Vault Boy Gets A Thumbs Up

Hotel Barcelona – The Eagles aren’t here
Fairly by the numbers so far, but the issue is that the combat is so utterly lacklustre. It doesn’t matter which weapon you use, nothing feels like it has any impact at all thanks to the outrageously floaty feeling controls and impossible…

BALL x PIT – Brick Breaking, Ball Blasting Fun
BALL x PIT is the newest offering from publisher Devolver and developer Kenny Sun. As you journey into the ruins of the town of Ballbylon (Which is basically a big ol’ hole in the ground) and dredge through the hordes of undead and monsters…
Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition – Match 3 magic
One of the selling points of Puzzle Quest was that it was a match-3 puzzle game with an RPG style plot, and whilst it certainly has that, it’s pretty standard fantasy fare with you having to save the kingdom from an evil lord and their…

Articulate For Kids is a bitesize, kid-size twist on a familiar classic
Articulate is a classic for a reason, it very much takes the frenetic energy of parlour games and combines it with prompt cards and a ticking timer. Articulate for Kids takes on the incredibly daunting task of trying to adapt that format to…
Hecate G2000 Pro – Finally my games sound good!
I particularly liked the USB option though, as being connected to a PC allows you to make use of the downloadable app to tinker with all sorts of different sound settings. Whilst I won’t claim to have a clue what I’m doing, the inclusion is…
