2016. There’s nothing to be said that hasn’t already been said, and I don’t want to drag down what should be a celebration of the year in video games. But the fact is 2016 wasn’t pleasant, to put it mildly. Thankfully, what was generally a disastrous year for the world was actually a rather good…
It’s the end of the year, and you know that means: it’s time for Game of the Year! We decided to forego the usual route of side-wide awards, however, and instead simply post our own picks. Today, Callum stops by with his top ten list of games for the year. Why a top ten list?…
Translating tailor-made computer games to consoles is a difficult task, as the many attempts to bring those tried and true titles to another platform over the years that have turned out to be less than stellar can attest to.

This lacklustre take on the sub-genre disappoints with its boring shooting and poor handling of custom tracks.
I’m always in awe when a game comes out in this day and age that manages to confound me as much as La-Mulana 2 has so far. Like its predecessor, developer Nigoro’s long in development puzzle-platformer is a game about discovery and having to work your ass off for it. It’s can be positively exhilarating…
Deliver At All Costs has an overwritten, uninvolving tale undermines a solid driving game.
The underlying concept of Flat Kingdom’s gameplay is really neat: you control a character that can’t directly attack enemies, but by changing shapes, it can counter their attacks and defeat them.
