Review: Zombotron

Although initially intriguing, Zombotron ends up being a frustrating run 'n gun shooter marred by floaty gameplay, bad level designs and annoying technical problems. It's an action game that fails to ...

Review: Shadowgate

As a remake of the 1980s adventure game, Shadowgate somehow manages to be both a loving tribute and a fresh take on the 8-bit classic. It's a point and click adventure game that looks great and plays ...

Review: One Finger Death Punch 2

Review: Pixel Devil and the Broken Cartridge

Review: Progress Bar Simulator

As a parody, Progress Bar Simulator is a funny idea. The problem is that the execution hints at a deeper game that never materializes. That's not to say there isn't greatness hiding behind all these l...
