Resident Evil Revelations Series – A Return To Form | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Revelations and Revelations 2 in particular are outliers of the series. The first game was released in-between 5 and 6, and strangely enough isn’t too similar to either of those titles. Originally built for mobile platforms, Revelations plays more like Resident Evil 4 than anything else; it’s got some clunky mechanics, somewhat tanky controls and an utterly silly storyline â€...[Read More]
Journalist Falls for April Fools’ Joke | MOUSE n JOYPAD
So, as with every April Fools day, a journalist falls for a source’s practical joke hook line and sinker. Reporting on an announcement Crimson Owl Studios made on April the 1st, in an April 2nd article I announced straight-faced that Caromble would switch to a Pay-Per-Life model of gameplay due to Crimson Owl seeking additional financial support for their pet project. Only later, when Cri...[Read More]

Get Thundershocked In Tactical-Combat/Strategy Sci-Fi Game ‘Shock Tactics’ | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Square Enix Collective are just about ready to release another one of their crowdfunded games, and it’s out of this world- literally. Shock Tactics is heavily inspired by games like Jagged Alliance and the oh-so-infamous X-Com franchise, but has a setting and tone similar to the cult favorite Firefly. Blending the ruggedness of the American Western with the setting of an ancient alien...[Read More]
Speedrunners Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
When I met with tinyBuild at E3 of last year, I was surprised to find their small room was filled with the color orange; chairs, curtains, and party supplies. It was all orange.

After I got done che...[Read More]
