I Can’t Escape: Darkness Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I Can’t Escape: Darkness Review    Randomness is not an easy thing to pull off in games. How does one design a truly random system without the game in question devolving into an RNG-induced madness or a horrible grindfest where that 1% drop may well never spawn? Indeed, a component of true unpredictability may well make a game that much more interesting if handled properly, but it can also ru...[Read More]
Skyshine’s Bedlam Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Skyshine’s Bedlam Review    When I first saw Skyshine’s Bedlam at this year’s E3, I got to talk to John Mueller, Art Director on the project. Sitting down with the game, he told me of his team’s love of post-apocalyptic tales of survival, and their drive to bring it to the public. The idea originally started as a modified game of D&D, heavily inspired by properties like Judge Dredd,...[Read More]

Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime Review    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a new-ish Indie game on Steam and Xbox One by developers Asteroid Base, who are obviously going for a theme here.

AMD Restructures Company Architecture | MOUSE n JOYPAD
AMD Restructures Company Architecture To Improve Competition With Nvidia   Ever since 2006 when Advanced Micro Devices purchased ATI and joined in on the competition of the discrete desktop graphics processor unit (GPU) race, results have tended to be lopsided in favor for the more specifically graphics-focused Nvidia Corporation in terms of both shear raw power and lower...[Read More]

Colonies Online Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Colonies Online Preview    For a while now, we’ve been living in an age where video games are no longer a one-off purchase. MMORPG titles aside, about seven years ago it was normal to pay 40-60$ for a game, take it home and enjoy the investment for as long as you wanted to. With the dawn of the digital age, however, this all changed. Not only do prices fluctuate wildly now, but there’s al...[Read More]
Cross of the Dutchman Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Cross of the Dutchman Review    Cross of the Dutchman is a perplexing game. It is amazingly ambitious for an indie title, but is on the borderline of being too simplistic. It takes advantage of an amazing legend, but focuses entirely on his days as a farmer. It deals with heavy subject material, but everything come across very light. It’s not a bad game by any means, but it misses so many opp...[Read More]
