Runers Review   Going by the old strict definition of what makes a rogue-like, Runers is not exactly one. However, the term “rogue-like” has been so frequently used (or rather abused) nowadays to mean any game featuring procedurally generated levels, even if they play like a retro arcade style shooter game (a case in point being “The Binding of Isaac”) that, in this aspect at least, ...[Read More]

Commando Jack Review   Tower Defence games and I have a love-hate relationship. I would never seek them out, or play them in my spare time. But on those special school days, when all your IT work was finished, you would be furiously scanning the internet for a flash game site that wasn’t blocked. Sure, the search was difficult, with dead ends at every turn, but then you found one. You found a ...[Read More]

God Factory: Wingmen Review     It’s been more than a decade since I have played some pretty excellent space combat simulation games such as Wing Commander Prophesy and Starlancer.

While visuals and audio aren’t exactly its strongest points, gameplay mechanics are decent and work adequately. Psicho...[Read More]

  Â   A huge percentage of games we play are produced by rather large development teams and when you get onto a AAA title the cost of making a game can reach a staggering sum. A team of twenty developers can spend two years making a mediocre game that we as critics and gamers the world over can criticise and tear apart, the thing is that we are right to do so. Effort counts for a lot but...[Read More]

Risen 3: Titan Lords Review   Risen 3 gives you the opportunity to turn into a parrot. As far as I’m concerned, that’s a game-selling feature right there, but wrapping the review up without writing about anything else would probably get me fired, so here we go!Back in 2009, via Risen, Piranha Bytes reiterated their RPG formula into a more user-friendly experience. It was a very Gothic-like g...[Read More]
