Herolike Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I spend a lot of time on Steam. I am not talking about time spent actually playing games via Steam, but rather I spend what is bound to be a significant part of my life going down what I like to call the “Steam rabbit holeâ€. I have not taken an exact tally, but Steam currently has more games than I’ll ever realize – and that number gets bigger each month! This means that there are a...[Read More]

Overfall Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Asa gamer, do you ever yearn for a bit of whimsy in your life? Do you ever want to play a colourful, vivid game that cracks jokes all the time and isn’t afraid to pull a fast one on you to keep you entertained? Naturally, such games do exist, but it is my personal belief that they are too few and far between. I’m not jabbing titles that take themselves seriously, mind you, it’s just t...[Read More]
One Upon Light Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
One Upon Light, this is my love letter to you. In the short time we had together, I just wanted to tell you how much fun I had with your puzzles. It all started with me waking up in a rundown and dilapidated facility, with my character being visibly being hurt by bright light. Your black and white visuals were a brilliant choice in a game where avoiding light is your primary objective, whic...[Read More]
Ironcast Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Very few games stand out. That is the brutal truth from a games journalist and reviewer. Sure we can find positives and negatives, there is sometimes a strong plot to keep us tied into the game or more often than naught, once we are done reviewing the game, it will likely never get booted up again. It’s a sad truth, one that I’m not sure many of my colleagues would be too happy with me ...[Read More]

Trulon: The Shadow Engine Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Trulon: The Shadow Engine is going to be a hard review for me. I’ve been sitting here for the past ten minutes, trying to figure out how to start one of those reviews where I talk out of both sides of my mouth. I guess I should just warn you, Trulon made me fall in love with some of it’s ingenious game design, but then shake my head at the experience’s many missteps. I love the card b...[Read More]
REAGAN GORBACHEV REVIEW
If you were around during the dark days of the Cold War, you might remember the unspoken, lingering unease that saturated the world for half a century. You would think that a game set during this time of extreme distrust would focus heavily on relations between the USA and the USSR. If we are honest, Reagan Gorbachev could have easily been based on a generic steroid taking beefcake blasting away t...[Read More]
THE SOLUS PROJECT PREVIEW
I’m a big fan of structure, and that’s one of the reasons I like games such as The Solus Project. For a while now, we’ve been getting sandbox titles that had little to no form – true to their name – and while this is fine for when you just want to have fun and ignore the loosely strewn together storyline, a gaming session in which a person is properly invested in whatever title he or she is playin...[Read More]
