Karoshi — Review

We’ve all been there; the daily grind, the annoying boss, the painful monotony that drags you down. Whilst the majority of us deal with this by jumping onto our favourite consoles and unleashing a wave of hot lazer vengeance, some people, like in Karoshi, choose to deal with this by simply ending…

Prison Ball — Review

Some game genres defy all attempts to add a story to the game. One example being the breakout style game, were you use a paddle to hit a ball to destroy some bricks. Prison Ball doesn’t attempt a story but neither does the name make much sense.

Tiny Wings — Review

The App Store is at once really annoying and really amazing. It’s annoying because there are so many games thrown at it that it can be hard to sort the wheat from the chaff. And then an absolute gem rises to the surface thanks to word of mouth like it has with Tiny Wings.

Home Sweet Home 2: Kitchens — Review

Two of the most annoying words that can be used when discussing video games are casual and hardcore. It’s not so much the words but the internet bile that they produce. They are also very easy labels to apply to games. Case in point: Home Sweet Home 2: Kitchens is…

Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles HD — Review

A problem inherent to new platforms with new controls and such is that you tend to get the platform being made to fit to games rather than the games being made to fit the platform. With this in mind, say hello to the unholy combination of the…

Eternal Legacy HD — Review

The phrase “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” is something that the world of video games has taken to heart. No other genre applies this rule like the Japanese Role Playing Game (JRPG) and Eternal Legacy HD is a prime example of this both in a good and a bad way.

Kung Fu LIVE — Review

So, Microsoft are asking you to spend £130 or so for a Kinect camera for your 360. Did you know Sony can sell you a PlayStation Eye camera for £30 or so which can do the same thing? Well, if you have a big enough front room. And it’s well lit. And if you buy Kung-Fu LIVE from the PSN…

Ultimate Spider-Man Total Mayhem HD — Review

Spider-Man can, indeed, do whatever a spider can. However, spiders are regularly in good video games whereas Spider-Man only gets one once in a blue moon. Now he comes to the iPad in Ultimate Spider-Man Total Mayhem HD, will this game be added to the…

kaSmash — Review

kaSmash. It’s a great name for a video game, that’s for certain. It sums up the whole thing in one nice little word that’s a little bit too fun to say: kaSmash! The main question is if that’s all the game has to offer or is there a little bit more to it than that?
