Line of Defense Tactics Community Page Line Of Defense Tactics reminds me a lot of X-COM: Enemy Unknown. The gameplay is very similar with a focus of real time tactics and strategic gameplay. It definitely lacks some of the depth that X-COM has, but this can mostly be forgiven as it is a mobile game after all. The average level has you leading your squad of super soldiers through a series of sci-f...

The gameplay in Hero Factory: Invasion From Below is solid but nothing ground breaking. The average story mission has you playing as one of the coloured heroes as they explore the level finding Lego parts so you can upgrade into a Battle Machine, so you can go fight the levels boss. The levels are very small and boring. The only interesting parts of the levels are the enemies but even then they be...

I think the recent Flappy Bird fiasco has really shown how low the standards of mobile games are nowadays. It wasn't hard to tell that Flappy Bird wasn't exactly the absolutely greatest game out on the mobile platform, and when it was taken down the app store has gotten flooded with Flappy Bird rip-offs. So now we have an appsolute (see what I did there? it was terrible I know) landslide of Crappy...

Loadout is one of the best examples of gun customization in any game, period. The amount of combinations is endless and is, in my opinion one of the games main selling points. Not many games offer such a wide array of choice and customization as Loadout. There are so many different parts you can put on the weapons and so many different ways you can style the weapons and they all have a substantial...

Jetpack Joyride Community Page The overall concept of Jetpack Joyride is the same as many mobile games available nowadays. You basically fly through the level tapping and holding the screen to stay in the air whilst dodging obstacles and collecting coins. As far as game concepts go it's not exactly a huge innovation, however it is executed well. The controls are responsive and easy to use, it's al...

Temple Run 2 plays very much like the original game, with the basic premise being identical to the original Temple Run. You play as an explorer who was raiding a temple , until he was chased by a massive skeleton monkey. You need to control the explorer as he runs away from the massive monkey collecting coins along the way and dodging obstacles. You dodge obstacles by either tilting your device to...

I think all people who played Just Cause 2 had fantasies of a multiplayer mode being made. The idea of surfing planes into the ocean with a friend was just an awesome thing to imagine. So everyone was delighted and surprised when it actually happened. All my fantasies of having extreme bus races with another person were realised, and more. The game play is practically identical to the original gam...

Finally the long awaited standalone version of DayZ has come out in pre-alpha. Too be honest I was really excited when I saw DayZ had been released on Steam. The mod was and still is one of the best mods of all time and I was excited to see if the standalone game could fill the almighty boots left behind by the original mod. The gameplay is left mostly unchanged, the core gameplay remains intact....

Injustice: Gods Among Us Community Page I'm glad Netherrealm returned to making a DC heroes fighting game. Their last attempt at a DC heroes fighting game was MK vs DC which was a crossover fighting game between the Mortal Kombat characters and DC heroes. MK vs DC was panned widely by critics and was definitely a subpar entry in Netherrealms fighting game roster. So one could be forgiven for think...

Counter Strike Global Offensive Community Page The Counter Strike series has much the same origins as Dota. It began as an extremely popular mod and Valve scooped up the developers top help them make more games in the series. In this case Counter Strike was a mod for the original Half Life and has become one of Valves most popular games. All these modes have clear objectives and are fun to play, m...
