    Perspective Review

    You may or may not know this, but both of Valve's hugely popular Portal games were based on ideas from students at DigiPen, a college based in Redmond, Washington that seems to churn out the most incredible video game designers annually. The original Portal was based on a student game called Narbacular Drop, while the second title was inspired by another DigiPen game called Tag: The Power of Paint.

    KRUNCH Review

    I often have this strange urge to play overly-challenging indie games that I know will make me scream out in anger over and over again. Titles like Super Meat Boy and VVVVVV are difficult as hell, yet overcoming them gives me this incredible sense of victory that cannot be matched elsewhere in the video game world.

    Take My Machete Review

    The funny thing about aliens is that we, the human race, have come up with this idea of what they look like, based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever - merely a concept passed through the ages. You can imagine that if we finally do meet beings from another place, they're going to catch us completely off guard by looking nothing like what we thought they would.

    Dungelot Review

    By

    I didn't really "get" Dungelot at first. It's a grid-based roguelike that feels very inspired by IGF winner Desktop Dungeons, in which you delve deeper and deeper into the dark demonic realms, slaying enemies and grabbing loot - all by simply clicking on squares.

    Maldita Castilla Review

    By

    Maldita Castilla, the latest release from the wonderful Locomalito, plays like Shinobi and looks like Ghosts'n Goblins. However you look at it, this retro-styled indie game echoes its old school inspirations superbly, and provides what many indie platforms as of late have been missing - variety.

    Street Fighter X Mega Man Review

    You often hear about fan projects being shut down with a carefully placed cease and desist notice from the company that they're aiming to mimic and praise. On the one hand, you can sort of understand - the big publisher simply wants to protect its property. On the other, it's a shame to see a fan's hard work and dedication to their gaming love go to waste.

    The Pyraplex Review

    By

    The Pyraplex looks a lot like Mega Mall Story to begin with, but rapidly shows itself to be something completely new and different from Kairosoft. We're not sure how the studio keeps managing to churn out greatness, but we're not going to complain either.

    Vorp! Review

    By

    Vorp feels like it could have been released 10 years ago. We don't mean that in a bad way at all; rather, it's an indication of how far this sort of team-based space battler has come over the last decade - that is, not very far at all. The moment you jump into Vorp, it feels sort of familiar and safe, and for this reason the game never really reaches lofty heights.
