CALVINO NOIR REVIEW

Mystery is one of those genres I don’t think any studio has gotten right when it comes to modern video games. Probably the closest example to an entry doing it correctly is La Noire and Ghost Trick.

These games, despite not having any graphics, did mystery and discovery right, rely...[Read More]

DiscStorm Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

DiscStorm Review   When I first laid my eyes on it, DiscStorm looked amazing. A battle arena game, where me and my friends can throw deadly frisbees at one another? Sign me up. The rocking music and 90’s visuals made me feel like I was stepping into something great. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t do much to keep you in the door. I found myself yawning, as the game slowly started to reveal h...[Read More]
