Review by Matt S. In principle I find the idea of spending a couple of hundred dollars on a keyboard to be ludicrous. But then I used the CoolerMaster CM Storm Mech, and now it makes much more sense. The keyboard is designed for enthusiasts, with an aluminium-based design that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We’ve seen something of a resurgence of classic-style dungeon crawlers this year. Might & Magic X resisted the temptation to try and “modernise” to instead provide a very traditional dungeon crawler. Independent developers, meanwhile, have produced the likes of Paper Sorcerer and we have The Legend…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Thief clearly aspires to be the thinking man’s FPS. It’s a game that genuinely wants players to complete objectives using clever thinking rather than physical conflict, which is the precise opposite of what most AAA-games ask of their players. And then it’s told through the eyes…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Chain reactions are inherently fun. Anyone who’s ever owned a set of dominos can attest to this. Laughing Jackal’s newest Steam release, OMG Zombies!, aims to mix the fun of chain reactions with a zombie apocalypse. First released as a Playstation Mini a few years ago,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. This isn’t going to be a full-length review, since it is just a single pinball table DLC for Zen Pinball 2. But I did feel like it was worth running a brief review on it, because of the many (many) tables available through Zen Pinball 2,…

If you are a console-orientated person, and don’t have a high-spec…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. What happens when you mix Castlevania and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? You get AeternoBlade. AeternoBlade is a 2D action platformer where you play as Freyja, a young woman whose village was destroyed by Beladim, the Dark Lord of Mist. If that doesn’t give…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Platforming games were my bread and butter growing up. I had some older consoles like the TI99/4a and Atari to keep me busy as a little kid and then when the NES came out I got to experience the wonders of Super Mario Bros. and more.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I never thought someone would think to modernise Tempest. The classic arcade game from 1981 was certainly a wonderful game for its time, but it never became iconic like some other classic games (think Space Invaders, Asteroid and Pac-Man). But here we are with TxK, which…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for indie platformers to stand out from one another, particularly when a game’s novelty has to do with difficulty. The PC’s selection is astounding and there’s quite a variety amongst tough-as-nails platformers with titles such as Super Meat Boy, No Time to…
