Aqua Kitty – Milk Mine Defender Review
Feb 21, 2014
You know that it’s gotten bad when cats have to mine for milk in the depths of the ocean, despite their natural aversion to water. In the world of Aqua Kitty – Milk Mine Defender, things are just this grim. But given this sad circumstance, this is a game that permeates joy all around.
LocoCycle (PC) Review
Feb 18, 2014
LocoCycle is just as ridiculous as prior Twisted Pixel Games have been in the past, perhaps more ambitious than previous endeavors like Splosion Man and The Gunstringer. It also features a talking motorcycle. Is it as crazy as it sounds?
Probably Archery Review
Feb 13, 2014
Real-life archery is very difficult. It requires strength and many hours of practice to get right. Probably Archery is also very difficult in a virtual environment. Is this a problem? Probably.
Double Dragon: Neon (PC) Review
Feb 10, 2014
Double Dragon is an iconic beat’em up series. Would remaking it pixel for pixel evoke nostalgia for a replay? Would rebooting it piss off fans of the original? WayForward avoids the answers to those questions by re-imagining it by both catering to fans of the old games and creating something new with the existing characters in a refreshing, yet retro way.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch Review
Feb 03, 2014
University student project, Octodad, back in 2010. It garnered a lot of attention and was a freeware success. In 2011, a Kickstarter for Octodad 2 was formed to help fund a proper sequel, which was successful on its own terms (and not like Double Fine numbers). And here we are, Octodad: Dadliest Catch is the renamed, completed project of Octodad 2. Is it truly a catch, or should you throw it back?
Europa Universalis IV: Conquest of Paradise Review
Jan 31, 2014
Europa Universalis IV’s latest DLC, Conquest of Paradise mixes up the core gameplay by injecting some randomization that gives an ahistorical premise to the world. The expansion focuses less on Europe, and more on the expansion to the West. The New World gives more to do in an already busy game.
METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE (PC) Review
Jan 16, 2014
After almost a year since the original release, comes the PC version of METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE from Platinum Games. Platinum has done was Platinum does, and made a fast, frenetic game with high replayability. And the game alone warrants a double-dip on PC, or your first-time purchase.
Europa Universalis IV Review
Nov 22, 2013
As someone relatively new to Paradox strategy titles, Europa Universalis IV thoroughly challenged me. I can say that while the learning curve is extremely high, there’s a want to keep trying. And try I did, and much of anything, spending more time with the game allowed me a better understanding of the core mechanics, but not after watching YouTube Let’s Plays and looking at Wiki’s.
Deadfall Adventures Review
Nov 13, 2013
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, you play as a plucky anti-hero whose family contains a long line of explorers, and you reluctantly and begrudgingly join up in this expedition for the cause of money, and pretty woman.
Battle Worlds: Kronos Review
Nov 11, 2013
King Art Games, a German developer known for The Book of Unwritten Tales has created a successful game, two-fold. One part is their overfunded Kickstarter. The other, is the incredibly well-designed and fun-to-play, Battle Worlds: Kronos that is a hex-grid, turn-based strategy game as few do well.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Review
Nov 08, 2013
Call Of Duty is the 800-lb gorilla that continues to break sales records year after year. And this year contains some big moments for the series: Infinity Ward’s return to helm the series it helped raise, the creation of a new universe, as well as bridging the series into the next-generation of consoles as we enter the 10-year anniversary since the series debuted.
Final Exam Review
Nov 05, 2013
Originally given the confusing title of ‘Obscure’, as the developers who eventually formed Mighty Rocket Studio, have already made a game called Obscure. The game itself isn’t obscure, and is a clear and focused game that is well worth your time and money.
Batman: Arkham Origins Review
Nov 04, 2013
The third game in the Arkham trilogy has arrived, and the events actually take place two years into the career of Batman after Bruce Wayne returned from his self-imposed exile. Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman, is young, naive, and learning about himself while dealing with pent up frustration, anger, grief, and loss. Arkham Origins sets the stage for what’s to come while introducing interesting characters, but with stale gameplay.
