A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
One of the most bizarre games I have played in recent memory, God Damn the Garden is a PSOne style first person shooter set in an oddly occupied world. The purposely vague environment and storytelling definitely makes the gameplay experience mysterious but also confusing and frustrating. If the goal was to make a new PSOne-style […]
With obvious inspiration from Tecmo’s Mighty Bombjack series, Super Jagger Bomb is a one note, repetitive arcade-like experience with little to offer. Playing as some dude in a weird hook nose mask, the goal is to collect all the balloons for each of the game’s 100 available stages. With no offensive capabilities whatsoever, the player […]
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is the latest Soulsborn release but it has one key difference from this now crowded genre – humor. While the gameplay is still very much a die-try-again, at least you’ll have a chuckle along the way. Very much self-aware, the game’s narrator guides the clueless player through the game both […]
Little Kong: Jungle Fun is a very simple auto-runner without any replayability. Sure, there is a local high score table that monitors the top 5 scores and the stage design changes slightly with each run, but it is a mindless one-button experience marred with technical issues. Playing as a gorilla with a bouncing hat, it […]
A budget release set at $4.99, Car Mechanic Pinball puts a creative spin on classic Pinball gameplay. Instead of flicking a ball against bumpers, the player uses flippers to launch a car into pacing car mechanics and gas canisters. Hit the mechanics enough times to fix the car then park it on the side of […]
Seep, the makers of Swords & Bones, have released another retro-style action platformer follow-up called Roar or Revenge. Controlling a sword swinging barbarian that looks like Conan, it is your job to collect some sacred treasures and smite evil. With one button to attack and another to jump, the experience remains simple and reminds me […]
For a $4.99 top-down billiards title, it is hard to knock Casual Challenge Players’ Club too hard for trying something a little different. Instead of supporting standard 8-Ball or 9-Ball rulesets, the game puts more approachable, but still highly challenging, pool tasks against the player. The main mode places a handful of preset balls on […]
Created by the same team that released the indie hit A Robot Named Fight along with a YouTuber, C.A.R.L. is a classic platforming action game that takes a lot of notes from retro DOS titles like Jazz Jackrabbit and even Cave Story. It is a new, retro-style game well done and has plenty of personality […]
Originally released over a decade ago in the Indies section of the Xbox 360 dashboard, Game Type was a title made in protest over Microsoft’s updated dashboard interface. Indie games were tucked away in a corner and the title “Game Type” wouldn’t exactly display the most desirable results when performing a search. Needless to say, […]
A dark and moody 2D side-scrolling action title, Moonscars wears is Souls-like inspiration on its sleeve. This is a title that takes is visuals just as seriously as its challenging gameplay, telling a mysterious tale about one’s purpose in a broken world. The story is specifically presented in a way that refrains from giving away […]
