I've spent some time playing the strategy game 'Codex of Victory' now it's fully released and it's quite surprising.

Some thoughts on Hard West

By Hamish,
Hard West is a hard game to recommend to anyone unwilling to subject themselves to a trial by fire. If it were a horse I would say that it tried to buck me at every possible opportunity. It almost succeeded too.

Polyball, a platformer mixed with racing arrives on Linux in Early Access, my thoughts

Some thoughts on The Original Strife: Veteran Edition

By Hamish,
Strife: Quest for the Sigil was both a critical and commercial disappointment for Rogue Entertainment in 1996, and the source code to the game was mislaid by its developers.

Hidden Folks, a fantastic and relaxing 'where's wally' game

Angels with Scaly Wings, a visual novel that's actually not bad at all

By Liam Dawe,
If you need to know something about me, it's that I usually hate visual novels with a passion. They thrust boobs and other bits in your face constantly, but Angels with Scaly Wings is different and it's quite interesting too.
