A digital novel with a minimalistic visual style and gameplay, Dull Grey is a cold tale about oppression, opportunities, and choices. It isn’t often a game this dark fully absorbs its namesake. There isn’t much game here as the player only selects one of two options at certain points of the narrative. Taking the role…

The Skylia Prophecy (Xbox One) Review
At a glance, 7 Raven Studios/Ezekiel Rage’s The Skylia Prophecy’s 16-bit visuals might look like a new Castlevania Symphony of the Night but it actually feels like it took more inspiration from the original NES TMNT game. The side-scrolling 2D sprite-based visuals, disjointed combat, and steep difficulty often takes a one step forward, two steps…
Everything you need to know about GBC Rumble Pak games
The US saw a total of 16 officially released Gameboy Color games with the Rumble Pak built directly into the cartridge.

Super Meat Boy Forever (Xbox One) Review with stream
While there has always been difficult platformers, Super Meat Boy brought this challenging genre to the limelight and now the term “Meat Boy-like” infers to something that is very difficult, sort of like the saying “this is the Dark Souls of X.” Super Meat Boy Forever is a sequel that still is very much a…

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. When I saw the tweet, I knew I had to respond as I simply wanted to help. Providing many name suggestions, some intentionally bad for…
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…
