Flow Point Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Mobile phones are everything but, these days. We get to use them for GPS, web browsing, social media and, perhaps most crucially out of all multimedia, playing video games. It’s natural, then, that the demand for something which works perfectly on a touch display is ever-present, and that many developers make it their task to come up with a game that would tap into that potential goldmi...[Read More]

Tactical Soccer: The New Season | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 I love turn-based strategy games, so the prospect of a tactical soccer game sounded amazing to me. A strategic football game where you control every player in momentary increments. The game’s premise is pretty easy to grasp, especially if you’re a football fan, but being American I only know enough to play a few rounds of FIFA with friends. My strategy usually falls to taking th...[Read More]

Life is Feudal: Your Own | MOUSE n JOYPAD
How difficult can naming your game be, really? After all the work you’ve invested in the damned thing, all the hours you’ve lost getting tangled up in the code, with bugs popping up left and right… surely, coming up with a title for your project is a trivial matter in comparison. Alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case, as far as Bitbox Games are concerned at the very least. Here I a...[Read More]
The Rivers of Alice Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I’m the target audience for The Rivers of Alice- I’m a huge fan of point and click adventures, puzzle games, and indie art titles. I came into this game expecting a richer, more PC-oriented experience based on a game that was lauded by pocket gamers. Sadly, this extended version just simply isn’t ready for prime time and became tedious through the few hours of gameplay it does offer. ...[Read More]
Did Steam Pull ‘Yohjo Simulator’ Because Of Pedophilia? | MOUSE n JOYPAD
When Yohjo Simulator was released, many on YouTube and Steam saw it as just another Goat Simulator, selling a wonky physics engine with outlandish visuals. Some took issue with a young girl in pigtails running around mostly naked men while slamming her face into their pelvic region. Most of this was chalked up to it’s overly bizarre and japanese aesthetics; and also provided a pass on the ...[Read More]
Mordheim: City of the Damned Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 For many players of the tabletop Warhammer Fantasy game Mordheim, the mystery of what happened once the mysterious twin-tailed comet fell remained mostly unresolved, annoyingly so. Even though the city popped up on an ocassional map or two, little was known of what exactly remained of the once-illustrious town of Mordheim. At long last, Mordheim: City of the Damned resolves that curiosity...[Read More]
THEA: THE AWAKENING REVIEW
Strategy games hold a special nostalgic tie to me and my upbringing. From playing chess with my father to my introduction to the Command and Conquer series, I’ve always had a hard time turning away from 4x/RTS style games. It’s something about the satisfaction you receive from executing a brilliant strategy, mixed with the sheer awesomeness of playing a form of deity that stares down upon the batt...[Read More]
Adventure Island and Joe & Mac Fans Will Love Dinocide | MOUSE n JOYPAD
If you’re like me, you love the old school NES days. Who doesn’t enjoy 8-bit platformers where you walk right and destroy anything that comes into your path- that era just had a wonderfully delightful way of taking bizarre ideas and making them possible. Dinocide is no different, only it’s coming out nearly 30 years later than you’d think. Developed by Atomic Torch, who previously worked o...[Read More]
