Gimme Mo’ Of The Gimmiko Demo!
•
An Indie Game is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get! Unless they have a diagram on the back… or the label gives it away. Forrest Gump might not know much about chocolates OR video games for that matter, but I think he’d appreciate my…
You’ll Want To Unearth The Secrets Of Suburbia Demo!
•
Ah, the 90’s: flannel shirts, Tamagotchis, Hanson, and dial-up internet. As a 90’s spawn myself, my memories of the decade are mixed, to say the least. Like the generations before me, however, I too must accept that I’m officially old enough to be considered retro. Okay, I’m back from a…
How Deep Does the Shovel Game Demo Go?
•
I have a confession to make. Trudging aimlessly across the sprawling desert of AAA titles and their crisp, borderline photorealistic graphics, a bizarre Indie Game with equally unnerving graphics is, to me, like coming across a vast oasis in a sea of tepidity. There’s a special spot nestled within the…
What Lies Beyond the Doors?
•
Ahh, Indie Games… where the mundane becomes miraculous. It’s truly impressive how the right game can make menial labor compelling and rote tasks remarkable. While the average gamer might not leap at certain tasks in real life, simulations are a different story. Whether it’s washing dishes or piecing together a…
Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion Is Hotter Than a Pistol
•
The best and worst part about indie games is that for every hidden gem you find, countless more are left by the wayside. Some get their fifteen minutes of fame fifteen years too late. Others lie dormant, left to rot until they’re discovered in a sale like a lost mummy’s…
The Motorslice Demo is a Cut Above the Rest!
•
Megastructures! They seem to pop up everywhere these days, don’t they? Sprawling shapes, brutalist buildings… it’s enough to make you dizzy! Regular Studio and its newest hit-in-the-making Motorslice is anything but ordinary, though! Pulse-pounding parkour, frantic fights, and sensational set-pieces await you in this platformer par excellence–watch your step! Romp…
SSR Wives: The Murder of My Winter Crush KILLS It!
•
It’s a rare, rare thing when a game evokes the same uncanny feeling I felt marathoning Silent Hill as a kid. Even rarer when my chosen protagonist is a, quote, ‘Puppy Girl’. SSR Wives: The Murder of My Winter Crush might appear tongue-in-cheek, but after playing the demo it’s clear…
For The Zakon Demo, The Sky’s The Limit!
•
It’s Victory Day in Krasnogorie. Thanks to the wisdom and courage of Great Leader Vozhd, the city celebrates the 80th Anniversary of the war’s end… and a promising future for all! You’ve been selected to pilot the Krasnogorie Police Force’s brand-new fighter jet. Put on a good show and don’t…
The Metal Eden Demo: Paradise Lost?
•
I fondly recall the time I’d spent after school on Fridays wandering the game aisles at Blockbuster Video. For the readers who aren’t dinosaurs, in ancient times gamers used to peruse the games available and rent one for the weekend. This outing became even more exciting once they started to…
Is the DEFICIT Demo Fun? Most DEF!
•
Hadrian’s Wall… no, not that one. A concrete labyrinth filled to the brim with ruthless robots, mad science, and an army of security goons itching for a head to cave in! Guess who has to break in? Codename: Carrie. Mission: Infiltrate Project Sidereal and steal ‘The Interpolator’. Oh, and don’t…
