Review: Pure Pool (Nintendo Switch)

November 20, 2020
Nintendo Switch/Pool/Pure Pool/Reviews/sports game/Switch Review/VooFoo Studios

Review by Matt S. Ball porn. That’s right. That’s how I’m opening this review. Ball porn. We often use “XXXX porn” to describe a game that is so meticulous in its recreation of a real-world object that it almost seems to fetishise that object. It’s usually something we use in…

Review: Pure Hold’em (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 24, 2015
card game/Indie/Poker/PS4 Review/Pure Hold'em/Reviews/Ripstone/Sony PlayStation 4/VooFoo Studios

I’m actually quite good at poker. At least, I am at first. Every time I play poker the following little narrative happens: I sit down at a table with friends (or whoever I’m playing with), and we all toss in $20 and grab some chips. At first, I dominate the…

Review: Pure Pool (Microsoft Xbox One)

November 13, 2014
Microsoft Xbox One/parlour game/Pool/Pure Pool/Reviews/sports game/VooFoo Studios/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. Pool is a very strategic game. It’s not just that there are the various angles and shots a person can play, but as with poker, it’s more important to consider your opponent than what is in front of you. If I do not think I can…

Review: Pure Pool (Sony PlayStation 4)

PlayStation/Pool/Pure Pool/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Sports/VooFoo Studios

Review by Brad L. Pool is a game of angles, skill and determination. If you play the game anything like me, it is also always the ball’s fault. To say that I am the unluckiest man in history when it comes to making simple shots in pool is a reasonably…

Review: Pure Chess (PS4)

board game/Chess/digital board game/PlayStation/PS4 Review/Pure Chess/Ripstone/Sony/Sony PlayStation 4/VooFoo Studios

Review by Nick H.Chess itself is a game that needs very little introduction or explanation – either you know how to play it or you do not. I learned at a pretty early age, though I have no delusions about having mastered it. In fact, I would openly state that…

News by Matt S. VooFoo continues on its quest to get Pure Chess on to every gaming platform known to man with a PlayStation 4 version of the game to land on April 15 in the US, or April 16 for Europeans. Although we had our issues with the recently-released…

Review: Pure Chess (Nintendo 3DS)

3DS/board game/Chess/eShop/Nintendo/Pure Chess/Reviews/Ripstone/VooFoo Studios

Review by Clark A.  Chess has never been a spectacle of a sport in the same way as other great games are but that hasn’t impeded its capacity to deliver high-stakes, strategic action over a period lengthier than a millennium. So given that Digitally Downloaded’s editor-in-chief has practically gushed over…

Review: Pure Chess (Wii U)

board game/Chess/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Pure Chess/Reviews/Ripstone/VooFoo Studios

Review by Matt S. We’ve reviewed Pure Chess in the past. It’s been across just about every game platform I own now, in fact, and the standard has been astronomical across the board (hah, there’s a pun for you in the opening paragraph). The Wii U version is the latest…

Review: Backgammon Blitz (Vita)

Backgammon Blitz/board game/classic game/parlour game/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony/VooFoo Studios

Review by Matt S. I’m not surprised that VooFoo Studios decided to make a Backgammon game. After the massive success of its Pure Chess and Hustle Kings parlour games, Backgammon is a natural extension of the capabilities that the team has built up. Unfortunately for VooFoo, while Backgammon Blitz features…

Interview by Matt S. One of the indie studios that has impressed us the most in recent years has been VooFoo Studios, who has been able to take simple but proven, traditional games, and polish them to the brightest sheen possible for the video game medium. What we’ve seen with…
