film-noir-inspired-calvino-noir-coming

August 14, 2015

Love film noir? Love being stealthy in video games? Love solving puzzles? You may want to sit down, because we’ve found the perfect game for you: Calvino Noir. Described as an “exploratory, sneaking adventure though the 1930s European criminal underworld,” the trailer is actually quite reminiscent of This War of…

If you’ve ever wanted to be a commando elephant in a land ravaged by war, your time has finally come! Set to launch July 21 (in North America, it may take a little longer for our loyal readers in the Western hemisphere) is Game Freak’s new game, Tembo the Badass…

Review: Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds (PC)

February 9, 2015
5PB/Beat 'em Up/PC/PC Review/Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds/Reviews/sidescroller/Steam/Steins;Gate

Why developers still insist on locking away harder difficulty levels is beyond me. Here we have a novel 2D beat ’em up that oozes style through and through, but its flashiness is soon overshadowed when all the player does is near-mindlessly tap away at the same two or three buttons.…

Review: AeternoBlade (3DS)

February 20, 2014
action/AeternoBlade/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/sidescroller

Review 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…

Review: Gigantic Army (PC)

bullet hell/doujin games/Gigantic Army/Nyu Media/PC/Reviews/sidescroller

Review by Harvard L. It’s funny to think that Gigantic Army is set in an alternate reality where by 2009, mankind has already invented the warp drive and dove headfirst into interplanetary warfare. The game itself feels like it belongs in an alternate reality where the Nintendo 64 and Playstation…

Review: Final Exam (PS3)

action/Final Exam/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/sidescroller

Review by Rexly P.  Imagine Left 4 Dead as a 3D side-scrolling game and give it a more comical polish and you get Final Exam, which follows the adventures of four characters as they return to their hometown for a high school reunion only to be welcomed by a horde…

Review: Floating Cloud God Saves the Pilgrims in HD (Vita)

September 3, 2013
action/Dakko Dakko/Indie Game/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/PSN/review/Reviews/sidescroller/Sony/vita

Floating Cloud God Saves the Pilgrims was originally a PS Mini title for the PSP, and one that was held in high acclaim. It was a unique horizontal shooter in the same vein as The Game Atelier’s Flying Hamster, but wasn’t quite as much fun as, in my view, the…

Review: Duke Nukem II (iPad)

3D Realms/Apogee/Apple/Duke Nukem II/Interceptor Entertainment/iOS/iPad/Retro/Reviews/sidescroller

Is the Duke worth remembering before he went ‘3D’? The revamped second entry in the series makes a case. I actually remember Duke Nukem II when it was released by Apogee (there’s a blast from the past) back in 1993. I can’t say that I played it though, as I…

Review: The Flying Hamster HD (Vita)

January 11, 2013
Arcade/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/sidescroller/Sony/The Flying Hamster/The Game Atelier

The Game Atelier has a habit of making incredibly addictive little games that are essential for anyone who likes fun. Last year it brought Sun Flowers to the PlayStation Vita in a gorgeously HD port complete with trophy support. For a fiver it was easily the best value game on…

Sacred/Sacred 2/sidescroller/trailer

Sacred 2 is one of my favourite Diablo-clones ever. It was a massive game that you could easily spend hundreds of hours in. So Sacred Citadel immediately caught my attention. After watching the reveal trailer I must admit my emotions ran the full range. Initially I was a little disappointed…
