Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

Let me just say from the outset; I’m not actually opposed to the free-to-play model. Understanding that free-to-play does not mean free, I’ve had a great time with those games that I have felt have put the model to effective use in providing players with a basic, entry-level version of…

Element4l/PC/platformer/puzzle platformer/Reviews

Over the last couple of years, the relationship between platformers and narrative has gone in some rather interesting directions. While the basic “damsel in distress” trope is effective enough for games like Super Meat Boy or your favourite Mario title, games like Braid and Thomas Was Alone have turned heads…

Review: Pinball Heroes: Complete (Vita)

July 9, 2013

pinball/Pinball Heroes/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews
