Victory At Sea Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Victory At Sea Review   The first thing you do in Victory at Sea is choose a character from several presets. They all do the same things, play the same missions and the Big Cheese simply refers to you as “Captain†regardless. Once you’ve chosen your character, a tutorial video pops up. This has to be one of the weaker parts of the game. The voiceover that tells you how to play sou...[Read More]
SACRED 3 REVIEW
Word of advice – don’t expect Sacred 3 to play in the same manner as its predecessors did. You’ll probably be disappointed as there are but a few connections between the first two titles and the newest one. Now, what we have here is an amalgam of two distinct gameplay styles – both originating from the hack ‘n’ slash craze that’s been running the show ever since the first Diablo title. Now, I grea...[Read More]
Mount Your Friends Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Mount Your Friends Review     Sexual innuendo! Who doesn’t like it? Well, people who are kinda awkward about the whole „crotch-in-your-face“ thing Mount Your Friends has going for it. Also, it’s not really implicit when the game has you controlling a dude in a speedo grabbing other similarly dressed dudes and climbing them in a rather jittery fashion. Anyhow, this is what the game fo...[Read More]
ABYSS ODYSSEY REVIEW
Abyss Oddity, is the sort of terrible pun I’d be using to open this review I were a journalist lacking in any taste or decency, but I’m not so I won’t. Yet I were to summarise my feelings toward Abyss Odyssey in one word it certainly would be odd. Having completed multiple solo runs I still can’t quite decide what is I enjoy so much about Abyss Odyssey. Here’s my problem, alone certain elements of...[Read More]
Unrest Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Unrest Review   How interested would you be in a game that has you controlling a poor villager, a princess, and a simple priest? How could a game that delves deep into politics and human sociology be taken as anything but an experimental software with little in the way of actual gaming value? As it turns out, Unrest manages to be both clever and interesting with little effort. Its combination o...[Read More]
Z REVIEW
I know quite a lot of people who enjoyed playing Z back in 1996, when I was a mere toddler. To get rights to re-release such a cult title is an honor in gaming, and it’s sad when studios take things like this for granted. While this might not be the case with what we have at hand today, I’m under impression that only minimal effort was taken to get this game released on Steam. Don’t get me wrong, ...[Read More]
BATTLE FLEET 2 REVIEW
Tactical simulators helped to grow the early PC gaming community back in the 90′s, they dominated the sales charts for years and I think it’s fair to say that games like Panzer Commander had a huge hand in making gaming what it is today. Turn based strategy games have been in decline in the current climate of adrenaline fuelled action set pieces, epic role players and MMO’s. Capital J Media are wo...[Read More]
GUACAMELEE REVIEW
Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition is a 2D action platformer developed by DrinkBox Studios. You take on the mantle of a Luchador and find yourself fighting to free your true love from the clutched of an evil skeleton named Carlos Calaca. He has a devious plot to rule not only the realm of the dead but also the mortal world. That’s a brief backdrop of Guacamelee’s story, it’s not a new tal...[Read More]
CONTRAST REVIEW
Some of you may remember Contrast from the Xbox 360 marketplace where it was released as an arcade game. At that time it was plagued with numerous bugs and minor problems. Compulsion Games have now bought this puzzle platform game to Xbox One with the bugs ironed out, I hope. Contrast is a unique game in that it is set between the world of real life, and the world of shadows. Everything has a shad...[Read More]
QUEST FOR INFAMY REVIEW
Despite what some of us might think, classic adventure games aren’t dead. Even after Telltale decided to ditch the working formula in favour of a new, more dynamic gameplay style, there are still some enthusiastic developers that keep working on their decidedly more orthodox adventures. One such title is Quest For Infamy, where the bulk of the gameplay indeed does play out from a standard adventur...[Read More]
Divinity: Original Sin Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Divinity: Original Sin Review    A couple of years ago, the Divinity franchise was resurrected from obscurity with Ego Draconis, a by-the-book RPG that had one amazing feature – you could turn into a dragon and lay waste to everything before you. Still, it wasn’t an especially inviting nor fascinating title, so its audience was spread thin, so to say. Definitely too thin to create a cult ...[Read More]
ZOMBIE DRIVER ULTIMATE EDITION REVIEW
Zombies are a favourite form of enemy in many games these days, it seems like the world would not mind if an outbreak were to happen tomorrow, we would simply pick up the nearest thing that is possible of inflicting damage and have a go at zombie bashing. Zombie Driver goes one step further however, putting you in an array of different vehicles, strapping on the biggest meanest weapons on the side...[Read More]
