Water works — The Flame in the Flood hands-on

Steam’s Early Access service is constantly bombarded with roguelike survival games, but The Flame in the Flood from The Molasses Flood gives direction to what is normally an aimless genre. The Flame in the Flood follows a girl and her dog rafting down a Louisiana Bayou-inspired river in post-societal

Not your average bear — Paddington: Adventures in London

Movie tie-in titles, especially ones for children’s movies, are almost universally laughably unappealing.  They’re usually either reskins of other games or half-assed attempts at simply retelling a movie’s story.  Paddington, a point-and-click title for 3DS, is, almost astoundingly, not one of those titles.  While it doesn’t

Platforming with ease and complexity — Mighty No. 9

Mighty No. 9 is one of the original Kickstarter darlings, and it looks like we’re finally going to be able to get our hands on it.  I was able to get some hands-on time with the title at Deep Silver’s E3 2015 booth, and I have to say

Zen Pinball 2 – Portal: Now you’re thinking with pinballs

When I saw the first trailer for Portal, my mind broke. I couldn’t comprehend anything that was happening in the video, I just knew that I needed to get my hands on it. When I heard that the team behind some of the best licensed digital pinball tables in

Falling Short of Super — Zen Pinball 2 – Avengers: Age of Ultron

Zen Pinball 2’s Age of Ultron table is an interesting beast.  It lies somewhere between blatant cash in and labor of love.  You can tell that the designers wanted to do the Avengers property justice; the individual pieces of the level are gorgeous, but their placement and the overall
