Flowing Lights (Xbox One) ReviewFlowing Lights mixes a few genres that do not normally belong together into a package that is unique and challenging. Dubbed an arcade puzzle action shooter, this is a different take on the shmup-style gameplay. Although there are plenty of things to destroy, the meat of the gameplay revolves around puzzle-heavy level design infused with […]

Blastful (PS4) ReviewSold for only $3.99, Blastful is one part twin-stick action and one part vertical scroller. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do either particularly well.

Grood (Xbox One) ReviewGrood is a highly difficult 2D horizontal shooter. Other than a time slowing mechanic, there are no other highlighting features making this an average shooter at best. The game has three difficulty settings: hard, hard, and hard (literally). Having a stiff difficulty setting doesn’t make the game extra fun, unfortunately. Instead of offering a genuine […]

Aircraft Evolution (Xbox One) ReviewSometimes You is continuing their trend of releasing bite sized arcade-style action games that can be finished in one longer gaming session but best played in short bursts. Instead of being a Bomberman clone like Explosive Jake, or a dastardly action platformer like Awesome Pea, Aircraft Evolution separates itself from the other titles in the […]
