Game Review – Cook, Serve, Delicious!
Cook, Serve, Delicious! by Vertigo Gaming is an entry in the woefully underrepresented hardcore time management genre.

Game Review – Shotgun FunFun
Shotgun FunFun by Chad Chisholm is a condensed action package, made to help you kill a few minutes and get your humanoid-but-not-quite-human-murdering fix. Your goal is simple, survive for as long as possible and blast as many ‘demons’ back to hell before you, invariably, die. There’s not much to it beyond that. The formula is […] More

GameMaker Community “Reviewer’s Choice” Forum Still Redundant
In not-so-breaking news, the unpopular Reviewer’s Choice forum over at the official GameMaker Community board remains a neglected, inbred part of the community, where game reviews are written by and for the same people. Reviewer’s Choice allows game developers (namely hobbyists) to submit their GameMaker creations for review. A team of writers, made up of […] More
