The Purring Quest | Review
The Purring Quest is a game by cat lovers, for cat lovers. Valhalla Cats, the Spanish studio behind the game, proudly state on their website that each member of the team has at least one cat. However, the game's tag-line "have you ever wanted to be a cat?" is not entirely apt. The Purring Quest is not a sim game, nor does it offer the multitude of interactions found in the PS2 adventure game Dog's Life, with its similar tag line: "It's great being a dog." Rather, It's a somewhat old-school platformer, with increasingly difficult stages ending in a boss fight or similar encounter.
Triple Triad Mobile | Review
For me, Final Fantasy VIII is not a game, it is a biennial event...Once every couple of years I'll visit gamefaqs.com for the brilliant walkthrough by Alex and proceed to go through every inch of Final Fantasy VIII, max out the stats, beat every boss, whistle at every chocobo...and of course, collect every card for the unique Triple Triad mini game. So it was with equal parts optimism and absolute dread that I decided to play Triple Triad Mobile. Thankfully the Triple Triad collectible card game has made its move to mobile quite gracefully though not without problems
Crypt of the Necrodancer | Review
While Crypt of the Necrodancer comes dangerously close to being repetitive, it's (mostly) fair balance between gradual upgrades and increasing enemy difficulty keeps it fresh, at least until you've seen all there is to see. The incredibly strong melodies of the soundtrack mean you don't get tired of hearing the same tracks a lot and the merchant found on each level sometimes sings along in a hilarious midi voice which is always a treat.
