Review: This War Of Mine (Apple iPad)

July 21, 2015

Art Game/Indie/iPad/iPad Review/Reviews/simulation/This War of Mine

It really does my heart glad when I see game developers take a more mature look at the impact that war has on people. I enjoy the odd shooter and I love strategy games, but, of course, real war isn’t heroic, and even when it’s righteous and soldiers are fighting…

I’ve done a lot of thinking about Deception IV. Having first played it a year or so ago on the PlayStation Vita, I have always had this lingering notion that as much as I enjoy it (and I really, really enjoy it), it’s never quite been the game I want…

Review: Godzilla (Sony PlayStation 4)

Godzilla. One word. One name. It carries with it instant familiarity. The recent movie went with the simple naming convention and it just worked. It was not the greatest movie ever, but I enjoyed it. It was fun, it took me back to being a kid who grew up on…

Team17 used to be associated with one thing, and one thing alone: Worms. And as good as that franchise has been to the publisher over the years, it’s now clearly looking to broaden its range. It produced Flockers a while ago, and that was good fun, and now it has…
