TICKLES TOP 10 WEAPONS

Weapons are like snowflakes, no two are alike. Wait, scratch that. Most weapons in games are so similar there’s arguably no difference between them. There are of course exceptions to this and I’m happy to run through some of them with you. I am listing my Top Ten Weapons from games, now these weapons may not be the most powerful but they are the ones that have stood out to me over the years. So st...[Read More]

WOLFENSTEIN THE NEW ORDER REVIEW

It has been over 30 years since the Wolfenstein series of games began on the humble home computers of 1981. With 8 bit graphics, that we see still being used today in some titles to great effect. Castle Wolfenstein was hailed as the mother of the stealth genre when it was released in 1981, where limited ammo scattered throughout it’s 2D world often made the player take the silent approach to enemi...[Read More]

Wildlife Park 3 Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD

Wildlife Park 3 Review   The Wildlife Park series has always been among the black sheep of the ever growing tycoon games family. While each of the three currently released games has a great idea or two, the way they’re executed makes them less desirable than their devs would want them to be. I had my hopes high that this wouldn’t be the case with their third game, Wildlife Park 3, but alas...[Read More]

Q.U.B.E. DIRECTOR’S CUT REVIEW

Director’s cuts have always been something of a gray area when it comes to games. Some games throw these things out for free, should the devs deem the additional money unnecessary. Some, however, try to sell the games again as a revamped package. Now, I won’t be going into the politics behind these procedures. It all comes down to what’s new after the update’s installed, and that’s what interests ...[Read More]

Thankfully, this is all just a visual representation and nothing terrible will happen to ...[Read More]

Shiny The Firefly Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Shiny The Firefly Review   Over the last few years I have noticed a severe lack of games being advertised for a child’s market. Whether that is through sheer ignorance or a total disinterest due to my age, beard and love of computer game violence, I am unable to tell you. Yet upon reviewing the following game an obvious revelation entered my mind. The market is well established and thriving fo...[Read More]

BattleBlock Theater Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD

BattleBlock Theater Review   Here we are. A bit late to the party, but we got there nevertheless. Behemoth’s overachieving platformer has finally reached Steam, and has a couple of cool new tricks up its sleeve. If you’re like me, and you pretended that the game didn’t exist ’till its PC release either (we all hate spoilers), then this is new and wonderful to you, too. And I gotta say, t...[Read More]

Kick Ass 2 Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Kick Ass 2 Review   Games that are based on big blockbuster movies have a reputation of disappointing their audiences in a number of ways. Most of the time the original franchise rushes a development team to complete a project, often leaving the title unfinished and comprised of immersion breaking bugs. This is an attempt to exploit the current popularity and fan base surrounding a film by ...[Read More]

The Last Door Collectors Edition Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

The Last Door Collectors Edition Review   What makes up true horror? Is it blood, monsters, quick scares? Or maybe something entirely different? Indeed, The Last Door has gallons of blood splattered throughout the storyline, but it never relies upon it to scare the player. There are finer ways to do this, and this little adventure manages to hit all the right buttons as the story progresses. One...[Read More]
