Having reviewed the likes of Matt Hazzard: Blood, Bath and Beyond, I was prepared to dislike One Epic Game, a platformer set in, let’s see here, yes, “an alien invasion right in the middle of a zombie outbreak in a fantasy kingdom somewhere in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.” That’s from a cutscene. “With World War II also involved somehow.” More »
The most clever twist of FlipShip didn’t reveal itself to me until, about a half-dozen rounds into this top-down shooter, I finished a game with a score of exactly zero. Then I realised that this game wasn’t predicated on twitch skills but knowing, in an arcade sense, when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. Or, in this case, when to flip ‘em. More »

You can see how the sneaky-toon character movement gets perfectly synced to BSB‘s wonky jazz instrumentals, making you hold both the whole song and patrol patterns in your head at the same time. This can’t come out soon enough for me. More »
The App Store’s rotten with platformers. Everywhere you turn, there’s some developer revisiting his or her childhood with their own take on the hoppy/jumpy left-to-right adventure genre. Many of these stink or are otherwise unremarkable. But 5th Cell’s Run Roo Run is different. More »
I’ve had this argument a thousand times. I go to dinner with my wife and some of our friends. I spend the whole time on Twitter/Facebook/Path/Social Media flavour of the month. We leave the restuarant. The car journey home is spent arguing about how I spend too much time on my phone, how I ignore people. This is my life.
