Achievement And Trophy Hunting – Is There A Community In The Hunt?

Hunting achievements has become a way of life for many and a great escape to explore games. Achievements go back as far as 1982. Starting with leaderboards and Evolving in 2010 when Xbox with focused accomplishments in form of achievement lists. Since then all platforms have been using this system to create play-ability, goals and have built a massive community around them. In this time we have had 3 generations of consoles. Some believe achievements are a waste of time. While others have used it to test their skills and reflexes.

Ghostanoid Review – Another Brick In The Wall?

So here we are, a new brick breaker. This one is Ghostanoid from developers Qplaze (Real Blockcraft, Galaxy Warfighter) and publishers JoyBits (Doodle God, Commando). The game will release on Nintendo Switch on January 21st 2021. Still weird typing 2021 instead of 2020. Ghostanoid - Another Brick In The Wall? Let's take a look and see what I think of Ghostanoid. Will it be a smash hit for the Switch? Or just another brick in the wall? Gameplay Ghostanoid has gameplay akin to the classic brick breaker Arkanoid. There's a certain trick to getting through the levels as quick as possible and that's to hit the ghosts by bouncing balls into them as you can see on the levels as below. Each level has slightly more blocks (or furniture in the case of this game) that you have to break bef...

Space Invaders Forever Review – Can It Really Last Forever?

Like the year 2020, Space Invaders is a franchise that will seemingly never end. So it seems only fitting that we end the year talking about Space Invaders Forever. Though Space Invaders isn't quite the name it used to be, there is no argument that it has stood the test of time where many others have fallen. Over 40 years ago (1978 to be exact) it helped pave the way for gaming as we know it. As an effort to keep kids pumping in their quarters, they inadvertently invented the difficulty curve. It has seen many changes over the years, but one thing that remains is that everyone knows what a Space Invader looks like. It is iconic! Space Invaders Forever Is A Unique Bijou Compilation Space Invaders Forever is developed by the original developers Taito and published by ININ Games. It ...
