Preview by Ginny W. A game that advertises itself as being a mix of other established titles always makes me a little bit wary. I think that there’s a very fine line between a studio being inspired by a popular game versus reproducing a core idea from a popular game…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. I have served the city of Freeburg for decades, but I am being forced out in six months time. I have no retirement plan; my focus has always been on making sure this city runs as smoothly as possible. I am Jack Boyd. And I am…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. If you’ve ever read a work by Kafka, you’ll know that it’s a rather disorientating experience. Not only is it hard to figure out what’s going on, due to the rampant surrealism and unconventional grammar, but it’s even harder to figure out what you’re meant to…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Relying on an amusing style that wears its retro arcade stylings on its shirt sleeve, Molemen Must Die! never takes itself too seriously. With a focus on lightning quick action, rapid deaths and achieving the highest score possible, this game reminds me of the quarter munchers…

Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. My first experience with The Escapists was actually when I previewed The Escapists: The Walking Dead for PC. Within minutes of beginning to play via keyboard, I knew the franchise was destined for a mobile release. I later spent many an hour with The Escapists on…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. All of the cool kids these days are making some form of pixelated game intended as a throwback to the glory days of the 80’s. More often than not, the difficulty spike of the 80’s rears its ugly head as well. 8Days is no exception, and…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. For all it’s worth, Chime Sharp looks like a zen-inspired puzzle game. The player is tasked with tessellating shapes together to form larger quadrilaterals, all to the tune of pulsing electronica. Don’t be fooled by its colourful, minimalistic exterior however, because this is a game sure…
