Kings or Pawns: PWNs Review

It’s been 20 years since I was first introduced to the computer game Worms. In the mid-90s, the game seemed innovative and a bit naughty. It was great fun to move these egotistical worms around blowing other worms to pieces with a deep arsenal of weaponry. I’d like

Simple on the surface, but there is hope – Republique review

Overcoming the odds — Trillion: God of Destruction review

The idea of holding out against an unstoppable force, standing against overwhelming odds and just barely being able to survive is admirable, and rarely done well in games. Maybe it’s my love of films like Seven Samurai or my Texas history resonating, but it’s a concept that I

From challenge comes opportunity. And, at least in games, challenge can also create risk. Gearbox Software might be known for first-person shooters, but with a game like Battleborn the team has moved outside of their element, especially when it comes to aesthetic. “For better or worse, we were the company

Reviews   -   Mar 22, 2016 An Oddly Satisfying Union – Hyrule Warriors Legends review

The aptly named Hyrule Warriors Legends is exactly what you’d expect from mixing together The Legend of Zelda and Dynasty Warriors. Add one part revered legacy to one part unapologetically repetitive series, and the resulting product is… actually, not half bad. Between the enjoyable Zelda characters, thematics and storyline,
