Stone Tales Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I’ve been reviewing games for about four months now here at Mouse N Joypad. I have played some really good games and some really bad ones. I assume most of the people reading this prefer playing good games as opposed to bad games, and I can concur with those sentiments. As a reviewer though there is a certain dynamic I have with the more publicly maligned latter category of video games. ...[Read More]
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Harkening back to an era in which first-person shooters weren’t even referred to as such, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is a remake that’s true to the original in every way that matters. This is, then going to be a review of the original just as much as it’s going to be a review of the remake, and I have to warn you right away that the game doesn’t fare all that good compared to its spirit...[Read More]
Black Desert Online Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 I rarely get wrapped up in MMORPGs, and I’ve only dabbled in the major IPs, but Black Desert had me rethinking my decision. I mean, Fallout 4 is taking up a lot of my time recently, and I don’t see how it’s any different than those dreaded ‘time-drains’ like World of Warcraft or Star Wars Galaxies. I think my biggest hurdle is that these AAA titles usually get mediocre review scores, a...[Read More]
Warhammer 40K Eternal Crusade Alpha Gameplay | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Warhammer fans have the chance to rejoice this festive period, after a long time without much information, Behaviour Interactive have released a brand new trailer for their upcoming MMO slaughterfest: Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade. For long-time fans of the Warhammer brand this can only come as good news. Following the cancellation of the previous MMO that died when THQ went bust a few years a...[Read More]
GALE’S GAME OF THE YEAR NOMINATION
As far as I’m concerned, The Witcher 3 more than delivers everything required for it to become a game of the year. Not only does the title improve on virtually every area its predecessors had already iterated upon, but it also sweeps the floor with its competition in most regards. It’s a devastatingly huge and sprawling RPG world in which it’s so easy to get lost in for over a hundred hours it’s n...[Read More]
GAMERS VS. CENSORS
Despite being the principal consumers in a global market worth $83.6billion as of 2014, the value of which is expected to increase to $113billion by 2020, gamers are relatively powerless when it comes to shaping policy or politics. People know about us but the Chancellor is highly unlikely to consider PSN customers in his next budget and it would surprise me if the guys at Valve had a direct line ...[Read More]
JORDAN’S GAME OF THE YEAR NOMINATION
I don’t think it would be a bold statement to suggest that 2015 was a great year for video games. No matter what console you owned, there was a bit of something for everyone. Hell, even Wii U got a handful of games that might now solidify spending the money to buy the console. Though, I’m going to go on a bit of whim here and say that 2015 saw the best conglomerate of releases since probably 2010 ...[Read More]

Rainbow Six Siege Friend Referral Program | MOUSE n JOYPAD
How much do you hate your friends? Do you sometimes feel like shooting them in the face, but can’t do that because, well, you’re not a crazed murderer? Perhaps you could take the best of both worlds and have them play a high-end first-person shooter with you, where you could have fun taking down their kidnapping asses without any serious repercussions? Well, I’ve got good news for you, becau...[Read More]
