Sometimes a game just resonates with you, and it can be hard to put a finger on exactly why it does so. The Splatters when it released on the Xbox 360 was well-received by Matt when he reviewed it last year. I know I certainly enjoyed it, sinking a good…
Read MoreIt is so easy for me to imagine the conversation which birthed this project; [Within fledgling quasi-independent game studio 3AM Games…] John: “Hey Dave!” Dave: “Yeah?” John: “You know what Valve Software’s Portal needed?” Dave: “No.” John: “Cthulhu!” [And so began the development of Magrunner: Dark Pulse.] Magrunner: Dark Pulse,…
Read MoreIt’s not often that I get hooked into a puzzle game because of its story, let alone because its story elements are more intriguing than the actual gameplay itself, but that’s exactly what happened with Quell Memento. The first thing I did after the game kicked off was to touch…
Read MoreI have a very high tolerance for games that others call clones. I see differences in PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale that set it apart from Smash Brothers games, for instance.

Read MoreAt first glance, Bridge Project would be easy for most players to dismiss. It doesn’t have the words ‘Super’ or ‘Legend’ in the title nor does it have anything to do with aliens or Russian terrorists. It’s a very niche title that only appeals to a very specific audience and…
Read MoreImagination. Its a wonderful thing when utilized to its full extent and people can whisk themselves to the most fascinating of paradises. Imagine, if you will, a world that you could interact with in the most primal way. You want it to be night, and *poof* it is. Feeling peckish?…
Read MoreOriginally a release on the Nintendo DS, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes has made the high definition jump from consoles to iOS. It’s good, but the technical faults of this version mean it fails to recapture the charm that it originally had. It’s not that Clash of Heroes is…
Read MoreI can’t say I’m a huge fan of The Cave. Tim Schafer’s newest work is Tim Schafer through and through, and certainly in terms of presentation it’s a game that’s hard to argue with, but this is one of those rare times with Schafer where the gameplay doesn’t support the…
