Love film noir? Love being stealthy in video games? Love solving puzzles? You may want to sit down, because we’ve found the perfect game for you: Calvino Noir. Described as an “exploratory, sneaking adventure though the 1930s European criminal underworld,” the trailer is actually quite reminiscent of This War of…
Read MoreIf you’ve ever wanted to be a commando elephant in a land ravaged by war, your time has finally come! Set to launch July 21 (in North America, it may take a little longer for our loyal readers in the Western hemisphere) is Game Freak’s new game, Tembo the Badass…
Read MoreWhy developers still insist on locking away harder difficulty levels is beyond me. Here we have a novel 2D beat ’em up that oozes style through and through, but its flashiness is soon overshadowed when all the player does is near-mindlessly tap away at the same two or three buttons.…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. What happens when you mix Castlevania and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? You get AeternoBlade. AeternoBlade is a 2D action platformer where you play as Freyja, a young woman whose village was destroyed by Beladim, the Dark Lord of Mist. If that doesn’t give…

Read MoreFloating Cloud God Saves the Pilgrims was originally a PS Mini title for the PSP, and one that was held in high acclaim. It was a unique horizontal shooter in the same vein as The Game Atelier’s Flying Hamster, but wasn’t quite as much fun as, in my view, the…
Read MoreIs the Duke worth remembering before he went ‘3D’? The revamped second entry in the series makes a case. I actually remember Duke Nukem II when it was released by Apogee (there’s a blast from the past) back in 1993. I can’t say that I played it though, as I…
Read MoreThe Game Atelier has a habit of making incredibly addictive little games that are essential for anyone who likes fun. Last year it brought Sun Flowers to the PlayStation Vita in a gorgeously HD port complete with trophy support. For a fiver it was easily the best value game on…
Read MoreSacred 2 is one of my favourite Diablo-clones ever. It was a massive game that you could easily spend hundreds of hours in. So Sacred Citadel immediately caught my attention.
