A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Based on Chinese mythology and with an art style that sort of looks like a Vanillaware game, Bladed Fury, released by PM Studios, is a 2D action game that has an appreciated uncomplicatedness to it.

Say No! More is literally an on-rails saying “no” simulator. Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds but the humorous presentation carries a very serious message.

SHING!, released by Mass Creation and PixelHeart, is a side-scrolling beat’em up brawler that deserves a bit of recognition for trying something new even though its stand-out feature results in its biggest downfall. Instead of tapping buttons to perform light and strong attacks, all fighting is handled by knocking the right analog stick. This is […]
