If you’re at all interested in Warframe, surely you’ve heard by now that the next Prime Frame is none other than Vauban, and he comes packing some serious heat in the form of Akstilleto sub-machine guns and the p...[Read More]
FRAGMENTS OF HIM REVIEW
I’m not sure what it is, but I tend to get all the tearjerkers at Mouse N Joypad. In Between, Goetia, Between Me and The Night, and Afro Samurai 2. Jokes aside, I guess everyone there knows I’m a big softy, and I’ll probably get the most out of my time with any game about death, sorrow and existential themes. So, when I was handed Sassybot’s Fragments of Him, a new PC and Xbox One game about death...[Read More]
Gang Beasts: Multiplayer Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Lately, games have not taken themselves too seriously, and that’s okay. Games like Battle Born, Plants vs Zombies, and Ratchet and Clank all strum to a more comical string. Along with these titles is indie hit Gang Beasts. The original game released in August of 2014, and is now adding a multiplayer function. A lot of the joy of playing Gang Beasts (if not all of it) comes from playing wit...[Read More]
Mr. Nibbles Forever Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Porting a game across multiple systems is an easy and cheap way of extending its shelf-life, and reaching a number of new potential fans. For instance, not everyone in this day and age has a smartphone available to them (god have mercy on their souls), meaning a whole host of fun games like Temple Run and Angry Birds are inaccessible to casual gamers who might otherwise be interested in suc...[Read More]
MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA “OFFICIALLY” SET FOR EARLY 2017 RELEASE
It’s the start of a new month, which means new Mass Effect news. Today an update on the game was released on the game’s site. Most of the information released only hints at new additions in the game; which is to say that they are temporarily only fluff words. Some key information made its way across to us. First and foremost, general manager at Bioware, Aaryn Flynn, states in the update that Mass ...[Read More]
Starship Corporation Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Imagine a business of some sort. Any kind – doesn’t matter what it is. You did? Great. Chances are, there exists a simulator game out there that deals with the business you’ve imagined. Trucks, busses, trains, game development, zoos, theme parks… and these are just off the top of my head. It’s perhaps a bit of an oddity, then, to see that there are fa...[Read More]
InSomnia Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
There are definitely some strange things brewing out of Russia right now. As the first game from Russian-based studio MONO, InSomnia is distinctly titled as a “tactical real-time RPG with sandbox elements that include randomly generated events and a deep crafting system set in a retro-futuristic dieselpunk world.†Yes, it’s a mouthful, but it is pretty much on-point with the experience I had...[Read More]

Outlast II: Coming Back With A Vengeance | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Red Barrels are at it again. Bringing the popular first person horror game back. Its gameplay was premiered at PAX East last week. From the sounds of it, there was a lot to be desired from the first of the series as far as meeting a lot of predictable horror clichés. It sounds like the developers took note on this, as the situation in the sequel is much different than an abandoned hospit...[Read More]

Yes, you read correctly. Starting today, Valve is allowing customers to purchase games on their Steam digital platform using the open-sourced, person-to-person Bitcoin form of currency. For those unfamiliar with what exactly Bitcoin is -and trust me, I’m still trying to figure it out fully- it is a digital form of currency that is given from one person to another without the mediation of b...[Read More]
