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]

Qvadriga Review   Variations on a genre or a concept can be extremely different, especially given time and creative thinkers. For example, top down, or an eagle eye view, has always been a popular view for strategic games due to the nature of the genre and the availability of information from such a sight. Some developers may capitalize on this trend by making you, the player, a god-like entity...[Read More]

Xenonauts Review   The hardest part in any X-COM-alike game for me has always been the beginning. Not only are you severely underpowered and mostly oblivious to the alien threat, but you also have to quickly catch up with all the complicated mechanisms that make up the game’s deep gameplay experience. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll have to do that two times over since the game basically...[Read More]

Battle Group 2 Review   War sells a tremendous amount of video games a year, a phrase that may be controversial and perhaps spark debates, yet it has never been truer. The glorification of gun wielding soldiers in a deprived and often backward part of the world in the name of peace appears to be a huge selling point. You merely have to glance towards Activision and Dice as an example. The pro...[Read More]

Ionball 2: Ionstorm Review   I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a gamer that truly dislikes Arkanoid and/or Breakout titles. There’s something magically attractive about the legendary gameplay mechanic that consists of destroying numerous tiles with a paddle-propelled ball that bounces back and forth like a confused meerkat between two holes. Yes, I’m aware that the comparison sucks, bea...[Read More]

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]

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   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]

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]
