A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES

The Meaning Of Life How far would you go to be with the ones you love the most? This question is the driving force behind the main character as he tries to resurrect his dead wife, literally digging her up from her grave, stealing a spaceship James Bond-style, and traveling to a distance planet rumored […]
Been There, Done That Playing as a blob running from the void, a purple fog that absorbs everything it touches, the goal is ultimately to get from one side of the screen to the other. Like Limbo or Typoman, Nihilumbra, a $7.99 digital download, is a moody puzzle platformer with a distinct visual presentation. Unfortunately, […]
Please Bounce Off A Cliff Using only a single button, Bouncy Bob deserves some credit for a creative approach but ultimately suffers from frustrating gameplay. From a 2D side scrolling perspective, the goal is to jump on the heads of the randomly spawning enemies that mindlessly move back and forth throughout the arena. However, the […]
Aces Are Not Wild Rogue Aces by Curve Digital and Infinite State Games is a punishingly difficult arcade title geared toward earning a high score and completing mission objects in succession. It might take some inspiration from old school shooters like Defender but there are definitely enough unique gameplay elements to separate itself within the […]
The Poop Deck Despite releasing a couple half-way decent games on 3DS (AiRace Speed and AiRace Xeno), Qubic Games is tarnishing their reputation by releasing laughably bad Nintendo Switch games such as Astro Bears Party, Brawl, Mad Carnage , and Grid Mania. Pirates: All Aboard! continues the trend of poor quality and might even be […]
A Playable Cartoon Not only does The Adventure Pals look like a Saturday morning cartoon, it plays like one too. Never taking itself seriously from a narrative or gameplay standpoint, this is a pleasurable, casual action platformer that does not overstay its welcome and offers plenty of humor along the way. Playing as boy with […]
Castle of Frustration With gameplay straight out of the 8-bit era, Castle of Heart is a straightforward action game that involves running from left to right, avoiding tedious traps, and killing anything that approaches from a 2D perspective; think old school Mega Man or Ghosts and Goblins for comparison. The gimmick here is the cursed […]
Sneaking By Taking cues from the original Metal Gear titles, I, ZOMBIE is all about sneaking around a stationary map to turn humans into zombies, adding numbers to your attack horde, in a sort of half puzzle half strategy game. Besides sneaking and knowing the right time to attack, the other gimmick is controlling your […]
Has Nothing To Do With Nintendo Inspired by brutally difficult platformers like Super Meat Boy and The End Is Nigh, Switch: Or Die Trying implements some unique ideas but ultimately winds up being a frustrating controller smasher. Each level might be focused on reaching the end but really the meat of gameplay is all about […]
Exceling Battleship Grid Mania is a puzzle game built around trial and error. Playing like a 2D Rubik’s Cube, the goal is to move different colored balls on an Excel spreadsheet to their corresponding colored cell. Moving balls from the right side of the screen will make them appear on the left side and the […]
