March 27, 2014

Apple/Atlus/iOS/iPhone/iPhone Review/JRPG/Shin Megami Tensei

Review by Nick H. I have been playing JRPG titles for about as long as I have been gaming. The story lines, character development and sense of progression have all tested my mind rather than my reflexes over the years, and to this day I consider it my favourite genre.…

Cliff Harris/Democracy/Democracy 3/Indie/Interview/Interviews

Interview by Matt S. We recently had the opportunity to review Democracy 3, and we found it to be a rather educational, if occasionally dry look at politics, but a truly useful game for anyone who’s ever had an interest in some of the thinking that goes on behind political…

Gadget/Gadget Review/gaming keyboard/Hardware/Hardware Review/keyboard/QPAD/Reviews

Review by Rob P. You must have heard the one about the monkeys. If you put a monkey in a room with a keyboard all you’ll get is gibberish. But if you give an infinite number of keyboards to an infinite number of monkeys you’ll end up with the Complete…

Drums of War/PC/Reviews/RPG/Slitherine/Strategy/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Drums of War is something I would have expected to play a decade ago. That’s not a criticism, but rather an understanding at the start of this review that I know this game isn’t going to even come close to appealing to the mass market. In…

CT Special Forces/PC/Retro/Reviews/Shooter

Review by Harvard L. I’m not the biggest fan of shooters, I’ll admit, but with their saturation in the industry I feel like they can be relied on to provide honest, predictable fun. CT Special Forces is a single player third person shooter which will seem a little familiar to…

Review: Angry Birds Epic (iPad)

March 25, 2014

Angry Birds/Angry Birds Epic/Apple/casual games/Free-to-play/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Rovio/RPG

Review by Matt S. Credit where credit is due; Rovio is not simply letting its hero franchise have its 15 minutes of fame before bowing out. Consider Call of Duty or Halo; the developers wouldn’t dream of taking the formula that made these games so popular, and building something as…
