REVIEW – Ritual: Crown of Horns (Switch)
One of my favorite games on the 3DS eShop is a game called Witch And Hero and its sequels. Not only is the pixel art super adorable, the gameplay is insanely addicting. Why is this important here? Well, developer Draw Distance took the overall gameplay mechanics of Circle Entertainment’s title, only layering it with a…
REVIEW – Earthfall: Alien Horde (Switch)
Most easily described as Left4Dead with aliens, Earthfall: Alien Horde is a mindless co-op experience on Switch. This FPS has players controlling one of four characters as they move from one location to the next, being constantly swarmed by alien invaders just like the zombies in the L4D. Unfortunately, the lack of progression and overall…
REVIEW – Door Kickers Action Squad (Xbox One)
Released in 2018 on PC, Door Kickers Action Squad is now available on current consoles. With side-scrolling 2D pixel-based SWAT style gameplay, this action game is best played co-op but offers some stiff and unfair challenges when played solo. You can check out my stream of the original PC version HERE. Pretty much everything said…
VIDEOCAST – House of Golf (Switch)
House of Golf is a Switch eShop exclusive. Instead of putting around a mini golf course, the player putts through holes in home environments. It actually plays a bit like pool and features some 3D creativity. We also got to play with our balls. Enjoy the stream embedded below:
REVIEW – Tracks – The Train Set Game (Xbox One)
Excalibur Games, the team that brought us the glitchy but oddly experimental car driving and maintaining sim Jalopy, is now focusing their attention to another form a land travel with Tracks – The Train Set Game. Nothing more than a digital toy, Tracks suffers from many of the same problems of their other titles. There…

REVIEW – Lornsword Winter Chronicle (Xbox One)
Designed with a home console controller in mind, Lornsword Winter Chronicle is a RTS mixed with slight elements of tower defense. It is a single player story-driven campaign with a larger emphasis on narrative. The slow hour long introduction is essentially one big tutorial but explains the foreign gameplay mechanics and controls well. Playing as…
REVIEW – Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan (Switch)
Looking and playing like an unreleased 8-bit NES game, Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan is a 2D pixel sidescroller that mixes a bit of Metroidvania with Mega Man. With an Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom visual theme, this game carries plenty of personality and retro platforming pleasure. An homage to…
NEWS – AO Tennis 2 announced for early 2020
BIGBEN and Big Ant Studios announced their partnership for the publishing and distribution of AO Tennis 2, the second game in the official Australia Open series. You can read my review of AO International Tennis, the original game, HERE. In AO Tennis 2, tennis fans can take themselves from the outside courts to centre-stage glory…
