[REVIEW] Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
By Dan Spence on February 6th 2017
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is developed by Mimimi Studios and published by Daedalic Entertainment. It’s a throwback to the real-time tactics games of the late 90s and the early 2000s that outshines its predecessors in basically every way.

By Dan Spence on January 27th 2016
On the face of it Pony Island appears to be a very basic game about a cute pony jumping over fences.

Aviary Attorney sees you take on the role of Jayjay Falcon as he investigates crimes across Paris so that he may better defend his clients in their upcoming criminal trials. With his quick-witted assistant Sparrowson at his side, it’s up to Falcon to ensure that justice is served so that the truly innocent may walk free once more.

By Dan Spence on September 2nd 2015
Today I played Xeodrifter, a Metroid-style 2D action adventure game developed by Texas-based studio: Renegade Kid. Xeodrifter is a game riddled with large quantities of retro nostalgia but manages to feel fresh regardless due to some interesting design choices.
