Dear Journal, Today I got so angry that I grew extra arms so I could punch people six times as fast. Asura’s Wrath is a game that falls into that sort of middle range in terms of success and popularity. People know of it, they’ve heard it exist, but try to find a gamer friend who has played it let […]

Dear Journal, Today I became the ultimate hunter (that never went toe to toe with Arnold Schwarzenegger). Much like my last go-around at taking on my backlog, I decided to once again start my quest with a Cabela’s game. This time it is Big Game Hunter 2012, the sort of cousin to the Dangerous Hunts series. Only this time I […]
Read moreDear Journal, I thought I had made progress, I thought the light at the end of the tunnel was starting to shine through, I thought the backlog was finally starting to wane. My last adventure into my backlog proved successful, and I felt confident that perhaps my foe would remain weakened and no longer prove a challenge that necessitated action. […]

Despite its alien appearance, many of us will be doing something we are quite familiar with in this unfamiliar landscape; mining. Yes, Xenominer is an alien twist on what is quickly becoming a classic genre, but does […]

Pixel by Ratchet Game Studio is a poorly executed 3D platformer that draws liberally from Portal. The game is not only greatly flawed by glitches and handling, but it also fails to provide any substantial gameplay. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grSu5vwoVdA The nameless hero utilizes a Portal-esque gun that can manipulate strands of blocks to reach the exit of each level. The gun […]

The Indie Games Uprising III has succumbed to Entropy; no not the thermodynamic property of cooling down (to overly simplify), but rather a Portal inspired indie game by the same name. Entropy has you solving various puzzles in a first person platformer that earns its name in multiple ways. The most obvious way Entropy earns its moniker is that the […]

Gateways takes the Indie Games Uprising III through portals and time and twist everything up in the process. To try and write this review without referencing the obvious source material would be possible, but pointless. The game is Portal, but 2D, a whole hell of a lot more difficult and with a lot more than just a simple portal gun. […]
