    Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians Review

    By

    Beatbuddy is a difficult game to dislike, and the truth is I don't dislike it. But when I see the game world and hear snippets of the music and think about the idea behind it all, I am disappointed nonetheless. It's close - it's really close - to being something special. But in the end, it just doesn't quite pull it off.

    Spelunky Review

    By

    Spelunky is one of the most wonderful indie success stories you can find. It was previously released back in 2009 as a side project by Derek Yu, a developer who has dedicated much of the last decade of his life to the indie game scene, helping out other developers and generally being a force for good. After the original version of Spelunky proved a roaring success, Yu decided to go ahead and create a full-blown commercial edition of the game - and so we catch up to the present day, where Spelunky is ready and waiting for you to take up the challenge.

    Neverwinter Review

    By

    When it comes to games that are a long time coming, Neverwinter is right up there. With a setting that's been detailed in classic RPG supplements, prior video games, and even novels, the current version got kicked around several times before it (and developer Cryptic Studios) ended up at Perfect World Entertainment. Was the resulting free-to-play MMORPG worth the wait? If you're a casual player into action and instances, the answer is probably yes.

    Nearwood Review

    By

    Nearwood is your next adventure game addiction. From MagicIndie, the team behind the equally superb The Fool, you can expect more than a fair share of smart puzzles, clever mini-games, quirky characters, and beautiful bits of scenery to admire. It's the sort of game you won't want to stop playing until you've extracted every secret it has to offer!

    Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink Review

    By

    Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink is a perfect example of creating a hybrid adventure/hidden object game. Neither genre is relied upon too heavily, creating a nice balance of puzzle solving and exciting diversions. Wrapped in an entertaining story and featuring some fantastic artwork, you won't hesitate playing through the entire game in just a few sittings.

    Grim Tales: Bloody Mary Review

    By

    Childhood is a repository of memories—memories of friends made and dares taken. Who doesn't recall being challenged by a group of trembling chums to turn off the lights, look into a mirror and repeat the words "Bloody Mary" three times? I remember the story of the soul-stealing ghost as one of the creepiest memories of my misspent youth, and it's the basis of Elephant Games spooky but imperfect Grim Tales: Bloody Mary.

    League of Mermaids Review

    By

    League of Mermaids is an enjoyable and addictive match-three puzzle game, but it has more than that going for it. Consider its name. Are there any three words you can put together that sound more epic than "League of Mermaids?" It makes you think of an underwater Justice League-style team that fights crime using robot sharks and razor-edged seashell bras.

    Shadowrun Returns Review

    By

    There's been a fair amount of negative press around Kickstarter and the art of crowdfunding a game recently. We've seen games successfully funded via Kickstarter that have then gone on to receive massive delays; we've seen developers say "we're doing this so that we don't need a publisher!" who have then gone on to immediately use a publisher; we've seen games released with only a small portion of the features that the Kickstarter promised originally; and we've even seen a very small number cancelled outright.
