got Lamplight Studio’s debut game awarded by BAFTA as “one to watch” and it was more than deserved. The Manchester based studio has a gem in its hands and with this first ga...[Read More]
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas Review  Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas is a revamped version of original iPad and iPhone release. After gaining tons of positive reviews the developers Cornfox & Bros. decided to take the game to the next level by releasing it on PC.

LOOKING BACK ON SEGA’S HISTORY TO FIND THEIR FUTURE
It’s been over a month since Sega revealed to its shareholders that they were going to be restructuring after a dismal year in 2014. With the profit projection being over two hundred million less than the previous year and coming in at a paltry $34 million, Sega has proposed axing 300 jobs by closing its San Francisco office and moving to strictly mobile and PC games. Sega has always been known as...[Read More]
Mortal Kombat X Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Mortal Kombat X Preview   A few days ago I was lucky enough to get some time playing Mortal Kombat X and have a chat with Hans Lo, Senior Producer at Netherealm Studios for Mortal Kombat X. As some of you may know the Mortal Kombat series of games started way back in 1992 when it made its first appearance thanks to Midway Games. Midway Games sadly went into bankruptcy in 2011 when Warner steppe...[Read More]
Homeworld Remastered Collection Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Homeworld Remastered Collection Review   There are a lot of games that I fondly remember from my childhood, from the brutality of Mortal Kombat to the stealthy antics and engrossing (if somewhat confusing) plot of Metal Gear Solid, there are very few that I hold in such high esteem as the first true RTS that I ever played. Homeworld was released back in 1999 and while I was absolutely terrible a...[Read More]
The Dark Stone from Mebara Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Dark Stone from Mebara Review   Roleplaying games have been a part of my life ever since I started gaming. Titles such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest really turned my head around so as to appreciate the art style, unique gameplay, character development, and creative storytelling. I was intrigued upon receiving a copy of The Dark Stone from Mebara because it mixes detective elements with RP...[Read More]

Resident Evil Revelations 2 – Episode 2 Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Resident Evil Revelations 2 Episode 2 Review  Revelations 2 is good, that much is obvious. It takes everything that was great in the previous Resident Evil installments, mixes it up and makes you care about the whole experience. In Episode 2, our adventure with Claire, Moira, Natalia and Barry continues at a more frantic pace all the while staying true to what makes it a good RE game. Yes,...[Read More]
