Review: Arma Tactics (PC)
Review by Nick H.The idea behind Arma Tactics appeals to me on many levels. Having played and enjoyed the Arma shooting titles, I liked the idea of a tactical game based on the series. Described as a turn-based combat strategy game, Arma Tactics drops you into a scenario without any guidelines to necessarily follow - simply try to complete your story-based missions (with some randomised objectives sprinkled in) in whatever fashion suits you best.
Review: Armed Seven (PC)
Review by V8Ninja.Is Armed Sevena SNES game that forgot to be released? Because if not, it sure does one masterful job convincing me otherwise. Everything, from the art design to the music to the simplistic controls, gives off the vibe of a game released when Mario was the bees knees and Sonic the Hedgehog was the coolest and/or fastest thing alive. Unfortunately, this entails both positives and negatives.
Review: Space Rangers HD: A War Apart (PC)
Review by Nick H. Generally when a game tries to mix a load of different features from varying genres into one title, it tends to be poor to decent in executing a lot of these features while proving to be excellent in none. They tend to become classic examples of spreading development resources and talent too thin, offering thing slices of features that seem appealing at a glance, but fail to pan out in the end. I am pleased to say that Space Rangers HD A War Apart is not one of those titles.
Review: Magic 2014 - Duels of the Planeswalkers Expansion (PC)
Review by Nick H.Reviewing an expansion is always a difficult thing to do. Generally speaking, they do not stack up quite as well in value when comparing the expansion to a base game. That is the same with the new expansion for Magic 2014. I reviewed the original game to a score of 4.5 out of 5 stars back when it first released for $9.99.
Review: Card Hunter (PC)
When Card Hunter was pointed out to me, the idea of a web browser collectible card game with strategy elements held immediate appeal for me. I really did not know what to expect - some sort of a Magic: The Gathering Tactics game? That was what I was hoping for, but found myself surprised when it turned out that Card Hunter was not only quite different from that, but better as well.Review: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs (PC)
Review by V8Ninja.Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs was not developed by Frictional Games. Rather, the game was developed by The Chinese Room. The Chinese Room's resume only features one video game, which was Dear Esther.
While I cannot judge any of the claims, many individuals criticised Dear Esther for taking away all meaningful player interaction and replacing it with story and meticulously crafted environments, with many coming to the conclusion that Dear Esther was primarily a set of pretty dioramas rather than a video game (we rather loved it at Digitally Downloaded though). When many heard the news that The Chinese Room was developing A Machine For Pigs, they thought that The Chinese Room's freshman debut was not indicative of the developers future and that the developer would lend their knack for environmental detail to Frictional Games' top-notch horror gameplay.
Review: Dusty Revenge (PC)
In a weird way, I miss the days of the early-to-mid 2000s. Nostalgia plays a part, yes, but in that time period the gaming community seemed a lot more forgiving, at least in my eyes. The name-calling was less volatile, consumer hate/ distrust was not at a constant fever-pitch, and many individuals were able to like games that may have had some (minor) fundamental flaws. Unfortunately, something happened when the most recent console cycle started and now the gaming community has become hyper-critical and willing to spew vitriol whether or not a developer deserves it..gif)
