Space Colony Review   Playing Space Colony, I was suddenly reminded of my childhood; not because it’s a classic PC game, but from the years I spent in my backyard gazing as far as I could into the stars. I was an intergalactic dreamer, a grass-stained voyager and a lover of TNG- all I ever wanted to do as a kid was to go into space. Nothing on this planet could compare with the travels in my m...[Read More]

Gratuitous Space Battles 2 Review   Do you plan much while playing video games? I’m not talking about marking enemies before rushing head-first towards them while riding an elephant with a mounted machine-gun, no. I’m talking about building your equipment in excruciating detail, taking your sweet time to visually design it, then preparing for combat and only later letting the action sequence...[Read More]

Telepath Tactics Review   Telepath Tactics wears its influences boldly on the sleeve. It draws inspiration from games such as Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics. Borrowing mechanics almost directly from its predecessors, Telepath Tactics is a smart update and greater than a simple imitation of the games that came before it. Unfortunately, technical glitches, an unfriendly interface and poor e...[Read More]

Stealth Inc. 2 Review A Game Of Clones   Stealth Inc. 2 is a sequel to Stealth Bastard Deluxe and, believe me, this is a huge step forward from the original. This is not only visible through the visual upgrade but the story mode gives players the opportunity to explore and complete, ranging from fairly easy to utterly devious, puzzles outside of the original test chambers. Even though the story ...[Read More]

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved Review   In Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved, you play as Lt. Humphrey, an ex-student who dropped out of high school after he failed his Maths exams. He had no future prospects in life until he volunteered for “Dimension Exploration”. He was then put into an experimental ship by some officials in suits, and sent through a portal into a new dimension: th...[Read More]

Bloodsports.TV Review   At the same time, Bloodsports.TV is familiar yet alien. It makes no qualms about directly lifting certain design aspects from other popular MOBAs, but adds a zesty flavor that’s actually missing in most of these games. Set in the same universe as Krater: Shadows over Solside, it features a similar aesthetic style as well as the atmosphere, but is in essence a very diff...[Read More]

Nightbanes Review   There’s a certain barrier of entry some games have to contend with. Nightbanes, a card game developed by a German company Diviad and published by Headup games, has to deal with some of these externalities. In a genre dominated by Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, Nightbanes instantly has to find a way to differentiate itself from the opposition, or present itself as a c...[Read More]
