Depths of Fear :: Knossos PC Game Reviews

Depths of Fear :: Knossos

There are plenty of things that I can fault about Depths of Fear, but at the end of the day and I had a lot of fun playing the game and it kept me hooked right to the end which is all that matters. It is an impressive piece of work considering that it was made by only one person and definitely provides a unique and memorable challenge. The excellent atmosphere and addictive gameplay makes it worth the effort.

Gameplay: A nice atmospheric blend of stealth and action.

Graphics: A little rough, especially the animations, but this doesn’t detract too much from the experience.

Sound: Great creature sounds and a very nice synthesizer based soundtrack

Concursion PC Game Reviews

Concursion

Concursion is definitely a game that will defy expectations. It is not as straightforward as it first appears and the way that five different genres have been combined seamlessly is impressive to say the least. Individually none of the genres would really have stood out, but mixed together they offer gameplay experiences that are just not possible elsewhere. While the visuals are not that great the audio is superb and Concursion offers plenty of challenging content. This is not a game that you will be completing in a hurry.

Gameplay: A challenging, but addictive blend of five different genres and styles.

Graphics: Plenty of variety, but I’m not a big fan of the visual style.

Sound: The soundtrack is great and seamlessly changes along with the playing styles

Burnout Revenge Console Reviews

Burnout Revenge

There are some interesting new additions to the Burnout formula here and taking out rival cars is every bit as fun as it was in the last game. The traffic checking feature might upset some fans as it removes a bit of the tension from the races but its a lot of fun and overall Burnout Revenge is a worthy successor to Takedown.

Gameplay: Adds some new elements to the Burnout formula, some better than others.

Graphics: Gritty and destructive.

Sound: Solid sound effects and some nice music

Sound of Drop – fall into poison – PC Game Reviews

Sound of Drop – fall into poison –

Sound of Drop offers a captivating, horror-themed experience that is worlds away from the typical romance visual novels on Steam. Although it contains some blood and gore, most of the really gruesome scenes are left to the imagination instead of depicted visually. The multitude of endings adds to the replay value, and there are even some great new additions compared to the original Japanese version of the game.

Gameplay: The story is absorbing and features plenty of choices.

Graphics: The game features excellent character designs and beautiful backgrounds.

Sound: While the game lacks speech, the music and sound effects are great

Asphalt Urban GT Handheld Reviews

Asphalt Urban GT

I really wanted to like this game and be convinced that the DS is capable of an awesome 3D racing game but Asphalt Urban GT is a severe letdown. The graphics look downright low budget on certain levels and the bizarre collision detection makes the races more frustrating than fun. The audio is also a bit of a lost cause. Unless you can get it for very cheap and have nothing better I can’t recommend this.

Gameplay: Had potential but lots of technical glitches.

Graphics: A decent effort but suffers from being a N-Gage port.

Sound: Repetitive car sounds and lackluster music

Guilty Gear X Advance Edition Gameboy Advance Game Reviews

Guilty Gear X Advance Edition

I must admit that I had more fun that I expected with this port of the game. The visuals and sound let it down but the gameplay remains solid. It is a lot easier than the other versions which is bad if you are experienced with the game and good if you have struggled to get anywhere with the other games. Nevertheless fighting games on the go don’t get much better than this on GBA.

Gameplay: This actually comes close to the bigger versions except for the vastly reduced difficulty.

Graphics: Tiny characters and bland backgrounds but at least everything is recognizable.

Sound: As bad as you would expect from the Gameboy Advance

The Last Tinker™: City of Colors PC Game Reviews

The Last Tinker™: City of Colors

If you remember the golden era of 3D adventure titles such as Zelda, Jak and Daxter and Banjo Kazooie then The Last Tinker is a must. It doesn’t copy these games directly, as is evident by the lack of a jump button, but it does a great job capturing the feel and atmosphere of the titles that inspired it. The colorful and vibrant gameworld is a joy to explore and the puzzles involving colors as well as strange Mushroom people are loads of fun.

Gameplay: Perfectly captures the look and feel of the 3D adventures of the Playstation and PS2 era.

Graphics: Colorful visuals with some great character designs.

Sound: An exotic soundtrack with plenty of memorable tunes

DLC Quest PC Game Reviews

DLC Quest

While extremely short, DLC Quest offers enough entertainment considering its low asking price. It is a satirical look at the state of the gaming industry and its obsession with downloadable content, but there is enough gameplay here to make the game fun in its own right.

Gameplay: DLC Quest is relatively easy, but it is pretty entertaining.

Graphics: The visuals are very basic but have a unique charm.

Sound: The game features some nice retro tunes

Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action! PC Game Reviews

Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action!

Aces Wild is a game that will test your skills and reflexes but keep you coming back for more. The Wild meter adds an interesting dynamic to fights, and the over-the-top action provides a rush like no other. If you want a brawler that tests your ability to react to attacks instead of memorizing combos, then Aces Wild is the game for you.

Gameplay: Beat up everyone and everything in your way with stylish moves and combos.

Graphics: Brilliant character designs and vibrant 2D visuals.

Sound: Some fitting tunes to get the adrenaline pumping

Cloudrift PC Game Reviews

Cloudrift

Thanks to its psychedelic visuals, great soundtrack, and addictive gameplay, we have no qualms recommending Cloudrift. Chasing your next high score is a thrill, whether you play alone or as a team, but the versus mode is what will keep you coming back for more. Anyone looking for a game that is easy to get into but hard to stop playing should not miss out on Cloudrift.

Gameplay: The game is simple to understand but has enough variables to keep things exciting and addictive.

Graphics: The visuals in Cloudrift are colorful and hypnotic.

Sound: The tunes are easy on the ears and never become repetitive
