Warframe Community Page Do games need a story to be fun? You might say co-op based online gaming is the cat's pajamas. If cats wore pajamas that is. Or if these games didn't sacrifice so much depth in order to fit cats with human garments. The important thing is that there is a right way to do co-operative online gaming. Warframe may have taken a bit of a wrong turn on its way there. Digital Extre...

How often do you play a new first person shooter and not weep in response to boring and used up mechanics? Tactical Intervention, designed by Counter Strike co-creator Minh Le, makes what appears to be an effort to liven up the world of tactical shooters. It seems to target those fans of the series. While it isn't a direct part of the CS series, it does take much of its influence from those games...

The galaxy can at times be an overwhelming and dangerous place. Though it isn't quite as bad with a fleet of armed space ships at your command. Master of Orion, a 4X game released in 1993, is the inspiration that went into the development of FreeOrion. The team behind FreeOrion developed and maintains the project with the goal of creating a complex universe while retaining their central design phi...

Red Bull Racers Community Page Red Bull Racers harks back to the joy of Scalextric tracks as a kid. Scalextric all about driving cars round crazy, twisting circuits and getting the perfect balance between speed and stability, though watching the cars fly off the tracks was often one of the highlights. Red Bull Racers tries to tap into this with a very similar gameplay system, and it does it very w...

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...

Royal Revolt 2 Community Page It’s dangerously addictive and packed full of character, with an impressive amount of content at launch, and almost endless possibilities for future expansion. Taking a detour from the usual free-to-play games which try and enforce microtransactions at every opportunity, Royal Revolt 2 is an enjoyable and complete experience that proves that free-to-play games doesn’t...

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...
