Review: Hive (PC, Early Access)

Hive PC Game ReviewReview by Shaan J.

While I'm not the biggest fan of board and trading card games, I do enjoy it when they get digitised in the form of a game. These digital versions often (if not always) cost less than their physical counterparts, and while they are still better played with (or against) others, the rise of Internet play helps to counter their inherent reliance on multiplayer. As an added bonus, these games often feature some excellent artwork and visuals (here's looking at you Magic 2014), along with single-player campaigns for those who like to hone their skills offline.

Unfortunately, when compared to the standards set by other games in the genre, Hive comes off as a bit of a disappointment, despite some deep and surprisingly original mechanics.

Review: Chainsaw Warrior (iPad)

Review by Andrew M.

One of the best things about the tablet market today is ability for developers to take our childhoods and turn them into iOS apps. I've got fond memories of epic games of Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Risk, and now I can now relive it anywhere. Not being into the card based adventure games or adventure board games as a child, Chainsaw Warrior was a new experience for me and so I get to play this newest iOS recreation with eyes untinted by nostalgia. While I had more experience with traditional board games, these games also translate from the physical to the virtual very well, offering fans of the game a chance to relive the time that many were able to first experience games.
