Review by Matt S. It would be easy to dismiss Bound as being yet another artsy game developed by hipsters that doesn’t play as “cool” as the latest shootybang. I’m sure a lot of people will do just that to it. As usual with artsy hipster games, those critics are…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. On the surface, Bird of Light is a cute, light-hearted, fun little game that seems to draw its inspiration from Old MacDonald, but don’t be fooled by the cutesy farmyard presentation—it made me think of Animal Farm more than anything else. Bird of Light tells the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I think it was about the time I hit the giant bunny that shot lasers out of its eyes, standing on a background that looked like a really messed up kid’s Yoshi game fan art. I think that was about the time that I came to…

Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. It’s 1986, life hasn’t been the best thing up until this point but you’ve just turned thirty-three, you’ve got a loving wife and daughter, that’s all that you need isn’t it?
