Preview 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…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Contrast is an interesting look at a family struggling to stay together in the 1920’s. The primary character is a small girl named Didi, though the player actually controls Didi’s imaginary friend who shift through the light and shadows creating a world of 2D and 3D…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Al Lowe; three people who pretty much gave me my sense of humour through the point and click adventure games they were involved with in the late-eighties to mid-nineties. As of late, there has been a resurgence of the genre through…

Read MoreReview by Chris I. On a remote space station floating just above Earth’s atmosphere, some of the brightest minds have come together for the ultimate experiment: breaking down the barriers of the space-time continuum to open the galaxies for leisurely space travel. The risks were always high and the unexpected…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I was truly impressed by SteamWorld Dig when I reviewed the original release of it on the Nintendo 3DS last year. It was a hugely creative little game that successfully merged platformer and Mr Driller-style play together, and mixed in a really neat steam punk theme…
