3D adventure games on Google Play, which are not point and click affairs, are rare. Alkonah is one such 3D adventure that gives you a world to explore to your heart’s content. The biggest change that you will realize when playing Alkonah is there is no combat to speak of, at least none I discovered […]

GPD XD Android Gaming Device Review
August 7th, 2016 Carl Williams
When playing modern Android games it is quickly apparent that a lot of them would be more fun with physical buttons. Now, with that in mind, it is interesting to note that for the most part, devices that have physical buttons are not the leading Android device in sales. Yet, thankfully, developers continue to bring […]

GPD XD Android Gaming Series – Soul Calibur
August 6th, 2016 Carl Williams
Soul Calibur, a title that hit the Dreamcast and was quite the show piece for selling more than a couple of systems is now on Android and iOS. Namco have been pretty mum on this title hitting and it was quite a surprise to see it, this is not a simple 8 or 16-Bit title […]

Witch-Bot Meglilo Released on Steam
July 16th, 2016 Carl Williams
Bullet hell shooting fans rejoice. Another game in this genre has been released and this time, it is a throwback title with a dark comedy edge. Witch-Bot Meglilo is an overhead scrolling shooter that simply fills the screen with bullets so much so that you are going to die. A lot. That is unless you […]

Sky Force Anniversary Coming to Playstation 3, PS4 and PS Vita
April 28th, 2016 Carl Williams
Overhead shooting titles are not as popular as they used to be. During the 16-bit era you could hardly shake a stick without hitting a scrolling shooter of some kind (the other was side scrolling). From Aleste titles (Space Megaforce, M.U.S.H.A. etc) to Raiden and others- those were the good old days. Sure, scrolling shooters […]

Brick Breaker Brings Breakout to Modern Platforms, Playstation 4 Xbox One PC
April 27th, 2016 Carl Williams
Fans of classic games will remember Breakout, either fondly or as the bane of their gaming life. Either way, they will probably remember the title from playing it in one form or another. I say that because Breakout is one of the more copied games in retro gaming history. Over the years many have copied […]

Review- Choplifter HD on Android (also Available on Steam)
April 21st, 2016 Carl Williams
Classic titles are classics for a reason. They are usually not convoluted like current titles are. Controls are simpler, the game in general is often more direct and they are easily picked up and played. Choplifter is one such classic that was released at the right time in gaming. The idea is pretty simple, and […]

Evil Genome Now in Steam Greenlight Process

Earlier this year I covered Evil Genome, a 2.5D side scrolling action game coming to Steam. Well, now just a couple of months later, I am now writing it up as now going through the Steam Greenlight process. The team at Crystal Depths have definitely been hard at work, as the new video shows a lot […]

Review- Galactic Nemesis on Android, ZTE Maven
January 16th, 2016 Carl Williams
Overhead scrolling shooters are a staple of gaming. They have been around since the early days with Space War on up to modern interpretations on mobile devices. We have seen new renditions on the idea with titles like Mig 2D and even reboots like Sky Force 2014. We have seen the classics revived with Raiden […]

2D Side Scrolling Action Platformer, Pauli’s Adventure Island, Hits Google Play
November 10th, 2015 Carl Williams
Action fans are sometimes forgotten in the world of Android as there is a plethora of many magnitudes worth of fans that “love” those freemium time management games like Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff and many others. It is sad, this is a genre that once ruled gaming and now it is relegated to […]

Q*Bert Homage Title, Bunny Leap, Jumps onto Google Play and iTunes
November 10th, 2015 Carl Williams
It is not all that often that we see an homage title based on Q*Bert and that is a shame. While Q*Bert is quite a misunderstood retro gaming title it is still a good one. The idea is pretty simple, just change all of the tiles on the screen to one color and you will […]
