Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope  |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
Surprise and Delight
|
|
“Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope” (“Sparks of Hope”) is the completely unexpected sequel to the equally-unexpected Switch launch window title, “Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle” which saw one of the vanishingly rare incidents of Nintendo allowing a third-party, in this case the Big Three Western publisher Ubisoft, to make an all-new game based on one of Nintendo’s covetously-guarded ... |

Rating of: 3/5

|
All the ingredients of the most playable snowboarding console franchise with the addition of novel the Wii control system. It can take a little getting used to, but patience is rewarded. |

| The House of the Dead: Overkill |
Rating of: 4/5
|
|
Lightgun shooter that revels in its own cliches in a similar way to Grindhouse that's reminiscent of boozy sessions on shooting gallery games in the local pub. Hardly the height of sophistication, but good fun to play. |

Best Battle Royale Ace Attorney Dating Sim EVER
|
|
The year is 2010 and Japanese writer Kazutaka Kodaka feels the adventure genre has gone stale. Working at Spike, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc was conceived as a hybrid of exploration, dating sim, murder mystery and Ace-Attorney-like trails. It had a dark story punctuated by equally dark humor and there was some concern about its ability to reach a big enough audience. A PSP exclusive, the nic... |

| Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising |
Rating of: 3/5
|
Fetch Quest: The Game
|
|
‘Eiyuden Chronicle’ is a new IP brought to us by the Japanese Indie developer, Rabbit & Bear, consisting of several former Konami employees who once worked on the dormant ‘Suikoden’ franchise during the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 eras. Like so many other renowned Japanese IPs, ‘Suikoden’ failed to make the leap into the ‘HD Era’ of the 7th Generation, and ultimately ended its r... |

The Benefits of 20 Years in the Brain Tumbler
|
|
‘Psychonauts’ was the inaugural IP that launched Tim Schafer’s Indie studio, Double Fine Productions, which was assembled by Schafer and a number of other ex-LucasArts developers in the magical Year 2000. Five years later, the first “Psychonauts” launched to critical acclaim but fairly dismal sales, likely due to it being something of a holdover from an earlier time when colorful, carto... |

| Red Steel 2 |
Rating of: 3/5
|
|
Sequel to FPS Red Steel, this instalment concentrates more on swordplay and adds more characterful visuals in a similar vein to No More Heroes. A nice attempt to try something new but the original was actually more fun to play. |

| Override: Mech City Brawl |
Rating of: 3/5
|
Punch, Kick, Repeat (Over and Over and Over Again)
|
|
Multiplayer games are hit and miss and Override: Mech City Brawl, from Brazil, is kind of in the middle. The best thing going for it is the unique way multiplayer is implemented - with each player controlling an arm or leg (or two players controlling the arms or legs) and working together to beat down various enemies. Unfortunately the experience can't match expectations and the game gets highly ... |

| Maneater |
Rating of: 3/5

Empty Calories
|
|
Indie developers come and go and often only have a handful - or single - game to call their own. Blindside Interactive is one such company and Maneater, thus far, is their only release though they did also work on Killing Floor and Depth. I guess if you're only going to be known for one thing, a game where you play as a shark - eating, evolving, eating more - with a general fun atmosphere isn't t... |

Dreading E.M.M.I. Robots
|
|
Finally, another 2D adventure! It's been a long time since the last 2D Metroid, and I looked forward to this game a lot. The previous 2D Metroid games were Metroid (NES), Metroid 2 Return of Samus (Game Boy), Super Metroid (Super Nintendo), and Metroid Fusion (Game Boy Advance).
In this latest saga of Metroid, Samus goes to investigate what is happening on a planet known as ZDR. You'll deal... |
