I’ll happily admit that when it comes to Earthshaker, it’d take a cataclysmic event to make me give it a bad review. Thing is, it may be a new game to the 360 but it’s a game that I’ve owned and enjoyed for the best part of 20 years now (oh god, I’m old) and [...]
I’ve said before that I’m not really one for physics gubbins. Once you’ve played about with Pontifex for a while, do you really need more? So, I wasn’t particularly excited to give Gerbil Physics a try-out. Imagine my surprise when it kept me entertained from start to finish. And not merely entertained, but actively engaged. [...]
Puzzle games, always a joy to review. I think there are more styles of play in puzzle games than any other genre, and more variation of opinion. (For example, I find Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo to be on the lower end of mediocre, while I’m painfully aware of its immense popularity.) Attempting to explain [...]
Set in that mythical world your government wants you to believe in, where Terrorism is a nation rather than a modus operandi (I think it shares a border with the nation of Drugs) and war can be made against it, Shellblast HD asserts the premise that we know where all of the Terrorists’ bombs are [...]
A tangram, for those who don’t know, is a set of seven particular shapes cut from a square and rearranged to form other figures. The shapes must not overlap, and I believe they are all supposed to be touching, though I have seen patterns which disregard that limitation. There are only two things I can [...]
Bop N’ Pop! is a simple battle match-em-up where you slot blobs of different colours into place, and try to match colours together. Instead of the blobs disappearing when so many are matched, like in Puyo, you have to pop them with ‘activators’. These special blocks appear instead of blobs, so getting these key blocks [...]
Scene begins in a non-descript west asian country. Time is 1100 hours local time. Pvt. Ragamuffin: Sarge, we’ve found a bomb! Sgt. Overcompensation: WHAT!? *Sergeant stubs out cigar on a nearby stray dog* Sgt. Overcompensation: I need a sit-rep, NOW! Pvt. Ragamuffin: There’s a bomb; it’s beeping. There appears to be 4 different coloured lights [...]
Bat-L-Blocks is a multiplayer focussed Tetris clone which includes extra block sets and the ability to attack other players. The game itself is a standard tetris affair; blocks randomly appear at the top of the screen, and you have to fit them together to fill a horizontal line. Most things about this game are pretty [...]
