Review by Matt S. Why do I love Might & Magic X so much? Let me count the ways! 1) It’s an old-school style RPG Might & Magic X is a turn based game where players move around an environment laid out like a grid, one step at a time.…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. When it comes to video games (especially indie platformers), we are very quick to slap a “retro” label on new titles. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it’s a lot easier (from a technical and production standpoint) to hearken back to old-school graphics. But most of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. NES Remix is a quirky little game, and a clever way for Nintendo to exploit games that are as much as 30 years old just that little bit more, but ultimately this is the kind of game that people will point to as proof that for…
