A new approach to puzzle solving

September 4, 2016 - Screen-wrapping is almost as old as gaming itself (think Asteroids, Pac-Man and even 1962's Spacewar!). Four Sided Fantasy builds its puzzles around this concept, allowing you to "lock" the screen at any moment and screen-wrap to another side of it.

Solar Shifter EX Review

A piece of shift

September 1, 2016 - The classic shoot 'em up formula is hard to screw up. All you need is solid gameplay and over-the-top action and there you go; a decent shmup is born. So, where did Solar Shifter EX go so horribly wrong?

Armikrog Review

The Neverhood lives on

August 23, 2016 - You don't see that many claymation games anymore. Thankfully, Doug TenNapel and gang are back to show gamers just how awesome the art form is. However, does their new game live up to their previous triumphs?

Strike Vector EX Review

Explosive aerial combat

August 22, 2016 - There's something about flying around and blowing stuff up that's just awesome. Strike Vector EX tries to offer exhilarating gameplay but does it soar high or crash and burn?

Child's play
