A Weak Halo Entry.

I played through the entire Master Chief Collection, one game at a time, in order. I don’t often finish playing video games I start, so this was a personal challenge — I succeeded. It was great fun revisiting these games, some I hadn’t properly played …

Where it all began.

The first ever Halo game was a cash cow for Microsoft and was often the reason why people bought the original Xbox. The story of a space marine that saves the galaxy was a huge draw, as video game fans everywhere donned their own body armour. It was pr …

I died!

Axolotl is Dry is a game I bought for sale for one cent on the Nintendo store, with no tax included. While that didn’t make cents, the game is surprisingly not terrible. The game follows the cute adventures of an adorable creature, whom you must guide. …

90s nostalgia/grind

I’ve been greatly enjoying 90s inspired games, and Exodemon is no exception. In truth, Exodemon is astoundingly simplistic but no worse for wear. It’s a retro FPS style, like old school DOOM or Wolfenstein, with one large difference, and some other nea …

Limited fun.

Splash Blast Panic has a lot of unreached potential. The gameplay is great, yet the lack of options severely limits it. This is thoroughly a party game, a fun experience for friends getting together, but otherwise the game is severely bare bones. I bea …

Picture this if you will…

The main draw in Beasts of Maravilla Island is deep exploration in a lush world, as you take pictures of cute animals, plants, and insects. The art style reminds me of ABZU which is a positive, though graphically speaking, this game isn’t so impressive …

Biblical violence for kids!

Try as I might, I have never found another game like Captain Bible in Dome of Darkness – maybe it’s because the concept is ridiculous. You begin the game on a holy quest: a solitary, superhero-like figure with a cape must stop the evil cybers who have …

Flawed, but decent fun.

Skycadia is a retro inspired, arcade style, dogfighting game. You will take a plane to the sky, unlocking characters as you progress – a package deal that comes with a new plane and weapon. Skycadia is a very challenging game. Large ships will constant …

Memories of an extinct game…

Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island is a whimsical 3D platformer, complete with a sidekick that follows you around, and a goofy villain constantly giving wonderfully annoying radio chatter. The dialogue is campy fun, perfect for this childhoo …

An atlas better left lost.

I like to buy an indie game here and there. There are plenty of indie games that deserve accolades and a time in the limelight – Whipseey is not one of them. It’s not the worst game I’ve ever played, but it’s in my top 20 worst games. On paper, it look …

Platforming as it should be.

Retro style 2D platformers are a dime a dozen. I can’t tell you how many I’ve tried out only to discover they were trash, but I can tell you Savage Halloween is superior. You pick one of three characters and jump right into a pixelated world reminiscen …
