The Legend of Tianding comes to us from Creative Games & Computer Graphics Corp in conjuction with Taiwan Tech (aka National Taiwan University of Science and Technology) and Taiwanese publisher Neon Doctrine. So far so Taiwanese! According to Wikipedia, this is a fleshed out version of a 2004 Flash game which […]

Terror of Hemasaurus is a game from Finnish one-man studio Loren Lemcke and can be described as a 2D destroy ’em up in the same vein as Midways ’80s coin-op Rampage in so far as that you play as a big monster that tears through cities smashing buildings, flinging cars and eating people. […]

Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo is a game we didn’t necessarily expect to see. Coming from Spanish developer Pendulo Studios and longtime French publisher Microids, this is a mystery adventure with occasional QTEs based on the premise of Hitchcock’s film. Rather than closely following the plot of the Jimmy Stewart 1958 […]

Before we go any further on this one. Please note that this is a review for the second season of Sam and Max, a Telltale Adventure. The first season is known as Save the World, which we also reviewed at the same time here. Beyond Time and Space is a […]

Of all the enduring franchises from my youth, Sam and Max must be one of the most unlikely properties to stand the test of time. Originating as a comic book from 1987, the Freelance Police duo has been transcending media, from the comics to the original DOS game, then to […]

Midnight Fight Express is a 3D beat ’em up single-handedly programmed by one-man Polish powerhouse Jacob Dzwinel (albeit with a little help in the writing and music department). It takes the classic brawler type of game and gives it a fairly unique perspective as it tells the story of a man, […]

It seems like forever since I’ve played a roguelike platformer. A few years back, they arrived more frequently but that drought has now been broken. Chenso Club is a fast-paced, 2D platformer that combines forgivable platform challengers with some simple but swift combat. Swedish developer Pixadome are at the helm. […]

Falcom’s JRPGs have become firm favourites of mine. I’ve reviewed a few Trails games over the years and they’ve all hit the spot for old school JRPG enjoyment. They’re not trying to modernise the genre, they’re taking its strengths and applying them as best as they can. The Legend of […]

Wayward Strand, from developer Ghost Pattern, takes part during a very specific window of three days in early 1978. Friday 27th January to Sunday 29th January in fact. It’s also very very Australian. It’s not quite the stereotypical Joe Mangel “you little ripper, let me get the ute!” levels of […]

Neon Abyss is a rogue-like plaformer-shooter from Chinese coding crew, Veewo Games. It actually released in 2020 but we’ve ended up with a review key for it and so let’s take a look at this already well-regarded game. In Neon Abyss you play as part of the Grim Squad, a team of […]
