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)

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…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Cube Tactics is a curious and entertaining blend of a 2D straight lined Tower Defense styled game with RTS elements in a cubelike 3D world. The game starts off on a charming note with the introduction from the greatest Cube Master – Sir Knight who will…

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…

News by Matt S. When you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Recently the first tidbits of Assassin’s Creed: Unity were leaked out of Ubisoft’s towers. Rather than try to downplay the leaks, Ubisoft has decided to formally release a “sneak peak” minute of very early footage of the game. Unity…
