A Case of Distrust is a game I saw at the suggestion of a friend on the show floor or PAX West last year. Ben Wander’s A Case of Distrust really took me by surprise. It’s definitely a game I might have overlooked otherwise, but the visual style and design choices struck a chord in […]
Expeditions: Viking is the next game from Logic Artists, the makers of Expeditions: Conquistador. I had the opportunity to check this game out at PAX East 2016, and again am currently previewing this game before launch sometime during Q1 2017. The game takes you back to when Vikings ruled, and puts you as the newest appointed chieftain […]
Okay friends, you might not have known I was excited about this game, so now I’m going to tell you about it. In tttttttext formmmmm (cue wobbly/wavy noises and science-y sounds). Viking Squad is a lane based brawler made by some awesome Canadiens up in Vancouver. The boys at Slick Entertainment Inc, and the musical […]
RYB, or Red Yellow Blue is a mobile puzzle game made by FLEB. The name of the game is solving puzzles that are framed via geometric shapes and colored patterns, and each one gets a bit more complex as you complete them. The gameplay trailer gives you an idea of what the game is from a […]
March of Industry has a subtitle of “Very Capitalist Factory Simulator Entertainments,” which doesn’t really need much in the way of explaining what the game is about. The game is short (can be beaten in an hour), but if you’re into building simulators this game might be up your alley. You start out in a small […]
Ahh, love. Love makes the world go round, as they say. Well turns out, in Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, love makes the UNNNIIIIIVVVEEEERRRSSSSEEEEE go round. (Just read universe in like a big echoey room and you’ll get the idea). So this game is fun. It’s a 2-player couch co-op shooter that also features (thankfully) a […]
If you’re at all familiar with fighting games, you’re basically going to do well with this. Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax (which I will probably refer to it as “Dengeki” such cause it has a long title) provides hours of content in both Story, Arcade, and Dream modes. Not to mention online multiplayer, which I don’t […]
Developed by 1337 & Senri LLC “Leo’s Fortune” follows a small furrball with luscious mustache and no more money, as he travels, collecting bits and pieces of his fortune, to finally find the one who stole it all from him. So please, take a seat, relax and just move your thumbs because it is just […]
Armello is a unique game, to put it simply. It’s a game of chance, battles, prestige, and glory. And also death. If you are into strategy, magic and lore, then you should probably check out this game. Now let’s get started. The simplest way to tell you about Armello: There’s a king. You’re the leader […]
Party Hard……or Die Trying! Just kidding, in Party Hard you actually play the “good” bad guy. Well, if you consider quieting down that noisy party that’s been going on next door for hours and it’s 3 in the morning and you want to sleep by killing everyone there…then yes, you are very much the good […]
Adventures of Pip is everything you ever wanted from the retro days of side-scrolling platformers with a new age feel. Tic Toc Games, the developers behind AoP, have created a lovely game with a rich experience that’s not just “jump and evade till you reach the end of the level” gameplay. Your character/hero’s name is […]
Rocket League is the successor to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, which is a mouthful of a name. SARPBC (for short) originally released by Psyonix Studios on PS3 back in 2008, and I’d never heard of it. When Rocket League recently was announced for PS4, I was able to get into the beta for the game, […]
Pots, pans and ingredients in hand Pixel Junk’s new game, NomNomGalaxy, makes for a Soup-er good time. We’ll be cutting away all the Soup-erfluous information and give you a great creamy, but pixelated, recipe for a delicious bowl! Background: In a galaxy where Soup is the number one product in the market, everyone is hopping […]
Languinis Match and Spell is a free to play mobile game (with in-game purchases) that is really annoying on the front end, but ultimately is a nice mobile game to occupy your time in between things. The game plays very much like your typical “matching” tiles/objects/icons games, and immediately felt reminiscent of Treasures of Montezuma Blitz […]
I hate to do it, but I have to tell you this up-front: Save your money for now. Chariot Wars is a racing game mixed with a graphic novel story that tries really hard but ultimately falls short. I tested the game with two separate computers (a macbook without an integrated graphics card, and then […]
Windward is a fun-filled action game that turns you into a pirate! Er…okay, well you can become a pirate, but ideally you should be a noble sailor. It’s a sandbox game by Tasharen Entertainment that puts you behind the helm of a ship, sailing around a procedurally generated world. You can sail around completing quests […]
We Are Doomed is a twin-stick shooter that revolves around the idea that you ARE going to fail. I mean c’mon the game is called “We Are Doomed” so don’t think this is some easy-peezy game right here. It’s hard as heck but it’s fun and frustratingly addictive. So you’re basically this cute little white […]
Product Review GO! So the Red Dragon / Reddragon / Redragon, however they prefer to be called, gaming keyboard and mouse combo package is a pretty good deal for a decent price. I’m not going to wow you on the stats of a keyboard, as I think they’re pretty standard, but I’ll point out what […]
Harold is a lovely side-scroller/platformer that will be sure to keep you entertained for hours on end. No, seriously it’s got like a billion* levels. *Okay maybe not a billion, but man, it really does have a lot of levels to play. Let’s get into it. Harold’s got a pretty interesting story revolving around high-schooler angels […]
Hand of Fate is a really cool game. It mixes card based strategy with a full fledged 3D combat/arena battle game, and it does it very well. Made by Defiant Development, also known for Heroes Call on iOS, this game really shows how far you can merge game types to make a really fun and immersive game. […]
