Fortified
Canadian developer Clapfoot, responsible for mobile titles like Hero Forge and Tank Hero, have set their sights to the console space with their 1950s sci-fi base defense shooter Fortified. It tells a wacky story of a Martian invasion on Earth with players taking control as one of four heroes including:...
Lovely Planet
It’s hard to hate and love a game at the same time. Lovely Planet teeters on the brink of being annoyingly repetitive, while joyfully addictive. This bizarre, glee-injected shooter will have you smiling from the initial blast of colour and upbeat tempo, but the novelty soon wears thin. Joy turns into...
Amplitude
Amplitude is back after a successful Kickstarter campaign, which began in 2014! The original game’s code was used to faithfully create a sequel to the PS2 original that many have been waiting almost 13 years for. The original Guitar Hero was kind of like “Amplitude 2” (or “Frequency 3”), and...
Hard West
Hard West impressed a lot of people at PAX this year with the way it blended familiar concepts with some new ideas and presentation. It has been often said that it is “XCOM with cowboy hats,” and that does, in many ways, give you a pretty accurate summary if you...
Anno 2205
So the latest installment in the Anno series is out, going even further into the future. New tech, new climates, and a visual upgrade await in this AAA-priced building game, but is that enough to justify shelling out the big bucks? While Anno 2205 on its own is a very...
Broforce
Broforce is a love letter to those 1980 action movies of yore when Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Kurt Russell et al were headliners and played their action hero roles more or less straight. Thirty years later you find them all congregating in a single Expendables movie...
Ride
Developer Milestone are the industry vets when it comes to motorbike games. Responsible for the MotoGP and MXGP franchises, RIDE is the Italian developer’s most recent crotch rocket game. Taking more of a sim approach, Milestone’s latest project finally arrives in North America after several delays. Unlike many other sim...
Xbox and Halo, Halo and Xbox, the two are synonymous with each other. When the original Xbox debuted in 2001, so did the original Halo, and since then we’ve seen quite a few Halo games (11 and counting), and the Xbox console is now in its third generation with the...
Rebel Galaxy
Space games sure seem to be a hot commodity these days. You have Elite: Dangerous for your exploration and dogfighting, FTL: Faster than Light and its DLCs for your rogue-likes, Star Citizen for all of your hopes and dreams of what you want a space game to be, and a...
Skyhill
A game should never start you out in an unwinnable situation. It sounds obvious, I know, but after a few playthroughs of Skyhill, I found myself thinking the same thing: that no matter how well I play, no matter what I do, I’ll still lose the majority of the time...
Up to the plate, is another couch co-op game, a genre I seem to be reviewing a lot of as of late. Having not been overly impressed with the past titles, I was really hoping that Extreme Exorcism could give me a truly amazing couch co-op experience. Sadly, it did anything but.
