Tricky Towers Xbox Review – Tetris For Lovers Of Physics

Tricky Towers is basically a more modern version of Tetris, but with a magical and physics based twist. It also aims to get players together both locally, and Online to build their clumsy tower of bricks in various game modes. It’s recently launched on the Xbox One. The original game, developed by Weird Beard Games, launched on Steam and PS4 back in 2016. It went on to port to the Xbox One in September 2017 thanks to BlitWorks, with an exclusive game mode which I’ll touch on shortly. Whilst the title bears incredible similarities to Tetris, even down to every one of the standard blocks, the gameplay itself is different. Rather than clearing rows as you do in the 1984 classic, Tricky Towers finds you trying to stack the blocks as neatly as you can in order to form a tower, and depending ...

Sonic Forces PC Review – Not The Sonic You Are Used To

The last time I played a Sonic the Hedgehog game I was eight years younger. My experience with Sonic ’06 was about as fun as locking yourself in a bathroom, huffing paint thinner and watching reruns of The A-Team. My weekend plans aside* I was also asked to play Sonic Forces, the newest iteration of that scruffy blue hedgehog that if animal control got its hands on would be put down before you could even utter the words “Gotta go fast”. I can’t even begin to review Sonic Forces properly without first noting the controversy surrounding its release. Year after year, mediocre Sonic games come out, and this one seems to be no exception to that rule. Bearing in mind I’m writing this paragraph while still downloading the game. After looking around on the internet though this game has been rec...

Expand Review – A Monochrome Masterpiece

Expand is a puzzle based game, published and developed by Chris Johnson. It made its debut on PC back in 2015 (more than likely under the radar for most of you), and now it’s made its ‘debut’ on consoles (also probably under the radar for most of you). I am a bit of a puzzle fan (usually in physical form rather than video games), so let’s not waste any time and get stuck in. Gameplay The Premise of Expand is very simple, guide a pink square through a series of puzzles and mazes to collect a pink ‘quadrant’. There are 4 of these quadrants to collect each of which come with a different type of level (or puzzle), each of which take approx. 30 mins to complete. Then there's one final area which combines all of these as a ‘final challenge’ of sorts. Expand is unusual in the way that it’...

Mahjong Deluxe 3 Review – PONG!

Mahjong, the tile-based puzzle game from China during the Qing Dynasty has yet another released as a video game. These games have been released year after year on various formats and yet they always seem to pop up so there must be a fan base out there somewhere. Having got the opportunity to give the latest version of the matching pairs game by EnsenaSoft a playthrough I couldn't resist. Puzzle games are scarily addictive and even more scarily simplistic in their design, find a pair, essentially that is the essence of the game. So what is new about Mahjong Deluxe 3? Not a lot, the game covers 8 worlds with a grand total of 640 puzzles ranging from nice and easy to ridiculously complicated puzzle boards. The best addition that you might enjoy is the move onto 3D puzzle boards, allowing y...
