Sorcerer's Maze Review

Rating:

A very simple and addictive puzzle game with an emphasis on exploration and adventure. Beating the level is only a small part of this game - it's finding the secret items and exploring the hidden areas that give this title its charm.

Carlsev Saga: Episode I Review

Rating:

Carlsev Saga is a good JRPG, but lacks the essential hooks to make it spectacular. It has a great story and deep gameplay that is unfortunately hidden beneath a slow opening and confusing presentation of events, making it just fall short of JRPG greatness.

Wizard's Notebook Review

Rating:

Wizard's Notebook is an interesting word game that allows you to create things by typing their names, then use your creations to solve the puzzles presented. However, this mechanic creates a lot of expectations that the game is unable to satisfy.

Soundfight Review

Rating:

I'm always excited to review experimental concepts - its never about they achieve, but what they discover. Soundfight is a game that does this in an attempt to pit songs against each other in a shooter framework, but loses much "game-ness" in the process.

Strange Adventures in Infinite Space Review

Rating:

If you've ever wanted to explore the vastness of space and do it all in one go, without a heavy interface or game system to learn, Strange Adventures in Infinite Space might just be for you.

The Linear RPG Review

Rating:

This game attempts to reduce RPGs to its simplest form, and actually manages to succeed. It is very rare that I'm giving such a small game a 4 star rating, but I really think the thought that went into its creation deserves that recognition.

Redder Review

Rating:

Redder is a peculiar platformer with a heavy emphasis on exploration. Everything is left up to the player to discover, including the goal of the game and how to progress within it. Does this makes it an intriguing game or a frustrating concept? You decide.

Torchlight Review

Rating:

Torchlight is a hack and slash RPG in every sense of the word. It offers little innovation from its Diablo roots, and ironically, that\'s where it shines amongst the fluff of action RPGs available today.

RE Alistair Review

Rating:

RE: Alistair is a romantic visual novel independently produced by Sake Visual and released free for download. Adorned with beautiful manga-styled artwork, interesting characters and a unique storyline, this is a gem amongst free visual novels out there.

Hope Review

Rating:

A very short adventure game with a lot of visual eye candy, but suffers from weak story, puzzles and game length. However, the artwork of Ben Chandler is worth giving this game a go, it will only take about 10 minutes of your time anyway.
