Review: Zombie Ball (iPhone)

May 25, 2011

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m a little over zombies. Every game these days seems to throw in a zombie mode, and in many cases, it’s unnecessary. Whilst I’m sure zombie AI is easy to program (point in a single direction and shamble, shamble, shamble), its rapidly becoming…

The more we see of Orcs Must Die! the more we look forward to its impending release. A new video shows off some nasty traps to inflict deadly wounds on the swarms of orcs. Robot Entertainment look like they’ve got a hit on the hands with this little downloadable game.…

Stone Prophet and Strahd’s Possession: It’s time for a return of the horror RPG

Writing the retrospective piece on Wake of the Ravager brought back fond memories of the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Masterpiece Collection – a set of games that I lost much of my youth to. Thinking more about those games, I realised something – two of them, Strahd’s Possession and Stone…

Review: Diversion (iPad)

May 24, 2011

Diversion/iPad/Reviews

Diversion is named perfectly. This simple little one button platformer is bright and charming, and utterly absorbing. Playing this on the train I had nearby commuters watching, when usually they have the good grace to at least pretend to be looking elsewhere. Playing this at home in bed, I realised…

Suda is one of the most creative minds in the game’s industry. His successes, such as Shadows of the Damned, are literally mind blowing, but even is less succesful experiments, such as No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise had its strengths in its storytelling and aesthetics.

Retro Reviews/Virtual Console/Yoshi

AKA Mario & Yoshi When the title of a game is as vague as “Yoshi”, it’s tough to speculate what you’re getting into. Players take control of Mario and flip panels with the intention of using eggshells to form baby Yoshis. Yoshi was originally released for the NES after its…
