Social games have been coming to consoles more frequently on the last few months, and Wondershot from French developer Leikir Studio continues that trend. The game walks the fine line between being great for kids and borderline enjoyable for adults. My time with the game and its few characters and modes was pretty short, but it has been the go-to for my son over the last few days. Overall, Wondershot is an adequate release on Xbox One and Steam, and one that you should at least get your moneys worth on.

Mighty No. 9 is a much talked about Indie game thats coming out...sooner or later. Honestly, I don't care when its coming out. I think the game looks like a generic Mega Man game. So why am I writing about the game? Well, I have to have my say too! This is the internet!

Alone and helpless, abandoned in space with only one clear mission – return to Earth. This is the mindset we enter controlling the silent protagonist of Phosphor Games’ new title, Corpse of Discovery.

Not the first (or the last) alone-in-space game to reach our screens, Corpse of Discovery works hard to create not just a game but a story that will affect players in a big way. In some ways it succeeds, and ...

Submerged, a newly released Indie game, focuses on themes of exploration and ...
