Review by Jedediah H. One of my best friends who like me considers himself to be a hyperactive gaming aficionado avoids games he considers childish. “Kiddie crap,” he calls them. So when he joined and observed one of my late night streams of The Last Tinker: City of Colors, his…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. One of my favourite tower defence games of all time is Cubemen 2. Players create little… cube men, and then set them around a grid-like environment to protect their flag from invading hordes of enemy cube men. But that’s just one mode. There are actually seven…
Read MoreNews by Jedediah H. If you feel that the current selection of games available for your PS4 is lacking in playfulness, child-like wonderment, and 3-D plat-forming that requires fair skill in timing, dig up your old colouring book and don those sunglasses; The Last Tinker: City of Colors is available…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Ask anyone – if they had to pick the single genre which represents the indie gaming movement the most, it’s likely that the answer will unanimously be “puzzle platformer”, or the equally tiresome “puzzle platformer, with a twist”. It’s hard to not be jaded in 2014…
