Dungeon Of The Endless Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dungeon Of The Endless Review  Imagine getting jettisoned from a prisoner transport spaceship onto a random planet, only to survive the rescue pod crash and be forced to make your way out of the strange maze-like caves your pod exploded its way into. This is the setting of Dungeon Of The Endless – and the game has you controlling a couple of rag-tag characters as they trudge through the...[Read More]
DUNGEON OF THE ENDLESS REVIEW
Imagine getting jettisoned from a prisoner transport spaceship onto a random planet, only to survive the rescue pod crash and be forced to make your way out of the strange maze-like caves your pod exploded its way into. This is the setting of Dungeon Of The Endless – and the game has you controlling a couple of rag-tag characters as they trudge through the depths of Aurora. If you read our review ...[Read More]
HOW TO SURVIVE: STORM WARNING EDITION REVIEW
Zombie games are a staple diet among the gaming community, some of which are rehashed ideas of older games while others are just plain shooting as many zombies as possible. How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition keeps all the blood guts and gore you are used to having in the run of the mill zombie games, and adds its own flair to the proceedings by making you survive and struggle at every turn. As ...[Read More]
SKYLANDERS TRAP TEAM REVIEW
We here at Mouse n Joypad firmly believe that certain games have a target audience, and while the Skylanders franchise is fun it has a target audience that, well, is somewhat younger than most of us. We decided for the Skylanders Trap Team review, we would do something different, and a member of that target audience in to review the game while we sat and looked on taking notes and watching the rea...[Read More]
PROJECT SPARK REVIEW
I have now spent a fair bit of time in and about the systems of Project Spark, I was a Beta tester and have been dabbling in the system since launch, so I guess it’s time for me to tell you what I think of it. Project Spark has been in the beta phase for a while now as Team Dakota and Microsoft tested how the community went about working in the intuitive environment that surrounds you in the game....[Read More]
GABRIEL KNIGHT: SINS OF THE FATHERS REVIEW
While this may very well be the golden age of gaming, some things will never make sense to me. For example, we’ve been getting remakes and redux versions of games that are less than 10 years old left and right, but most gaming classics that actually deserve a real, worthy remake aren’t even planned to be getting such treatment. It was great to hear then, that the very first adventure of Gabriel Kn...[Read More]
DIVEKICK ADDITION EDITION + REVIEW
Divekick has recently appeared on Xbox One for download with the name Divekick Addition Edition+, developed by the guys at Iron Galaxy Studios. When someone mentions fighting games to me, I generally shudder at the thought of having to bash my controller to within and inch of it’s life, trying to pull off the ultimate move. We all know the feeling of watching our character being used as a dummy fo...[Read More]
JET CAR STUNTS HD REVIEW
Echoes of the Jet Car Stunts’ original platform, the iPhone, are obvious. The game runs at 1080p, but the visuals otherwise lackluster. A low-poly car drives through a floating world of single tone boxes, in a bland skybox. Controls are responsive, but they aren’t translated to the controller perfectly. If you attempt to accelerate before a level’s starting countdown is finished you wont move. It ...[Read More]
The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter Review My first playing session of this game had me going “wow†all the time. The amount of details on everything was astounding – the textures were rich, forests felt alive and colours amazingly vivid. I knew this game was special right from the start, but in what manner – that was still a mystery to me. So I kept playing, astounded by the masterfully...[Read More]
Stronghold Crusader 2 Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Stronghold Crusader 2 Review    Ah, Stronghold Crusader. How many hours have I wasted just building amazing (messy), sprawling (overcrowded) cities (junkyards) just to have them razed by a rat-like bastard warlord. It was a masterfully realised game that handled its quirks nicely while delivering an amazing gameplay basis. Both in single player AND multiplayer, and you could play the bugger on...[Read More]
Shadow Of Mordor Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Shadow Of Mordor Review Let me begin this review with the following: I do not care about the Lord of the Rings saga. I haven’t watched the films or played any of the games previously. Therefore I don’t care about how this game will affect the lore of the series, whether they’ve added characters or whatever. It’s a game. It’s there to be fun. That being said, Shadow Of Mordor is...[Read More]
Guilty Gear X2 Reload Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Guilty Gear X2 Reload Review  Before we begin, if you are considering buying this title first make sure you have a PC compatible controller or joystick. This game does not play particularly well without one. I liked Guilty Gear X2 Reload a lot less than I thought I would. As a fan of Street Fighter, Blazblue, and Marvel Vs. Capcom, I thought I would certainly find something about Arc Syste...[Read More]
