Cute Things Dying Violently Review
Cute Things Dying Violently is cute. And it's violent. It's not as terrible as it sounds, but if you've got an itch for a physics-based puzzle-platformer about loveable little creatures being gorily impaled and sliced into thick, meaty chunks, then this may very well be the game to scratch it.Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller – Episode 1: The Hangman Preview
Phoenix Online Studios, the team behind the King's Quest tribute series The Silver Lining, is trying its hand at something new: a supernatural murder-mystery adventure called Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller. Erica Reed isn't your average FBI agent. She has the power of "post-cognition," meaning she can see into the past and witness events as they happened. She's dismissive of the power, even as she uses it to track down criminals, including, she hopes, the serial killer who murdered her brother. But things take an unexpected turn when Reed finds herself on the trail of a killer who appears to have intentionally left behind clues that only she can see.
Gateways Review
On the surface, Gateways, the retro-styled 2D puzzle platformer from the people who brought us the wonderful Adventures of Shuggy, looks like just another day at the office. Start playing, though, and you'll very quickly discover there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. This game is nothing short of amazing.
English Country Tune Review
If you think that a weird, three-dimensional puzzle game that will tax both your spatial reckoning and your patience to their absolute max sounds like fun, then boy, have I got just the thing. It's called English Country Tune, and it'll drive you absolutely crazy. In love or out of your mind? That definitely depends.
LogiGun Review
LogiGun will strike an immediate chord of familiarity with anyone who's played Valve's hit puzzle game Portal. You won't be making any portals, but you will be equipped with guns that allow you to manipulate your environment as you move from one side of bizarrely dangerous rooms to the other, and there's even a passive-aggressive female overseer shadowing your every move and encouraging you to just give up and go home. Fortunately, it shares one other characteristic with the Portal games: it's pretty darn good.
Unmechanical Review
Unmechanical is brilliant. Is that an unreserved recommendation? Alas, it is not. It's a quirky, oddball thing, neither particularly long nor especially challenging. It's a sight-seeing tour with puzzles. I love it. You may not. But you'd be crazy not to at least give it a chance.
