Marvel Heroes 2016 Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I’ve always had a soft spot for hero games. Whether it’s the more serious and grounded Spiderman games, or the more zany and whacky Saints Row 4; I’ve always admired the sheer amount of exhilaration and exploration presented to me in each game. Of course, from time to time there’s a flop, but for the most part, it’s rare for me to play a game about superheroes and not have some mo...[Read More]

RPG Tycoon Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I’ve always been a fan of the idea of controlling an entire settlement of heroes as opposed to leading a few of them on their adventures. Thinking about such feats of megalomania warms my cold, cold heart, and I’m always ready to jump at a possible spiritual successor, provided there’s something to be hyped about in regards to the given project. Being a huge fan of the ancient Majesty...[Read More]
Arslan: The Warriors of Legend Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
It’s funny how you sometimes ignore the most obvious of ideas before someone else finally comes up with them. Until I saw Arslan: Warriors of Legend, not once did a thought of combining the Warrriors franchise with anime cross my mind. I’m not sure why is that so, because it’s pretty obvious it’s a brilliant pairing if executed correctly. As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, A...[Read More]

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
After playing through Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, all I can do is feel sorry for whoever works on the series. You’re constantly living on the scraps of Pikachu’s ferocious diet and mocked as just another clone. Having almost no experience with the series, I went in with fresh eyes and a lot of patience. The series has over 50 titles; there’s gotta be something worthwhile here. I was ...[Read More]
Action Henk Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Boy, Action Henk sure is an… interesting game. Besides knowing that you can butt-slide around, and it’s humorous visuals and presentation, I had no idea what I was in for when I fired it up on my Xbox One. All I knew was that some fat guy was front and center on the game’s cover. Well, I’ve been playing it for a few days now, and I have to say that I wasn’t expecting it to be a sp...[Read More]
Cobalt Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I’d be lying if I said Cobalt didn’t ruffle just about all of my feathers at first. And really, it did. At the time of writing this feature, I’ve got the honour of reviewing the latest Koei Tecmo title which is fiddly as all hell, and setting it up to run properly wasn’t nearly as excruciating as my first twenty minutes with Cobalt were. But hey, if you think this is going to be a rant on ...[Read More]
Human Fall Flat Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Simplistic, yet fun and creative!  As some of our readers may know, in case you’re familiar with my previous features, I’ve got two basic archetypes by which I judge a game; optimism that degrades into general disinterest or disappointment, or anticipated dread that turns to joy when I find out a game is actually much better than it looks. With Human Fall Flat, this may be the first game I’...[Read More]
