Review by Jason M. Namco and Brain Slap Studio’s Hexodius bolts a hex-based overworld onto a would-be fast paced, spaceship shooter, but does it work? Well, the answer is both ‘yes and no’. There’s actually a lot to like about this little blast-a-thon, but it gets weighed down by the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. CastleStorm bustles with energy, creativity, and humour. It combines Zen Studios’ impeccable sense of aesthetics with a combination of some of the most popular gameplay systems that we’ve seen in recent years.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ever since the original Super Mario Kart, it’s been far to easy to throw a collection of loved characters together in a package where they race around tracks in karts throwing random weapons at one another. Typically these games have been less than successful because a…

Read MoreWritten by Michael B. Game collection titles are an interesting oddity. From an uninformed viewpoint they seem like the best of both worlds, as developers are given the freedom to mess around with several dozen different mechanics and players are given more variety for their money. Unfortunately, most game collections…
Read MoreReview by Andrew M. One of the best things about the tablet market today is ability for developers to take our childhoods and turn them into iOS apps. I’ve got fond memories of epic games of Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Risk, and now I can now relive it anywhere. Not…
Read MoreReview by Michael B. Before I go onto the review proper, I want to point out two things. Firstly, I was never able to get Gravi to run in Steam’s Offline Mode. This was tested on both a laptop and a dedicated gaming desktop. I have contacted the developer Hashbang…
