Crush Your Enemies Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
CRUSH YOUR FEARS! CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES! CRUSH EVERYTHING! One of the most underappreciated aspects of game design these days seems to be developing a game’s personality. That extra little spark of flair and set dressing, mixed with the right characters and bits of dialog, to create a unique feel in whatever game you’re playing. While it’s not the key defining attribute, I find that a game with...[Read More]

Zombie Night Terror Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Zombies. They’re a little like Lemmings, right? I mean, they follow their baser instincts, move in a pack mentality, and love eating brains. Of course, the developers at Psygnosis played down the whole cannibal thing in their game- something Did You Know Gaming neglected to mention in their video as well. Of course, Lemmings never show their dark secret in their games, but the team at N...[Read More]
Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Boy, talk about not judging a book by its cover. When I first downloaded Stikbold!, I was expecting a straight-up sports game with a cartoonish aesthetic. What I got instead was more of an adventure game filled with kidnapping, betrayal, love, and a giant white whale that tries to swallow you whole. Yes, you heard me right; Moby Dick makes a cameo in this game. The game may start off...[Read More]

Premium Pool Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 It’s no small secret that I enjoy a good game of billiards. Whether in real life or a virtual game, few things in life are as satisfactory as messing up your shot, only to bank into a pocket unintentionally. The thrill of lining up one’s shot is comparable to hunting, or archery while retaining the charming appeal of never having to leave the safety of the indoors. Billiards also has ...[Read More]

Caromble Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; the Arcade classics will be remade by newcomer developers endlessly. Whether it’s as simple as Asteroids or as deceptively complex as Tetris, for many indie devs there’s no better way of flexing those mental muscles; than to take a long cherished classic and ask themselves “how can I make this better?â€. In a way, it’s similar to sket...[Read More]
