Morphopolis Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Morphopolis Review   Who’s afraid of the big bad bug? Not I! Initially made available on the iTunes store in November last year, Morphopolis is an adventure style puzzle game where you take control of an insect overcoming various challenges to advance the visual narrative. The end goal in each of the five stages usually involves encountering a dead bug which you have to bring ba...[Read More]
Psichodelya Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Set in a futuristic sci-fi setting where alien aircrafts battle it out in the skies for supremacy, Psichodelya draws heavy inspiration from other titles in the Shoot ‘Em Up genre, especially from Ikagura but with a slight twist with its polarity switching mechanic. While visuals and audio aren’t exactly its strongest points, gameplay mechanics are decent and work adequately. Psicho...[Read More]
Global Outbreak: Doomsday Edition Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 In the last couple of years, Steam has been hosting a number of games of dubious quality. Sadly, a fair share of such „quality“ titles have been the efforts to port mobile games to PC. Even some of the big development houses messed this up (Deus Ex: The Fall immediately springs to mind), so it’s obvious that it’s not a simply copy/paste tas...[Read More]
Meridian New World Review
 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 – MOUSE n JOYPAD
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]
Cloud Chamber Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Cloud Chamber Review   Every once in a while, we gamers witness a title that pushes the limits of what can be defined as a game. Mostly, the discussion about how much these projects are worth boils down to a single argument – it’s not interactive enough. And while games as a medium are much more open than anything else currently on offer, there always has to be a healthy amount of player ...[Read More]
Z Steel Soldiers Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Z Steel Soldiers Review   Z Steel Soldiers is a RTS developed by Bitmap Brothers which was originally released back in 2001 and has recently become available through Steam. It is important to note that the game is hitting 13 years old so it will be pretty dated by today’s standards. Z: Steel Soldiers is the sequel to the excellent (but older still) Z released back in 1996 which is also availab...[Read More]
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]
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]
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]
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]
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]
