Nostalgia is a helluva thing sometimes. Ground Zero, from developer Malformation Games, is a game that is built on the frustrating, yet nostalgic gameplay structure of the original survival horror series Resident Evil.

Sometimes, all a game needs is a good story to create the gameplay from. Something meaningful, obvious in its intentions, and can be easily pulled from to make the right amount of “that’s it!” to the overall experience. Welcome to Tides of Tomorrow.

Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege from developer Lillymo Games is a title that reaches back to the NES days when games like Castlevania ruled the earth.

What in the world is this game? Also, why did I enjoy it? Questions to answer right now, based on the following impressions. Feed the AI is an interesting game from Weird Kid Games. It’s like a ticket game at the local Dave & Busters, where once you drop a coin and play it, you win some tickets, and then try again for no good reason.

The 2D platformer has always been the heart of gaming since the mid-80s. It’s a go-to when it comes to finding easy ways to be entertained. While some developers don’t completely grasp or respect the gameplay construct of this genre, the developers at Die Soft clearly knew the assignment and what they had to make with their game, Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland. Little Nemo and the Gu...[Read More]
