  I talked about about my fun with the game in our indie roundup, but you can now see it for yourself. Carve out 12 minutes, because this a long one.

  In Homefront: The Revolution’s alternate history, North Korea embraces free trade following the Korean War. The country becomes home to a Steve Jobs-like tech genius and the nation flourishes by becoming technologically superior.
  Of course, with all of the tech coming out of North Korea and the United States’ hunger for consumables and weaponry, we get into debt. A lot of debt. You can see how that plays out in the game’s opening move:

• MXM Makes A Play At The MOBA Market

While I readily acknowledge that breaking into this genre today is a difficult task, there were some cool things going on in MXM that makes it an interesting addition to the crowded competitive MOBA market. It's a "pick a character, then go push down some lanes" traditional experience at the core, but there are some new and interesting elements that help set it apart from the endless deluge of clones.

• Severed Review

  26-04-2016 17:00
  
  Twisted and bright, Severed’s world is strange, beautiful, and largely remains a mystery by the end. This first-person touch-screen action game isn’t really big on its story, which would be fine if it its combat didn’t lose its appeal halfway through the six-hour campaign. I wanted to enjoy Sasha’s adventure through this bizarre world, but it’s an unfortunately shallow journey.

But literal cheese is for crackers. Figurative cheese? Well, that’s just the glorious, stringy goo that binds together some of the finest action films this side of 1967.
