Supreme League of Patriots Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Supreme League of Patriots Preview The Supreme League of Patriots sounds much more interesting than it actually is. I mean, “The Supreme League of Patriotsâ€. It makes you think of a mass of superheroes gathered around a large table, discussing their powers and ways to bring down their enemies. Maybe something along the lines of Saints Row 4, with co-op superhero tag team smackdowns on all who ...[Read More]
#IDARB Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
#IDARB Preview  #IDARB started as a single tweet by lead director Mike Mika of Other Ocean Interactive when he posted alongside an image of a red box, “Where to go with this? I’ve started a new project, it draws a red box. Thinking platformer.†And thus #IDARB was spawned, with the acronym of course standing for ‘it draws a red box’. After many inceptions, the game became an 8-player ar...[Read More]
Tristoy Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Tristoy Preview  Tristoy is a new co-op game on steam greenlight. It’s artwork is hand drawn, it has many dialogue choices that affect gameplay, and it throws you into the heart of conflict right from the get go. You are the prince of some foreign land who has been captured by the Iron Kingdom. A Witch tortures you for a confession to an unknown crime with a gruesome and deadly penalty. As a pl...[Read More]
Blackguards 2 Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Blackguards 2 Preview   Let me begin this preview by saying that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the way Blackguards 2 handles the lore its predecessor set up. The protagonist, Cassia, gets trapped in a dungeon (with her kitten killed brutally) and we, the players, then take control over her in her quest to rule the kingdom, if only for a day. The randomness of this thought is presented in a...[Read More]
Dying Light Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dying Light Preview  My first thoughts upon seeing Dying Light were something along the lines of disgruntled noises marking my discontent with the fact that we have another Dead Island spin-off incoming. Then I saw the parkour and all the next-gennyness, but it didn’t spark much interest in me. Finally, a couple of months later I landed a preview copy and my mind was immediately blown. First of...[Read More]
The Crew Beta Impressions | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Crew Beta Impressions   Upon booting up The Crew, I was treated to a long disclaimer asking me to refrain from forming or sharing an opinion based on this beta experience. This coupled with the fact that the review embargo is lifting after release, and that no major outlet is getting a copy until launch was all enough to destroy my confidence in The Crew. It’s a shame that The Crew is rele...[Read More]
Kalimba Sneak Peek | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Kalimba Sneak Peek  Press Play’s upcoming title Kalimba (formally known as Project Totem) is rather hard to describe. In the strictest sense it is a simple platformer but there is something about Kalimba that makes me think it is so much more. Built on Unity, this somewhat basic looking indie game has a certain charm that is hard to place. I have been fortunate enough to get early access...[Read More]
Onikira: Demon Killer Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Onikira: Demon Killer Preview  Long ago in ancient Japan, there existed a belief that if a mortal were able to connect their soul to that of a dragon, they would become unstoppable. It was said that only once this happened, and the results had been so awful the dragons fled the world in fear of letting it happen again. It all started when the emperor, Hirumo, too ambitious and power-hungry...[Read More]
Clandestine Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Clandestine Preview  Stealth is the key to everything. Whether you’re trying to sneak in an enemy base and destroy an insurgent cell or simply stealing some pie from the fridge, it’s all about going in as quiet as is humanely possible, completing the objective and getting the hell out before anybody realises what’s going on. Despite of how awesome stealth is, truly great sneakers ar...[Read More]
Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight Preview  Joylancer is a new early access 2D indie platformer currently available on Steam and itch.io. While half of this introductory sentence may have you thinking this is a contrived play on your nostalgic heart and purse strings. As much as I like a good 2D platformer I’ve grown tired of hearing the pleas of well meaning amateur developers on kick...[Read More]
Nosgoth Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Nosgoth Preview  *Note: I’ll only be talking about the standard setup for each class Vampires have fallen into obscurity recently. What I mean by that is you can now move 10 feet in any direction without being overwhelmed by the vampire-related books, films and TV shows that used to swamp the entertainment industry. One thing I always felt was missing from the tidal wave was games. And I...[Read More]
World Of Speed Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
World Of Speed Preview Another game coming from the My.com stable of ‘free to play’ titles is World Of Speed, a racing game under development by Slightly Mad Studios, the same developers that are currently developing Project Cars. We have all played racing games through the years and they remain a firm favourite among the gaming community, and ‘free to play’ racing games offer little in t...[Read More]
