7.5Tiny & Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers
The game left me with Pants-Magik envy.
8Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013
Duels of the Planeswalkers is a trip through the Multiverse that you can't miss.
7.5Black Market
At its core, Black Market is a game about interstellar commodity hauling and trading. But this doesn’t do the experience justice, as I found that the story made it one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I’ve had in a long time. Black Market is essentially a flash game, but plays very well despite this. Controls are responsive, and though you’re generally only using the mouse, it doesn’t feel like you’re being held back as a result...
7Ys Origin – Of Lost Goddesses and Angry Monsters
Ys Origin is frenetic, often strategic, and nothing if not difficult: A true console dungeon crawl to make your father proud. But wait.. Isn't this game a PC exclusive?
3Gemini Wars – Go Play Homeworld Instead
Gemini Wars is a space RTS, set in the Gemini sector. This is unfortunately just about the most positive thing I can say about the game. Gameplay in Gemini Wars is extremely slow. Ships move slowly, minerals collect slowly, ships and structures build slowly, ships fight slowly. There’s also no option to speed up the game, so be sure to bring a book. If the rest of the game was good, this first aspect might be forgivable, but sadly it’s just the tip of the...
5Spellforce 2: Faith in Destiny
Spellforce 2: Faith in Destiny is the latest in the Spellforce series, which is a hybrid RPG/RTS. It’s a long-running series too, with the first Spellforce 2 game having been released in 2005. The graphics are definitely showing their age, but I’m a firm believer that visuals aren’t very important if the gameplay is there. (Dwar Fortress and Minecraft? So many hours.) This is also the first Spellforce game I’ve played too, so it was a new...
6Lollipop Chainsaw – Girl Approved
A game with zombies, chainsaws and sparkles is already my cup of tea. Throw in a cute, butt-kicking female lead and I’m all for it! Lollipop Chainsaw is chalk full of sparkle, dumb sex jokes and enough mid-fighting up-skirt shots to satisfy every mouth-breathing mega geek on the planet. The main protagonist is Juliet Starling, an 18 year girl much like myself; only she has the luxury of being a very acrobatic cheerleader, and to top it off is a “Zombie Hunter” from...
8Krater – Post-apocalyptic Sweden
Krater! Post-apocalyptic squad tactics sci-fi action RPG! I picked this one up as soon as I saw it on Steam. Going in I had been expecting/hoping for something like an updated Fallout Tactics, but it’s actually much more like a Swedish Diablo 3 set in the future. Not that this is bad, but it was surprising. Gameplay takes place in real time, with the player in command of three mercenaries (or “adventurers”, depending on how you like to look at things)...
8.5Bang Bang Racing – Sometimes, Less is More
This review is for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 version. The game is also available for Steam on the PC “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Albert Einstien In this day and age, complexity is increasingly becoming the norm. Video Games today have a wide variety of systems working under the hood to deliver the best gaming experience that it can deliver. Today’s vehicles have thousands of calculations being performed by a...
