    Naked Gun: I.C.U.P. Review

    By

    Naked Gun: I.C.U.P. is a crushing disappointment. As a long-time Police Squad fan, I was really looking forward to this videogame reincarnation of the classic comedy franchise. But the gameplay is dull and uninspired, it's plagued with bugs and worst of all, it's just not funny.

    Divina Preview

    By

    The free-to-play MMO scene is already pretty crowded, but Divinia's backstory is certainly intriguing. With Yggdrasil dying because of a war between the Gods, led by Odin, and the Demons, commanded by Loki, it's up to the last surviving humans to enter the Gate of Time and return to the past, where they will fight to stave off Ragnarok and save their home.

    Empire of the Eclipse Preview

    By

    First things first: In videogame terms, "4X" does not mean "four times" but literally four Xes - explore, expand, exploit and exterminate - and is used to describe massive, sweeping strategy epics. The upcoming Empire of the Eclipse looks poised to bring that sort of heavyweight gameplay experience to iOS hardware, putting players in charge of a fledgling empire as it takes its first steps into the stars.

    DragonCraft Review

    By

    To put it bluntly, there's not much meat on the DragonCraft strategy bone. It's a pretty game, and at first glance it looks like there's a lot to do here, but it doesn't take long to realize that you're not the one giving the orders, you're following them.

    KingsRoad Preview

    By

    Princess Emma has gone missing, and once-loyal knights conspire to seize power while all manner of bandits and beasts terrorize the kingdom! It's not yet in beta testing, but the upcoming KingsRoad, a Diablo-esque action-RPG epic set in the troubled fantasy realm of Deveral, already looks amazing. Players will battle enemies and collect gold and treasure in a world that spans forests, mountains and more - and yet it's all entirely Flash-based and takes place in a browser.

    Ravensword: Shadowlands Preview

    By

    Three years is a long time to wait for a follow-up to a hit mobile game, but in the case of Ravensword 2 it may very well be worth it. Screenshots of the upcoming iOS action-RPG are absolutely stunning, as the game takes full advantage of new technology like multi-core CPUs and Retina displays to generate the kind of visuals you'd expect to see from a contemporary console RPG.

    The Adventures of Shuggy Preview

    By

    Shuggy is a vampire who's inherited a great, grey Scottish mansion from his grandfather. That's the good news; the bad news is that it's infested with ghosts, zombies and other such unpleasantness, and in The Adventures of Shuggy it's his job to clean it out by collecting gems, finding keys and unlocking more of the many rooms in the huge mansions, so he can do it all over again.

    Snark Busters: High Society Review

    By

    Snark Busters: High Society is a letdown. It cleaves closely to the mechanics of the Snark Busters franchise but the qualities that made the first game great, and the second game near-great, turn out to be almost as elusive as the Snark itself.
