Aerena: Masters Edition Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Aerena: Masters Edition Review   Upon its original release a while back, Aerena couldn’t have struck a chord with me. There’s only a handful of free-to-play games I like and I usually abhor the notion of kicking off another one such title. This has much to do with the fact that most F2P games require the player to grind some kind of resource a significant amount of time before being able to ...[Read More]

Pixel Heroes: Byte and Magic Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Pixel Heroes: Byte and Magic Review   Pixel Heroes: Byte and Magic, developed by The Bitfather, is a 2-D, side-scrolling, rogue-like, adventure game with witty dialogue and old-school, RPG elements. The game features 30 playable characters to unlock, a handful of achievements, and endless, class combinations giving the player countless amounts of replay value. All things to consider, the game is...[Read More]

Decay: The Mare Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Decay: The Mare Review   I’ve been swamped by adventure games of all kinds these last few days. It’s not a bad thing either, to ditch the shooters and RPGs for a little while, and play games whose sole focus is to tell you a story. Gameplay takes a backseat in adventures to develop characters, settings, and storylines instead. In Decay: The Mare – characters are few and far between, but it...[Read More]

Sunless Sea Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Sunless Sea Review   Sunless Sea is a unique, beautiful and utterly devastating experience at the same time. Set in the vast universe of Fallen London, you’ll be exploring the grim Unterzee with an ever-so-randomized crew at your side. It’s a top-down game in which you take direct control over your ship and sail around the dark ocean in search of interesting stories to uncover. The system is...[Read More]

Cities XXL Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Cities XXL Review   What gaming needs right now is a really, really good city-building sim. SimCity won’t do for obvious reasons, and it’s no wonder gamers have decided to look for their next fix elsewhere. Cities XXL promised to cater to those gamers. Before you ask – no. Those promises have not been fulfilled. Really, I could finish this review right here and now simply by stating that t...[Read More]

Pix The Cat Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Pix The Cat Review   Pix The Cat is a game developed by Pastagames. A developer whose name you might have heard if you’re a mobile gamer too. To be exact – these are the guys that brought us Rayman Jungle Run. A beautifully tight high-score platformer that everybody should own. Now they’ve taken the fight to PC with the title I’m reviewing here. Pix The Cat is a high-score-hunting arcade...[Read More]

The Supreme League of Patriots Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

The Supreme League of Patriots Review    Not too long ago, I wrote a preview for all the episodes of The Supreme League of Patriots. And I can honestly say my opinions have not changed much between the multiple game sessions. But I don’t think it’s the game’s fault, I think it was “born” into the wrong genre. With a premise as gripping as a patriotic Justice League, the genre best sui...[Read More]

Dying Light Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Dying Light Review  I don’t think I’ll ever forget the disappointment I felt upon playing Dead Island for the first time. I mean, everything was fine when I started it, with the mandatory linear tutorial sequence and cinematics. No, things fell apart for me when I realised that Dead Island wasn’t a sandbox game. Really, it was just a rather spacey corridor shooter with melee weaponry assumi...[Read More]

Blackguards 2 Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Blackguards 2 Review   Sequels. Gotta love ’em, am I right? Coming as a follow-up to the last-year’s beginning of a new IP sourced from The Dark Eye universe, Blackguards 2 is here to fix the things its predecessor did wrong and provide some sustenance to the turn-based strategy fans. As you might have noticed, there’s a severe drought of such games and this title couldn’t have arrived a...[Read More]

STRIFE VETERAN EDITION REVIEW

Remember “ye olde” shooter? You know, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and the like? No? Well, neither do I. I was far too young and preoccupied playing Tekken 3 and Rayman and the like. And besides, by the time I was gaming, the PlayStation had already come out, displaying full 3D graphics. So when it was time to start shooting some enemies in glorious first person, I was already spoilt for choice. In 3D. No...[Read More]

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review  Few games have ever resonated with me as well as the Metal Gear Solid titles have. Granted, I played only the original MGS and its immediate successor, while only dabbling in MGS4 on my friend’s PS3, but the lore, the characters, the overall atmosphere of this legendary universe is unique, and has intrigued me ever since taking control over Snake for th...[Read More]

Flyhunter Origins Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Flyhunter Origins Review   A word on Despicable Me’s Minions. Enough. That is all. I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely sick to death with these stumpy yellow creatures. Yes, they were funny at first, with their broken Spanish, strange eyes and their obsession with bananas, but I feel they’ve overstayed their welcome. Evidently the majority of people don’t agree, as they’re ver...[Read More]
