Smooth jazz and stealth missions – Calvino Noir review

If you’re a fan of point-and-click games, but you also enjoy classic noir films, then Calvino Noir may already have you drooling a little. In this sidescroller, you play as Wilt, a scrambler who takes on clients with operations that require stealth. While he is able to take down

Create your lore on the battlefield — BattleLore Second Edition Review

Not another zombie shooter — Dead in Bermuda review

Dead in Bermuda bills itself as a survival management game with adventure and RPG elements, which is a decent start at trying to describe just what it is. If you ask me, I’d call it a mashup of Oregon Trail, The Sims, tabletop games like D&D or

A different game of thrones — Armello review

I remember the joy, confusion and irritation of playing Monopoly as a young child. Despite the nebulous and convoluted interpretation of rules that kids play by, each game usually featured players secretly formulating their own strategies, trying to adapt to a changing board until an abrupt moment when a critical
