Little Mouse’s Encyclopedia (Xbox One) Review with stream
Developed by the same artists that created Under Leaves, a casual search-n-find game, Little Mouse’s Encyclopedia uses the same water painted art style, whimsical soundtrack, and overall laid back experience to create a game that isn’t really a game at all. This by no means is a mark against its quality just understand this is…
I got to name a creature in the upcoming 2D platformer 7Horizons
RedDeerGames, who released titles such at Clumsy Rush, Brawl Chess, Cyber Protocol, and Under Leaves, recently asked Twitter to name a cute little dinosaur-like creature for their upcoming platformer 7Horizons.

Bite The Bullet (Xbox One) Review
From the developers that created the new Genesis game Coffee Crisis, Bite the Bullet is a side scrolling action title sort of like Contra but with a twist – you can eat your foes when they are defeated. That’s right. Humans, flying drones, alien gross zombie creature things, it doesn’t matter. You can eat them…
Cannon Brawl (Xbox One) Review
Cannon Brawl takes the harvesting mechanic of an RTS game, blends it with tower defense placement and upgrades, and incorporates the 2D wild action of Worms (or Scorched Earth) into a combination that is unique and addicting. The small development team took the best features of these more niche genres and created something special. There…

Moon Raider (Switch) Review
Instead of raiding tombs, Moon Raider is about collecting gems within a lunar environment to save your moon-based mother. Although playable with enjoyment, there are some quirks that hold back this downloadable Metroidvania-lite. Moon Raider is sort of a Metroidvania-lite because you don’t gain a tremendous amount of new abilities throughout the campaign. The world…
