Review by Trent P. Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube is an atmospheric game, if nothing else. Set in a world based in the sky players need to complete block-style puzzles in order to progress. At first I found myself bewildered by the experience. The first few levels were designed as tutorials,…
Read MoreNews by Jedediah H. Planning to eventually have its first game, Kidnapped, available on as many platforms as possible, indie developer Deceptive Games has begun by making it available for appraisal via Steam Greenlight: Deceptive Games are pleased to announce its first game “Kidnapped” starting with Windows desktop PCs is…
Read MoreNews by Jedediah H. Inspired by an unrealistic amount of hours playing the likes of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Megaman, Metroid, and Limbo, Memories is a confident mixture of action, puzzle-platforming, and a forebodingly dark atmosphere that will have you reminiscing of your formative gaming years (while playfully punching…
Read MorePreview by Jim S. Terrian Saga is an action platformer that is reminding me a lot of the games I played as a child. It’s almost like a mix of Mega Man and Commander Keen. Players will take control over KR-17, a small military robot with a surprising amount of…

It just so happens that games like The Witcher, Dragon Age, and Diablo, embrace the themes of gothic fantasy with…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Shovel Knight might just be my favourite “NES” game of all time, and that’s saying a lot. As much as I love to play new releases, I always enjoy revisiting older titles, even if it’s a game I’ve played to death. But booting up a decidedly…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Having the audacity to try and come up with a sequel to the (literally) ancient game of chess takes gonads. And yet that is exactly what David Sirlin is doing with the straightforwardly-named Chess 2. Sirlin might not be a name that is instantly recognisable, but…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. There’s been a noticeable resurgence of old-school, retro-inspired platformers in the last five years or so, and some of the more noteworthy titles attempt to elevate their difficulty status to something akin of “NES-hard”.
