LIFELESS PLANET REVIEW
Most people will have one defining feature in which they place their hopes and dreams in the future of title, something that when asked, they couldn’t do without it. For some, it is story or graphics and for others it would be gameplay or side quests. There is, of course, no right or wrong answer but when its comes to making a game there should be nothing preferable. Features like gameplay, graphi...[Read More]
International Snooker Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
International Snooker Review    Snooker can often to be referred to as the game of kings amongst the massive following it current holds. Whilst it boasts 14 major ranking tournaments and many more unranked across the face of the globe it is quite obvious to see its popularity grow from its origin, devised by the British themselves. Yet Snooker is very much a marmite sport, you either love i...[Read More]
Space Run Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Space Run Review   Being a game reviewer, there is but a few titles I return to every once in a while. Due to the fact that an average day has only 24 hours, I suffer from a severe lack of time to play as much as I’d like to. Thus, I have to be very selective about what I play and when. Needless to say, only rare titles make me want to play them again after completion. I’m happy to announce ...[Read More]
MURDERED SOUL SUSPECT REVIEW
Murdered Soul Suspect was recently released by Square Enix and was developed by Airtight Games. The game is something of a murder mystery, one to rival Sherlock Holmes or Inspector Morse maybe. One thing you have to say about this game is that it really dares to be different in a world of automated yearly releases. You play as criminal turned detective ‘Ronon O’ Connor’ who is on the hunt for a ki...[Read More]
Nascar 2014 Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Nascar 2014 Review  Nascar 2014 is a pretty standard racing game. In the single player career mode you will create a driver and pick the manufacturer of your car. I found no real difference between the manufacturers so there was no real incentive to play as one make over another. The season is made up of the normal races you would expect to see and it features tracks from the Nascar circuit. I...[Read More]
Pandora First Contact Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Pandora First Contact Review   The term 4x strategy is an interesting one. The phrase was first created back in 1993 but the genre has been around since the seventies featured sporadically amongst board games. As well as its complex game play, games using 4x usually include others ways to win then military. Whilst these games are directed at niche audience the current market seems to have gro...[Read More]
Ampu-tea Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Ampu-tea Review   Strangely enough, ever since Surgeon Simulator was introduced to the market, there hadn’t been an ungodly amount of clones released wishing to cash in on its ideas. What it did do, however, was to inspire a young indie developer to create a similar game. And yes, the term is taken lightly. Ampu-tea’s aspirations aren’t hidden at all. Quite the contrary, actually, since ...[Read More]
WATCH DOGS REVIEW
We may be a little late to the party with this review of Watch Dogs, but when a game has so much to it, I always to take my time in order to be able to give a fair and honest opinion of it. Watch Dogs, released on the 27th of May, was developed by the guys at Ubisoft Montreal, and received high levels of hype across the gaming world since it’s announcement in 2012. When a game receives this much h...[Read More]
Among The Sleep Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Among The Sleep Review   For companies producing their first title, it can be an extremely nervous time. What with the huge competition and available resources available it can seem daunting, yet often indie development companies have the original ideas that influence current trends in the industry. They dare to differentiate themselves from the status quo and produce games that offer gamers a...[Read More]
KILL THE BAD GUY REVIEW
As you might have concluded from the game’s title, Kill The Bad Guy is all about contemplating inconspicuous assassinations of criminals, mob bosses, murderers and such. These people are suspected of committing crimes that might cause a déjà vu when you read about them. See, this game isn’t too wise in the ways of being politically correct, and some of the facts *might* have been lifted from real-...[Read More]

Max: The Curse of Brotherhood Review   I’m sure you’ve all been faced with the classic problem; You decide to search online for a spell to banish your ball bag of a little brother to another dimension, find one, use it, realise it works, watch as he’s dragged through a portal in your bedroom by a giant hand, realise you’ve made a boo boo, immediately feel guilty, realise you’re a horri...[Read More]
WOLFENSTEIN THE NEW ORDER REVIEW
It has been over 30 years since the Wolfenstein series of games began on the humble home computers of 1981. With 8 bit graphics, that we see still being used today in some titles to great effect. Castle Wolfenstein was hailed as the mother of the stealth genre when it was released in 1981, where limited ammo scattered throughout it’s 2D world often made the player take the silent approach to enemi...[Read More]
