VVVVVV: A game that is almost as hard to play as it is to pronounce

In my last review I talked a lot about gravity and how throughout the course of the game you’d learn to tame the beast. Well it obviously did not enjoy domestic life as it decided to come back with a vengeance at me with this nightmare of a game. 1059 deaths just about sums that […]

Retrospectacles: Mario (a.k.a. plumber by day, stoner by… well pretty much 24/7)

What happens when you combine a moustache, a plumber, a national stereotype and 50kg of class A drugs? Only the video game industry’s most beloved mascot of course!

Again. And again. And again. And that’s about it for Armor Games’ […]

Retrospectacles: PONG (a.k.a. “Golly gosh! It’s like I’m Andy Murray!”)

Are you the kind of person that looks at all the new and exciting games posted here, shrug your shoulders and say aloud to nobody in particular, “Still not as good as Pokémon Red” (or Blue depending on your flavour)? No? Well you still might get some kicks out of delving into the […]
