  • Mini Review Dexteritrip (Switch) - A Minimalist, Hardcore Platformer With Some Fun Ideas

    Trip off the old block

    This game was originally covered as part of our Nindie Round Up series that sought to give coverage to a wider breadth of Switch eShop games beyond our standard reviews. In an effort to make our impressions easier to find, we're presenting the original text below in our mini-review format. Note. This game has, unfortunately,...

  • Review SuperEpic: The Entertainment War (Switch) - A Metroidvania Built On Satirical Humour And Minigames

    A free-to-play a day keeps your money away

    The gameplay and progression in SuperEpic might feel familiar to begin with, but what starts out as a simple Metroidvania quickly becomes much more.

Even if you find...

If this has been a lifelong goal you are yet to fulfil, perhaps you’ll just have to remain hopeful, and in the meantime gather your family or a group of friends to instead play Conga Master Party!...

  • Review Battle of the Elements (DSiWare)

    Elementary, dear Watson

    Lists. Who needs 'em? Whether it's a shopping list or a year-end "Best Of" list, you just know when you're writing it that you'll end up forgetting something important. When the year ends, Battle of the Elements probably won't be on our Best Of list. If you're the kind of person that makes lists of games to buy,...
