Review by Nick H. Fight The Dragon is a clever little title that does not wow with technical achievement, but provides plenty of fun, balanced gameplay and ample opportunity to flex your creative muscle to boot. The end result is an action RPG that is stronger than its individual parts…

Review: Papers, Please (Apple iPad)

December 24, 2014

Indie/iOS/iPad/iPad Review/Papers Please/political activism/Reviews/simulation

Review by Matt S. Papers, Please is not the kind of game that would ever feature in a Christmas countdown. It’s most certainly not the kind of game that you should be playing to set yourself in the mood for the season. It is a brutal, depressing, and frank deconstruction…

Review by Matt S. There are a couple of genres that iPads do really, really well, and Football Manager is an example of that. A cerebral, menu-driven experience rather than an action button masher, Football Manager is the kind of game that is perfect to take down to the pub…

Codemasters/PC/Racing Game/Reviews/Toybox Turbos

Review by Jim S. When I think of Codemasters I think of great simulation racing games such as the GRID and F1 franchises, so it came as a bit of a surprise that the publisher would take on a game like Toybox Turbos. I’m rather glad that it did, because…
