There is something to be said about the simplicity of a game and how engaging such a simple mechanic can be to a player. Think about all the mobile games that receive such high praise for being about a simple tap of the screen. Take this mentality and add some decent aesthetics, the “well, I’ll…
The Binding of Isaac is a tough game to categorize and probably one of the strangest I’ve ever played. Brought to us from the same twisted minds that made Super Meat Boy this genre-bending game can be described as a “2D rogue-like dungeon crawler bullet-hell twin stick SHMUP” (what a mouthful). The story begins with…
You’ll notice that this isn’t much of a review and that’s because, truth be told, My Name is Mayo isn’t much of a video game. In fact, I am going to refrain from using that label for the rest of this article. The objective in this poorly done time sink is to control a dismembered…

I’m not even going to bother focusing on whether or not I enjoyed playing Xeodrifter. Spoiler alert, I did. So let’s dive right in by taking a look at the graphics. It’s pretty obvious that the developers went with retro for this game and I for one am always a fan. However, while the simple…
The game selection when the PS4 launched, for lack of a better phrase, left a lot to be desired. As such, if you were a PS+ subscriber within the launch window, then you are probably already familiar with the title Resogun. Even if you weren’t a sub, you might have picked up developer Housemarque’s initial…
