by

by

Andy O’Flaherty with some first impressions of Stable Orbit… “From the lead PC programmer that brought you Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Tomb Raider”, blurbs the teaser trailer for Stable Orbit, the new Early Access strategy game from Codalyn and Green Man Gaming.

Video Game Review – Plantera

by

Andy O’Flaherty reviews Plantera… It’s all Cookie Clicker‘s fault. Since its release in 2013 we have seen a massive influx of the ‘incremental’ or ‘clicker’ – a fairly basic genre of video game that tasks (and I use that term loosely) the player to perform simple tasks to acquire some sort of in-game currency.
