Overall though, Ninja Pizza Girl is a thoroughly enjoyable game while it lasts, despite a few frustrations. Its biggest achievement is that it manages to capture the essence and momentum of Mirror’s Edge on a 2D plane, but it should also be applauded for its clear anti-bullying message. If you’re...
I have a lot of games. Mentally, I’ve organised them into ones I know I’m not going to play after the post-buy enthusiasm has wore off, ones that I might if I’m desperate/in certain moods and ones that I will play now and in the future. Necropolis is firmly in...
It might rub some people up the wrong way in light of the current sensitivity surrounding US law enforcement, but it should be said that, while it might exhibit less tact in dealing with some of those situations that hit closer to home, This Is The Police still gives the...
Spy Chameleon is a novel, entertaining and creative title that is well-designed and fully captivating. The game’s challenging difficulty in combination with its well-constructed levels and ingenious central mechanic make for an experience that is engaging and difficult, but nearly always fair. Spy Chameleon’s quirky premise and humorous tone, in addition...
A minimalist playthrough from start to finish proves a medium-length experience, but if one wants to find all the secrets and pathways and locations, Hunter’s Legacy becomes a really immersive proposition, one that rivals even AAA RPG titles. The price of the game is highly reasonable given how fun it is...
If I was to be picky I’d maybe say that perhaps the controls aren’t quite as tight as they could be, but otherwise it’s really hard to find a genuine fault with 10 Second Ninja X. The visuals are clean and colourful, the music is rather nice, and there’s an...
Obviously Gal*Gun Double Peace is a niche game that will alienate many players due to its strange premise and questionable gameplay systems. The fact of the matter is though, that it’s a great deal of fun of play. Its strength is its outlandishness, and whilst sometimes you do feel a...
Kerbal Space Program exceeds expectation in every possible way. It goes without saying that a disclaimer of “Not For Everyone” is slapped over this game, and you shouldn’t come into this game thinking it’ll suit you because you like space. But it is undeniably victorious in its effort to capture...
Although this review possesses a rather negative tone, I did enjoy my time with Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII. It is a surprisingly easy game to pick up and play, and I rarely found myself bored during the 25 hours of game time. Saying that, XIII fails to be the best at anything...
All told, Crush Your Enemies is a great combination of depth and simplicity. Varied levels with unique challenges provide several hours of entertainment with a consistent, witty tone. Whether you prefer your games creatively bite-sized or just want to take a break from a game that’s been sucking up all...
Like its charming pixelated graphics that ooze character and its annoyingly mesmerising dubstep soundtrack, Super Mutant Alien Assault is an acquired taste. For many players it may be a bit sour, leaving them with the contorted face of bitterness and displeasure. Those looking for a simple but serious challenge, however,...
This is almost certainly the fanboy in me talking but I Am Setsuna deserves more. In 1995 Square brought together five top artists in the industry and gave them whatever they needed to produce the greatest game ever made. Two decades later their legacy is being used to timidly test fan nostalgia...
