Caromble! Switches to F2P Model | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of previewing Crimson Owl Studio’s “Caromble!”, a small indie project that uses a modified Breakout style gameplay, and a steampunk inspired setting. It was a fun little title, and the price it was being offered for wasn’t the worst; but things seem to have taken a turn for the worse with Crimson Owl, as announced in an email fro...[Read More]

QUANTUM BREAK REVIEW

After a long drawn out development phase, Quantum Break was finally declared ready and we were lucky enough to be able to play it early for the purposes of this review. Remedy Entertainment is no stranger to games that are story driven, with the likes of Alan Wake under their belt, so I was excited to try their new game. These days I think it is hard to find games that focus most of the developmen...[Read More]

Divinity: Original Sin Goes VR | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Enhanced Edition of Original Sin gains free VR, with no headset required  It’s not unusual for games these days to receive some form of update or patch to allow support for VR headsets. Many titles even seem to be coming out that are tailor made around the idea of using VR headsets, embracing the trend after the official release of the Oculus Rift earlier this month.  One such game being Divin...[Read More]

Crush Your Enemies Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD

CRUSH YOUR FEARS! CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES! CRUSH EVERYTHING! One of the most underappreciated aspects of game design these days seems to be developing a game’s personality. That extra little spark of flair and set dressing, mixed with the right characters and bits of dialog, to create a unique feel in whatever game you’re playing. While it’s not the key defining attribute, I find that a game with...[Read More]

Zombie Night Terror Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD

   Zombies. They’re a little like Lemmings, right? I mean, they follow their baser instincts, move in a pack mentality, and love eating brains. Of course, the developers at Psygnosis played down the whole cannibal thing in their game- something Did You Know Gaming neglected to mention in their video as well. Of course, Lemmings never show their dark secret in their games, but the team at N...[Read More]

Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD

  Boy, talk about not judging a book by its cover. When I first downloaded Stikbold!, I was expecting a straight-up sports game with a cartoonish aesthetic. What I got instead was more of an adventure game filled with kidnapping, betrayal, love, and a giant white whale that tries to swallow you whole. Yes, you heard me right; Moby Dick makes a cameo in this game.   The game may start off...[Read More]

Premium Pool Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

   It’s no small secret that I enjoy a good game of billiards. Whether in real life or a virtual game, few things in life are as satisfactory as messing up your shot, only to bank into a pocket unintentionally. The thrill of lining up one’s shot is comparable to hunting, or archery while retaining the charming appeal of never having to leave the safety of the indoors. Billiards also has ...[Read More]
