Bloooooooooooooo. Booooooooooooo. Ahem. Bloo Kid 2 is so bad it made me feel bloo. No, wait, blue! The stupid game is making my IQ bleed out all over the place. Look, there are homages to old games out there, and it’s perfectly reasonable for indie developers to want to make…
Read MoreThe folks over at Coin Bump must be doing some strange things in their office to gain inspiration for their games. Hero Hustle recently launched on iOS, and it’s inexplicably flashy and busy and cool and addictive all at once. Read on as I attempt to explain what may be…
Read MoreHighlands is a turn-based strategy game by Burrito Studio, another one of those micro indie development teams. And, as the team’s first game, its a good one, with plenty to offer fans of the RPG and strategy genres. Highlands’ setting is reasonably unique, taking place on a series of floating…

We’ve already seen this on the Nintendo 3DS, and it was a truly horrific experience. Cube Creator 3D for the Nintendo 3DS is another take on Mojang’s Minecraft,…
Read More“There is a poison spreading huge enemy making a nest at the bottom of the underground waterway.” “Woooooooooow” thought I. “This game is awesome if there’s a poison spreading a huge enemy, or a poison spreading huge enemies.” I wasn’t quite sure what to expect because the grammar of that…
