App Review: I Want To Love This Game So Much, But I Can’t

“Hold me,” This Is Not A Ball Game begs me with her adorable French accent, tears running down her cheeks. Whimsical music plays against a backdrop of cardboad circus silhouettes, the lions and strong men and acrobats bearing witness. I hold up my hands, each finger a tiny gaming app critic, waiting to slice her to ribbons. “I can’t.”


ScribbleTaku

It was destiny. The minute I drop my guard and start bragging about how difficult the ScribbleTaku is, the bloody thing only goes and gets guessed within seconds. Urgh.

Community Review — Metro: Last Light

Being a new parent and all, most of my gaming has been done on handhelds over the past few months, which means that I’ve missed out on games like Metro: Last Light — games that might not have directly been on my radar, but may have checked out had I a spare moment or three. I’m keen to hear your thoughts on this one: should I be investing time in this game?
