Unity-powered horror puzzler Dying: Sinner Escape will claw its way to iOS this week - Vita release remains a mystery

Wed, 22 May 2013 20:17:00 GMT

Some things in life were just made to go together like chocolate and peanut butter, pizza and beer, and horror puzzle games and creepy abandoned buildings. For fans of the latter, the episodic Dying: Sinner Escape looks like a game in the same tradition of 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, Saw, and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. Sinner Escape's creator, Nekcom, reckons that it was created by ...

The Realm misses Kickstarter funding goal, vows to return later in the year

Wed, 22 May 2013 19:33:00 GMT

One of the hardest skills to learn in life is how to accept defeat and disappointment with dignity. Atomhawk Design, the studio behind the graphically-gorgeous adventure title The Realm, proved that it can lose with grace when it announced that it failed to reach its Kickstarter funding goal. After raising £94,527 ($142,000), Polygon reports that The Realm became one of the top funded U.K. K...

Review: Fire & Forget The Final Assault

Wed, 22 May 2013 18:00:00 GMT

Fire-and-forget is a military term relating to guided missile systems that, once locked on, can be fired without any skill or additional concern on the trigger-puller's part. It also suggests a mindless, blasé approach to destruction. Either way, Fire & Forget is an apt name for Anuman's resurrection of an old Amiga property. War veteran The game follows the original's basic template q...

Review: Dash & Bash

Wed, 22 May 2013 15:07:00 GMT

If you're the kind of person who likes to have unnaturally big eyelashes, you can now buy a brand of mascara specifically designed to make your eyelashes look as though they're fake. I don't pretend to understand how the minds of people who like to have unnaturally big eyelashes work, but this seems like an odd thing to do. In a strange way, Dash & Bash feels a bit like this brand of mascara, e...

Review: Tomb Breaker

Wed, 22 May 2013 12:00:00 GMT

The path to innovation is full of dead ends. Just because something's a little different, that doesn't mean it's worthwhile. That's what playing Tomb Breaker reminded us. It might look like yet another Bejeweled clone, but it actually plays quite differently. The trouble is, it doesn't improve on PopCap's established match-three template in any way. Game, set, match You're still matchi...
