Review: Hitman GO – GO Buy This Game

Hitman is known notoriously for unforgiving stealth combat that punishes the most brazen of players until they either learn how to be properly quiet in their approach or just say “eff it” and go guns blazing. How, then, would you ever expect a game with a formula like this to translate to mobile? Square Enix Montreal has taken this question to heart, and decided to offer us a stern answer: welcome Hitman GO. GO is not your usual Hitman game. Players control Agent...

Review: Secrets of Rætikon – A new angle on acute bird watching

While drafting this review I continually hit a wall in the form of the question “How do you review a game that is all about secrets?” Secrets, by their nature, are supposed to be hidden. So by explaining why Secrets of Rætikon is good I could easily ruin it. With that in mind, I have attempted to pen this review in a such a way as to withhold the secrets while also exploring the Secrets of Rætikon. Secrets of Rætikon places you in control of a man-bird-thing. You are...

Review: GIGANTIC ARMY – Mech-Scrolling Arcade Action

The 16-bit side-scrolling mech shooter GIGANTIC ARMY came out on Steam on March 6 and feels like the arcade games I played more than 15 years ago. I would rather this game stay in the past with the other arcade games from that part of my life. GIGANTIC ARMY takes less than a hour to beat in a single run, and you have to beat it in one go. In the arcade game style you have four lives, including the one you start with, to make it through the game’s six levels. Which...

Review: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes – Short But Sweet

Originally thought to be the next full-length installment in Konami’s long running stealth-action franchise, Ground Zeroes has since been cut down to little more than one intense rescue mission. What you’ve heard of Ground Zeroes is very true, the main campaign will last you a little under three hours, with the side missions taking up to another hour to complete. Length isn’t a slight against Snake’s latest mission however, as Ground Zeroes acts like...

Review: LUFTRAUSERS – Intense Stylish 2D Shooter

From the same publisher Hotline Miami came to us from, Devolver Digital, comes LUFTRAUSERS. Similarly, like Hotline Miami, LUFTRAUSERS is a modern-retro style game. Using music and graphics that seemingly could’ve been done on an 8bit or 16bit platform, however, LUFTRAUSERS has been caked up for modern gamers. LUFTRAUSERS is an intense stylish 2D shooter that aims to give you one of the most intense 2D shooter experiences out there. The name of the game is simple...

Review: Gran Turismo 6 – The 6th Chapter of the Gospel According to Polyphony Digital

Gran Turismo has surpassed being just a game to me. I’ve been playing since the first GT came out on the original PlayStation when I was a freshman in high school.  Gran Turismo was the sole reason I bought a PlayStation in the first place. My passion for things Gran Turismo has become more than just a love but an institution.  Gran Turismo’s pedigree of excellence established a benchmark for realism and handling as well as graphical presentation.  Polyphony Digital...

Review: South Park: The Stick of Truth – Dungeons and Douchebags

In the world of South Park, Colorado, a world where everything from fourth graders tell you to f*** off, to pedophiles snapping passport photos of nude children at a photo specialists workplace, what more can happen? A lot, apparently, when the status quo of all our favorite stop-motion kids is thrown off by a rather unfamiliar and never before seen face – yours. You, the new kid in South Park, who has moved in with your parents to start a new quiet life in the small...
