Sheltered Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Starting out in Sheltered, I made my real life family. We didn’t last long. Someone forgot to repair the water filter of our underground bunker; by someone, I mean me. Guess I’m your typical forgetful father, but I didn’t think about what would happen next in such a short amount of time. I watched my children get sick due to radiation, and because our home needed attention, I was unab...[Read More]

Pre-Alpha Build Of The ‘System Shock’ Remake Looks Amazing | MOUSE n JOYPAD
In my review of the ‘Enhanced’ version of ‘System Shock,’ which you can read here, I said that the experience was a look at the brilliance that’s been punished by time and innovation. The controls, which were refined in this updated version, were still too unintuitive, and the storyline was far too simple when compared to games like it’s spiritual successor Bioshock. After this video r...[Read More]
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
There seems to be an influx of Warhammer games at the moment. At the demise of THQ it seemed that there would be a long drought for the next Warhammer title and wouldn’t you know, a couple of years down the line we are up to our collective pauldrons in the grim universe. It is refreshing to see a game that breaks from what we have come to expect from a Warhammer game, be it a dwarf slaughtering ...[Read More]
Armed and Gelatinous Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Over the course of the last decade or so, gaming as a whole has made strides in virtually every relevant area of development. Whether it’s gameplay, graphics, physics, simplicity of development… you name it – it’s been improved.

The Guest Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Waking up in the 1980’s in a Massachusetts hotel suite, The Guest puts you in a situation where you’re left to put the pieces together on your own. After I had strumbled around the bedroom, locked in without a clue on how to leave, I found papers filling me in on who I was. It would seem that I was a doctor from Russia, here for a conference and holding up until the first day. As I expl...[Read More]
ALEKHINE’S GUN REVIEW
Have you ever heard of Death to Spies? It’s a somewhat niche WWII version of Hitman, where players take up arms as a Russian spy doing his part in taking down the forces of the Axis. It’s a relatively little-known and relatively old series that has its loyal following but has never really grown enough to be considered a serious contender to Hitman, its only real competitor. Death to Spies (and its...[Read More]
