Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians Review
Rhythm is but an everyday part of life in Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians. Plants and wildlife perpetually create music while the citizenry speak through vaguely melodic gibberish, some even moving in in time with the beat. Beatbuddy is hardly a full-on rhythm game – more exploration with occasional action phases – but it permeates…
Ibb & Obb Review
Depending on how you play Ibb & Obb, it will either be a delightful game of jolly cooperation or an exercise in multitasking hell. Despite its inviting looks, Ibb & Obb is a deceitfully challenging game. It’s cooperative-based platforming requires coordination on a grand scale, as well as extreme dexterity should you play solo. Guiding…
Race The Sun Preview
Race The Sun is a sort of open-world take on the endless runner. In it, you control a solar powered hover-craft and attempt to collect as many tris – blue, wireframe pyramids – as you can to get the highest score possible before the sun sets. The game is currently in open beta, so I…
A Look At: Runner 2’s Good Friends Character Pack
Most downloadable content is too miniscule to devote a complete review to. But sometimes we still want to highlight such an add-on or two. Thus, A Look At: a sort of mini-review/impressions piece or whatever term you prefer for when we wish to highlight DLC, general post-release updates for games (say, Monaco’s recent level editor),…
Indie Game: The Movie Impressions
In today’s world, with so many gigantic, million selling, big budget games, it’s easy to forget how difficult it can be for someone to actually sit down and make one of them. Every year, we get dozens and dozens of options to play and enjoy, which for most, is more than enough of a reason…
Gun Monkeys Review
In the distant future, the human race is wiped from the Earth following a failed perpetual energy experiment. Well, technically it succeeded – energy now rains from the sky – but the whole everyone being dead thing kinda puts a damper on it. Not that it’s going to stop clever entrepreneurs like yourself. In Gun…
Gun Monkeys Impressions
Haven’t played enough of the game to feel comfortable reviewing Gun Monkeys yet (connectivity issues – mine and the game’s own – have been preventing me from finding many games, random or otherwise), but I’ve been itching to write, so… yeah. Impressions! Enjoy. Procedurally-generated maps is a brilliant idea for a multiplayer game. Keeps every…
The Walking Dead: 400 Days Review
It’s a testament to Telltale Games’ skill as developers that they’re able to continuously craft interesting and believable characters. Very important for a franchise that thrives on character drama such as The Walking Dead. Last year’s inaugural season delivered spectacularly on this front. Everyone – from regulars to one-off individuals – felt real, relatable. But…
E3 2013 – Murdered: Soul Suspect Preview
It’s easy to point out clichés in any sort of media. Videogames are no different. Putting ghosts and a murder mystery is what Murdered: Soul Suspect is all about. Taking place in Salem, Murdered stars detective Ronan O’Connor. Unluckily for Ronan, things aren’t looking up for him. He was just killed. While death is usually…
