Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 For me, Black Ops has always been the superior installments in the Call of Duty series. While Infinity Ward is the original and debatably more celebrated of the franchise’s switch-hitting studios, I’ve always found Treyarch to have more reckless abandon with their choices. They deal in weird pseudo-science and espionage inspired storylines, which makes me feel like I’m playing less ...[Read More]
“Battle of Shadow and Light” Update for Halo 5 | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The release of free, post-launch content for Halo 5: Guardians begins this month with the first drop: Battle of Shadow and Light, which includes the stealthy new “Shinobi†Ninja-themed armor, some legendary Light Rifle firepower and the arrival of Big Team Battle maps, modes and mayhem. There are tonnes of new items added to and unlocked in this month’s drop, including all-...[Read More]
Gladiators Online: Death Before Dishonor Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Maybe it’s because I used to have a small crush on Roman History, and seeing Latin names used correctly rekindled that love slightly. Maybe it’s because this game billed itself as “recreating the thrills and adrenaline experienced by Rome’s most talented warriors.†All I know for sure at this point is that I went in excited, and came out with a rather sour taste in my mouth. &nb...[Read More]

In this day and age, there’s simply an astronomical amount of new games hitting the market, with promotional videos released daily.

How to Survive 2 Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Friends, loved ones, gather around the website for a comprehensive tale of my time with a game perhaps all too familiar to many. When I was given the opportunity to take the new EKO Software game How To Survive 2 for a preview spin, I made sure I acquainted myself with the previous installment. For those as unfamiliar as I was, How to Survive is a top-down, survival-based zombie apocalyps...[Read More]
Infectonator: Survivors Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 I’ve had some limited experience with Infectonator up until now, mainly on Android. The premise is similar to that of Plague.inc, in that the player has to infect as many healthy humans as possible, effectively killing them. This is where the two games (partially) diverge though, as Infectonator dead’uns turn into zombies who, in turn, kill and infect even more people. As a crazed sci...[Read More]
Battleborn Will Have Skill-Based Multiplayer | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Battleborn Will Have Skill-Based Multiplayer  You know what all gearbox software games have in common? They make you shoot stuff in the face, and no matter who you are or what your personal preference is you will enjoy the feeling you get with a shotgun that fires grenades and blows an enemy to tiny pieces. You will giggle like a schoolgirl. On that note I bring you Battleborn. Battle...[Read More]

NOCT Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
NOCT Preview  -The last survivor I tried to help didn’t make it. I need you to loot the carcass. -That’s fucked up. -Don’t make this any wierder than it already is. Noct is a very, very distinctly grim experience. Interestingly similar to Limbo in that regard, the game places us in the boots of, essentially, two characters at the same time. The above discourse is one of the several that pla...[Read More]
