Honestly, there isn’t a lot to say about this one. It’s a simple, zooming down a corridor, dodge-em-up. I’m going out of my way to highlight it because, despite being basic, it is solidly put together, it’s fun, and it has that “just one more go” factor. Three things that a majority of more complex [...]

The principle behind Track Architect is pretty simple: drive your car from the start point to the goal, avoiding all the obstacles, and trying not to flip over. If you’ve played Elasto Mania or Trials HD, you’ll get the gist of it. You can accelerate, decelerate and balance your car using the analog stick.
As far [...]

Thrust harder. With a vengeance.
I suppose there had to be a dip at some point. After two very successful Xbox Indie titles (and both recommended on release and still recommended for you to try this very day), Halfbrick Rocket Racing comes as a bit of a disappointment.
You’ve got all the elements of a fantastic [...]

It seems inevitable that any “Mode 7″-styled go-kart racer gets labeled a Mario Kart clone. It’s rather unfair that an entire genre is perceived as ripping off a single title, even if it was the originator of the genre. I try to judge a game by its own merits, and let it be defined by [...]

What is it with folks and dimensions? Why is it that some people feel the need to add half a D here and there or even in some cases add an extra D for good measure? You can’t have 2.5d, it’s a nonsense. Equally, no matter what Melbourne House taught you as a kid, you [...]

“From the creator of Rumble Massage”
Doesn’t that just fill you with promise for the experience to come? Whilst I’m not one of those folks who get on board the bah humbug train over Rumble Massage, it’s not exactly “From the director of Apocalypse Now” we’re facing here. More like “From the creator of a piece [...]
