Review by Matt S. Credit where credit is due; Rovio is not simply letting its hero franchise have its 15 minutes of fame before bowing out. Consider Call of Duty or Halo; the developers wouldn’t dream of taking the formula that made these games so popular, and building something as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Among many other things, Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings and sketches include designs for machines that would enhance the power of the military. Advance guns, cannons and even machines that look like tanks appear in his portfolio. Magnifico is a popular board game that takes Da Vinci’s…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Back in 2007, a humble little game called Panzer Tactics was released on the Nintendo DS. This game was a reasonably hardcore hex-based strategy game for Nintendo’s little console that could. Of course back then the DS was functionally the only portable gaming device that had…

Independent developers, meanwhile, have produced the likes of Paper Sorcerer and we have The Legend…
Read MoreOpinion by Harvard L. You’ve probably heard of Flappy Bird by now. The new smartphone and tablet sensation that’s heralded as the next Angry Birds or Candy Crush Saga (because every notable release on smartphones needs to be heralded as such) and lit up both social networks and the fuses…
