Dirty Bomb Beta Impressions | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dirty Bomb Beta Impressions   Take a glance at Dirty Bomb and I can guess what other game comes to mind without a second thought, Team Fortress 2. It’s got the same sort of cartoony art style, it doesn’t take itself all too seriously compared to the FPS genres most notable names. That’s not to say Dirty Bomb is the free game you and your friend cho...[Read More]
Project Nimbus Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Project Nimbus Preview   For a time in the late nineties, you couldn’t swing a baseball bat in an EB Games without hitting a mech game; believe me, I tried. Steel Battalion, Mech Warriors, Zone of the Enders- that was clearly the golden age for Mecha games. There’s nothing as empowering as stomping around and causing massive damage to everything around you; But now your probably an adult, an...[Read More]
HANDS ON LEGO JURASSIC WORLD
Recently we here at Mouse n Joypad had the chance to get some hands on time with LEGO Jurassic World, the new game from TT Games and Warner Bros. that will launch in June the same day as the movie of the same name. Now we all love the LEGO games from the youngest to the oldest of us, even if we don’t admit it, we still play them because they are made to be fun and interactive for the whole family....[Read More]
Mortal Kombat X Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Mortal Kombat X Preview   A few days ago I was lucky enough to get some time playing Mortal Kombat X and have a chat with Hans Lo, Senior Producer at Netherealm Studios for Mortal Kombat X. As some of you may know the Mortal Kombat series of games started way back in 1992 when it made its first appearance thanks to Midway Games. Midway Games sadly went into bankruptcy in 2011 when Warner steppe...[Read More]
THE ADVENTURES OF PIP PREVIEW
No matter what you play, or what console you enjoy them on, games have almost solely been built from pixels. The pixels on your screen/monitor are all important, as they all band together to form a coherent image. And yet as important as they are, no one really seems to give them any credit. Certainly no one has focused a game on these unsung heroes. Until the Adventures of PIP, that is. Imagine, ...[Read More]
GRATUITOUS SPACE BATTLES 2 PREVIEW
How does one create a strategy game that doesn’t require you to multitask at six battlefields at once while trying not to fail your mission miserably? Well, one way to go about the given task is to remove the control from the player altogether, and focus instead on pre-battle strategizing and careful unit management. Gratuitous Space Battles was one such game, and was met with considerable success...[Read More]
ScreamRide Demo Impressions | MOUSE n JOYPAD
ScreamRide Demo Impressions   Before having played the demo of ScreamRide, I really didn’t think this kind of game was for me, given that it was described as a “construction and management simulatorâ€. I hadn’t watched any trailers or gameplay videos, and had only briefly read the game’s description on Wikipedia, so I went into this with little to no bias and a fresh set of eyes. To my ...[Read More]
Neverwinter Beta Impressions | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Neverwinter Beta Impressions   Recently I spent a few days in the Dungeons & Dragons world of Neverwinter during the closed Beta stage on Xbox One. Neverwinter is an MMO that is coming to Xbox One as a free to play title from Arc Games, and having spent some hours exploring this world I can honestly say the developers are putting a lot of work into the console version of this RPG. As with al...[Read More]
Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today Preview    Dead Synchronicity is terrifying. It’s terrifying for all the right reasons, at that. Instead of pulling a fast one in the horror department, Fictiorama Studios opted for slow, deliberate dread. Gruesome discoveries, heart-breaking side-stories and horror that slowly settles into your bones is what i...[Read More]
Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries Preview   Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries was a pleasant surprise for me. While I don’t take to looking at other’s reviews before critiquing a game, I do look at the screenshots and possibly a trailer or two. From the screenshots, this looks like a basic 2D platformer set against a 3D background, with combat. The first game that sprung to mind was Batman: Arkham Ori...[Read More]
GRAND CLASS MELEE 2 PREVIEW
Simplistic bit styled gameplay is the core of Gigatross Games’ RPG arena fighter, Grand Class Melee 2. While still not released in its full capacity, the developer has created a solid platform to build on as the gameplay is tight and responsive, and other features and tweaks added later can turn it into a fleshed out and grand experience. Dubbed a ‘RPG arena fighter’, the premise of Grand Class Me...[Read More]
