In a way, it’s similar to sket...[Read More]

Sheltered Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Starting out in Sheltered, I made my real life family. We didn’t last long. Someone forgot to repair the water filter of our underground bunker; by someone, I mean me. Guess I’m your typical forgetful father, but I didn’t think about what would happen next in such a short amount of time. I watched my children get sick due to radiation, and because our home needed attention, I was unab...[Read More]

Pre-Alpha Build Of The ‘System Shock’ Remake Looks Amazing | MOUSE n JOYPAD
In my review of the ‘Enhanced’ version of ‘System Shock,’ which you can read here, I said that the experience was a look at the brilliance that’s been punished by time and innovation. The controls, which were refined in this updated version, were still too unintuitive, and the storyline was far too simple when compared to games like it’s spiritual successor Bioshock. After this video r...[Read More]
