Son Of Nor Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Son of Nor Preview  Terraforming. The art or act of shaping the earth or ground at your feet. This hasn’t always gone hand in hand with gaming. There have definitely been exceptions: Minecraft and Terraria spring to mind, since they technically allow you to freely break and re-arrange the ground. The only problem is that these games use a grid-like system, restricting terraforming to b...[Read More]

I’m glad Access Games builds off of the Telltale adventure game model. I find it is more intuitive than old school point-and-click collectathons. D4 offers enough unique content and design that I would avoid writing it off, but it is clearly building off existing works. I have a confession to make, Dark Dreams Don’t Die and Crimson Dragon were the first games to get me interested in owning an Xbox...[Read More]

GAUNTLET REVIEW
Back in 1985, a certain arcade machine entered the early gaming fray. It was a fantasy COOP slasher that punished its players for playing, as those arcade games often did. However, it had great gameplay, pretty visuals and hooked you up faster than cocaine. Its name was – Gauntlet. 29 years later (ignoring the Gauntlet 2), a PC follow-up is finally released. The Gauntlet we have today has little i...[Read More]
