    Aerena: Clash of Champions Review

    By

    Aerena is a free-to-play game of strategy, where being two moves ahead of your opponent is the key to victory, much like Chess. But where Chess is a medieval-themed game, with knights and kings and queens, Aerena (or Ærena as the developers sometimes spell it) is a silly blend of steampunk and Saturday morning cartoons.With players selecting three out of ten characters as their champions, they must do their best to destroy the enemy player's massive battleship. Where chess is a calm game of strategy, Aerena is more akin to a Monster Truck Show, with champions blasting one another to pieces all while an announcer shouts out the entrances of additional champions to the fight.The reasoning for the titular "arena" misspelling is apparent as soon as the battlefield is glimpsed. Taking place in the aether, or Æther (get it now?), of the realm, the conflict is high above the earth, literally within the clouds. Each player has their own giant warship (currently there are five in the game to choose from) and must destroy their opponent's ship in the ensuing battle.

    Toy Rush Walkthrough

    By

    Toy Rush is a tower offense/defense game with some collectible card game elements developed by Uber Entertainment. Though the toys may look cute, they're pretty formidable once the fighting starts, which is why you'll want to know your Bowlerpuffs from your Fin Doctors before you find your own base under attack. Gamezebo's quick start strategy guide will help get you ready with images, tips, information and hints.

    Toy Rush Review

    By

    If the Toy Story movies taught us anything, it's that toys have minds of their own. It might be more than one step from free will to organized tower attack and defense drills, but Toy Rush skips everything in-between and gives us toys battling toys with a collectible card game element thrown in for good measure. It's as zany as it sounds, yet it'll have you sending toys to their doom by the dozens without even batting an eye.Toy Rush manages to nail the balance that many games seek but can't find: it makes its core mechanics simple to learn but challenging to master. Each toy in your collection is represented by a card, and when you are on the attack, you simply drag cards onto the starting point of the level in question and watch your playthings go to work.

    ReignMaker Review

    By

    I have a confession to make: I didn't play Tower of Elements. As a big fan of match-3 genre mashups - and more importantly, match-3 genre mashups that try something new - this is a fact I'm pretty ashamed of. But over the last week, that shame has lessened.I've fallen in love with ReignMaker, better known during its development cycle as Tower of Elements II. As you can probably expect from a game with a previous moniker such as this, the core gameplay should be familiar to anyone who enjoyed the original Tower of Elements. Players will defend their tower (tower… defense?) using match-3 magic. Each match you make will send bolts of magic flying horizontally down the lane that the matched gems occupy. If an advancing enemy is coming down that lane, they'll take damage and ultimately die.It may sound simple on paper, but it's maddeningly fast-paced in execution. You'll be dealing with a large grid of gems, and the enemies won't slow down just because you're having trouble making that perfect match. ReignMaker is a game of quick thinking; of keeping an eye on marching enemies while struggling desperately to find the matches that will obliterate them.

    Hitman GO Review

    By

    Agent 47, or Jonathan Hitman as I like to call him, is an assassin with a heart. He may garrote goons with piano wires taken from actual pianos and dump their bodies in children's ball pits, but he usually does so for some contrive good reason. I think the previous games involved clones or …something?You know what? It doesn't matter. Hitman GO is nothing like the games from which it derives. It's a board game - several board games, according to the main menu. You move the titular hitter of men across prescribed grids like a game piece while other pieces representing civilians and thugs of various orders patrol and/or survey the board to knock him over. The hitman always moves first, and moving into an opposing piece from behind or the sides will knock them over instead.That's literally all there is to the game. It's as minimalist as 47's own well-waxed dome, and far more appealing to look at than Timothy Olyphant's.

    Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance Review

    By

    Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance is something called a "lane strategy game," and yes, that's "lane," not "lame," although truth be told... well, never mind. I don't want to spoil any surprises, and it's not an awful game by any stretch. It's just not very good, as either a strategy game or a Warhammer title."Lane strategy games," as far as I can tell, are those in which enemy forces approach one another on a battlefield composed of - you guessed it - lanes, meeting and clashing in a kind of a "Showdown at the O.K. Bowling Alley." Plants vs. Zombies is probably the best-known (and quite possibly the only known) example of the genre, and it's the game that most quickly springs to mind as a comparison. Sadly, that's not because Storm of Vengeance shares that game's wit, artistry or excitement - it doesn't. The resemblance is purely mechanical and, as I soon discovered, somewhat superficial.Rather than an attack-and-defend scenario, in this game the player and the AI-controlled enemy send forces against each other, one side representing the Dark Angel Space Marines and the other the Ork Waaagh!, each occupying opposite ends of a battlefield composed of five lanes. Units are created by collecting and spending resources - Redemption for the Space Marines, Teef for the Orks - and can be immediately sent on their way or stored, in very limited numbers, for later use.

    Smite Walkthrough

    By

    With over fifty gods and goddesses (all with their own unique abilities) and tons of items that offer stat modifications to all of those gods and goddesses, Smite is initially a very complicated game. Add to that game modes that already have their own metagames ingrained in the culture of the playerbase, and new players are instantly out of the loop.Smite isn't like the typical top-down click-and-run MOBAs either. Because Smite utilizes an over-the-shoulder camera perspective the majority of attacks and abilities require a good bit of aiming and skill. Fear not though, I've been playing Smite for well over a year, and after hundreds of hours spent destroying some of the most intense gods from ancient pantheons, I'm here to report to you on just how easy mastering Smite can be.
