What’s quite incredible about Spartan Assault is that it has managed to encapsulate the atmosphere and design of the Halo games, previously exclusive to Microsoft systems, into the confines of an iPad. From the way troops behave, to the weapons and locations, it feels like an authentic Halo experience, even…
Read MoreThese days I feel bad for zombies. After becoming mainstream along with vampires and werewolves, how many apocalypses have they started and failed by now? They’ve tried to conquer the world in different ways but somehow humanity always seems to bounce back. So what happens when zombies go over 9000?…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It takes just three minutes to turn me from a perfectly competent and confident player of games, able to hold his own in the most competitive of gaming environments, and turn me into a quivering wreck. My palms sweaty, my thumbs slipping off the Dualshock 4’s…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. It’s hard to make a twin-stick shooter that stands out from the rest. Crimsonland, brought to us by developers 10tons, is the next game to try. It takes takes the steps needed to advance the formula, only to take a few steps back in the process.…
