Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Expands | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Backwards compatibility is the biggest selling point for me when it comes to console shopping. I have a lot of games, and while some of them don’t have as long a shelf life as other titles, especially those in my Steam Library, I do like cracking open some of the titles I rarely play or haven’t replayed in a while. Between every few sessions of Monster Hunter 4U, it’s nice ...[Read More]
Organic Panic Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
When I booted up my copy of “Organic Panic†I was presented with a title menu that had me believing the game I was about to play was designed for a population less than half my age. It had all the trappings that connote the general understand of what “Candy Crush†is -in essence; I was expecting an overabundance of the intellectually-reduced type of design that I do not need to extr...[Read More]

Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Bringing together a huge pool of characters from a variety of sources, all tied together by a common thread and making use of easily recognised characters and locations to treat fans of the company to a thrilling and fun mash of references and interesting character interactions that normally wouldn’t come about otherwise. Whether i...[Read More]

NightCry Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
When I heard about NightCry, I had a wave of childhood-inspired excitement overwhelm me. The Playstation’s Clock Tower was my go-to scary rental from my neighborhood shop when I was a kid, and my admiration has continued into my adult years. That being said- it’s not a great game. I’d be hard pressed to even call it a good game. Using a d-pad controller and a cursor, you click your wa...[Read More]
