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

Warioware, Inc. Mega Microgame$! Gameboy Advance Game Reviews

Warioware, Inc. Mega Microgame$!

Wario Ware Inc, Mega Microgame$ is a fun diversion but not everybody is going to appreciate its madness. If you can live with a game where the visuals are retro to say the least and very little is required beyond pressing one or two buttons in a five second period then you’ll love it.

Gameplay: Five second bursts of fun.

Graphics: A interesting mixture of good and (intentionally) bad.

Sound: Sounds like getting mixed signals from two radio stations at times

Game Type PC Game Reviews

Game Type

Game Type is clearly more of a spoof than a full-fledged game, but floating around and shooting the bizarre enemies while chasing a high score is surprisingly addictive. The co-op mode adds to the fun, but still can’t hide the fact that the game is very simple and quite repetitive. On its own it is hard to recommend, but it is still worth checking out as part of the Mommy’s Best Action Pack.

Gameplay: Amusing, but loops very quickly and can be repetitive.

Graphics: Very basic and with almost non-existent animations.

Sound: The music is fitting, but the constant shouts of “Parkour” soon becomes annoying

Divine Slice of Life PC Game Reviews

Divine Slice of Life

For a short, but interesting visual novel that doesn’t take itself too seriously and features branching paths it is worth checking out Divine Slice of Life. The all ages version isn’t too bad, but the game is best played in its uncensored form. The story isn’t particularly deep or original, but overall the game is enjoyable enough for us to recommend to fans of the genre.

Gameplay: Rather short, but features an interesting story and multiple endings.

Graphics: Better than what we are used to seeing in Western visual novels.

Sound: Decent soundtrack and full English voice acting

Explosionade PC Game Reviews

Explosionade

Explosionade has been out for a while on Xbox 360 already, but this PC version still delivers plenty of action. It is a 2D shooter that feels lifted straight from the arcade, and the new leaderboards provide an extra incentive to aim for a high score. Although the game is still great on its own, we suggest grabbing the Mommy’s Best Action Pack to get it along with three other titles from the same developer.

Gameplay: Small levels filled with many enemies ensure the action never lets up.

Graphics: There is an almost Neo Geo style to the 2D visuals.

Sound: The game features decent music and plenty of sound effects

Nidhogg PC Game Reviews

Nidhogg

If single player games are your thing then you can probable give Nidhogg a miss. Gather around a few friends and start a tournament if you really want to experience what all the fuss is about. The frantic combat will test your luck and reflexes while the low system requirements means the game will run smoothly on just about any hardware.

Gameplay: The single player is good practice but the real fun lies in multi-player.

Graphics: Retro pixel art with smooth animations.

Sound: A brilliant electronic soundtrack composed by Daedelus

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Out of the Shadows PC Game Reviews

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Out of the Shadows

As a big fan of the ninja turtles it pains me to see how much unrealized potential this game has. With a bit more spit and polish it could have been great but as it is the game feels rushed and unfinished. The combat is enjoyable once you get the hang of it but can feel imprecise and sluggish initially. Wait for a sale and hopefully a few patches before diving in.

Gameplay: With a bit more polish it could have been great.

Graphics: Some nice detail but overall a bit uneven.

Sound: The voice acting is great and the tunes fit the game nicely

Go! Go! Nippon! 2015 PC Game Reviews

Go! Go! Nippon! 2015

Fans of the original game will love the new locations, enhanced visuals and expanded story of Go! Go! Nippon! 2015, but newcomers are also in for a treat. The game is packed with information and offers a unique way to experience Japanese culture and tourist attractions without hopping on a plane. The lack of voice acting is a letdown, but overall this expansion lives up to expectations.

Gameplay: Lots of information about Japan and a lighthearted love story as well.

Graphics: The new animations are great and the widescreen visuals are a step up from the original game.

Sound: Still no voice acting, but the audio is very upbeat and fitting

Wipeout Pure Handheld Reviews

Wipeout Pure

Wipeout Pure shows what a launch game is capable of if enough time and effort is put into it. It is a perfect showcase of the new hardware and a joy to play. Addictive from start to finish with plenty of content to back up the visuals this game is essential to any collection.

Gameplay: Starts out nice and slow but by the time things speed up you will already be hooked.

Graphics: The most impressive visuals in a handheld title to date.

Sound: If you like the genre you’ll love the soundtrack

Rememoried PC Game Reviews

Rememoried

Rememoried combines surreal but beautiful visuals, atmospheric music, and some very perplexing puzzles into one unique experience. The landscapes you explore are not only dreamlike but, in true dream fashion, also change when you look away, which takes a while to get used to. Don’t expect just to walk around and gawk at the pretty visuals, though, as the game also features plenty of platform jumping, which can be tricky. Overall, it is an engrossing and unique title, but it might be a little too niche for some players.

Gameplay: The game doesn’t hold your hand or spell out what you must do, which can sometimes be confusing.

Graphics: The visuals are minimalist but very beautiful.

Sound: The audio is varied and very atmospheric
