Review by Matt C. It’s clear that a lot of heart’s gone into the development of Eekeemoo: Splinters of the Dark Shard. Unfortunately all the good intention in the world can’t save a broken game, and that’s what Eekeemoo is. It barely works as a prototype, let alone a full…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Baseball may not be the powerhouse sport in America that it used to be, but it certainly still has international appeal. MLB The Show is a reflection of the relative lack of interest in the sport I suppose, as it is the only AAA baseball title…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. In the past, I have avoided anything labelled “roguelike” as if it were the plague. No way, no how was I going to go near games belonging to what just may be the most difficult genre of all time. Randomly generated levels? No difficulty selection, but…
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 Brad L. Yooka-Laylee is an old-school 3D platformer in the same vein as Nintendo 64 classics such as Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. Made by Playtonic Games, a team that includes several ex-Rare employees who worked together during the Nintendo 64 days, this is a game that promised…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. FlatOut 4 is a sequel to an absolutely terrible game. Sure the first two, in a series that stretches back as far as 2004, had been decent enough, but FlatOut 3 was that bad that it should have been a franchise ending event. Thankfully that was…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’ll gladly preface this review by saying I’m not the biggest baseball fan in the world – I was drawn to Out of the Park more for the spreadsheets rather than the sport – but I can confess that my time with the 2018 edition of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s been a good couple of weeks for super-smart visual novels. On the one hand, you’ve got Danganronpa 1+2 Reload. It’s bright, it’s colourful. It has sexy anime girls and awesome anime guys, and even a cute mascot character. Sure that mascot is also a psychopathic…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If you’re going to make a sequel to a game, make sure it’s an actual sequel. I really loved the original Siralim. It tickled my nostalgic itch with its ridiculous menu system, super old-school character design, and commitment to roguelike difficulty. It was a game that…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. I didn’t really know what to expect, going into Unearthing Mars. I hadn’t heard of it before the review code for sent my way, and I didn’t do any sort of research before strapping on my VR unit and diving in. I’m glad I didn’t, because…
