Hero of Sparta Review

Review by Ricky Gallo (Competition winner)

Mines in Space Review

by Matt Dunn
Minesweeper. For many, it’s one of the first games you ever became addicted to. To others, it’s the game your mom is addicted to (and the only thing she knows how to work on her computer). Mines in Space is Minesweeper… except about 10x cooler, with four sides of awesome.

Outer Space Review

Review by Matt Dunn
Every once and a while there’s an independent game that really shines despite pre-play impressions. Outer Space is that game. Don’t mind if what you first assumed seemed less than impressive. It’s a fun, varied, and extremely challenging game for $5.99. But is it worth that price?
