    G.I. JOE: BATTLEGROUND Review

    By

    Oh no! It's G.I. Joe! More specifically, it's the collectible card game G.I. Joe: Battleground, and I'm not saying "oh no" in clever imitation of a hopelessly outmatched Cobra soldier: I'm saying it because the game is yet another clone CCG  based on a line of popular 80s toys that have found new life on the big screen.

    Jack Keane 2 – The Fire Within Review

    By

    Sometimes the simplest approach is the best, and thus I will put this as simply as possible: Jack Keane 2 - The Fire Within is a mess. It's a glitchy, half-baked production that might pass muster as a late beta, but has no business pretending to be ready for release.

    Magrunner: Dark Pulse Review

    By

    I have no idea what led the developers at Frogwares to come up with the idea for Magrunner: Dark Pulse, a first-person puzzler that blends high-tech sci-fi gameplay with the interdimensional horrors of the Cthulhu mythos, but I have happy news for gamers who were hopeful that it would live up to its promise: it's not perfect, but it's pretty good stuff.

    From the minds that brought you Towelfight 2: The Monocle of Destiny comes Quadropus Rampage, an "endless rogue-like brawler" starring an octopus with four arms and his pet starfish Bingo, as the duo undertake an epic and awesome quest to strike down Pete, the wicked God of the Sea.

    7 Grand Steps Review

    By

    The circle of life; the wheel of time; the world goes 'round: they all apply to 7 Grand Steps, an absolutely fascinating strategy game that follows the long legacy of a single family over many generations and centuries, as it struggles to uplift itself from the humblest of beginnings to the upper echelons of power in the ancient world. More board game than video game, it's a slow and thoughtful look at the cycle of life and the machinations of history - and it will very likely ensnare you for hours.

    Warhammer Quest Review

    By

    When you get right down to it, Warhammer Quest is a fairly straightforward action-RPG that's set in a generic fantasy world. This is actually good news though, because despite taking place in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, familiarity with that setting - which many potential players, myself included, completely lack - isn't necessary to enjoy it. The better news is that you will enjoy it, because while it may not be particularly revolutionary, it is extremely well-refined.

    Mansion Run Review

    By

    Mansion Run is a simple "endless runner" in which you play as a dapper skeleton named Bones Wellington, who must flee from a gang of ghosts while dodging haunted furniture and collecting the bones that are lying around his mansion. It'll put your reflexes to the test, but aside from a steady increase in obstacles and speed, what you see in the first 30 seconds of play is quite literally what - and all - you get.
