    Idle Games, the indie studio that brought us the wonderful Idle Worship, is coming back with something completely different: Fresh Deck Poker, a cross-platform, social and mobile poker game that will create an "ultra-realistic, authentic" poker experience with drop-in, drop-out gameplay, fantastic art, multiple game types and, someday, real-money cash to be won.

    Rune Masters Review

    By

    Rune Masters is a game I really wanted to like. It's got some good ideas and a lot of potential, and the core gameplay is challenging and fun. But close, as they say, is no cigar.

    Unmechanical Preview

    By

    Unmechanical is a cute, side-scrolling adventure-puzzle game set in a bizarre realm of mechanical and organic machines, and if the announcement trailer is anything to go by, it could be great.

    Epic Raiders Review

    By

    Epic Raiders is an RPG battle arena in which players form parties of up to four fantasy archetypes, then go head-to-head with monsters and each other on single-screen, 2D battlegrounds. It's cute, but it's not very engaging, and suffers from some pronounced control issues that are likely to leave players frustrated and bored in fairly short order.

    The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav Review

    By

    The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is not a great adventure game. But it is a great adventure story, backed by gorgeous, hand-painted backdrops and dreamy music that all comes together to create a gripping, magical fantasy tale.

    Monster Paradise Review

    By

    The first time I tried a digital collectible card game (or whatever the proper term for the genre is), I had very low expectations yet quickly found myself ensnared by the admittedly Pavlovian gameplay, and I continue to tap for rewards to this very day. But Monster Paradise, despite excellent production values and a powerful, irresistibly cute Pokemon aesthetic, leaves me cold. It's not necessarily a bad game, it's just not particularly necessary.

    Soccer Superstars 2012 Review

    By

    I'm not a soccer fan myself, so my vague hope was that Soccer Superstars 2012 would keep it simple. Some running, some kicking of the ball, and maybe the option to spend a bit of money to make the goalie a little less useless. But no such luck. I knew I was in deep when the tutorial went on, and on, and on... and on. Not unnecessarily, mind you, and it wasn't digging down into the nitty-gritty details by any measure. There's just that much material to cover.
