Game Review: ‘Helheim Hassle’ Is Hel Of A Good Time!

A great big thank you to the folks at Perfectly Paranormal for allowing me to review their puzzle platformer, Helheim Hassle! Helheim Hassle follows the misadventures of Bjørn, a 14-year-old Viking that’s not really into the idea of dying in battle and going to Valhalla. As fate would have it, Bjørn dies in an act of bravery resulting in him going to Valhalla. Fast forward to the present, we meet Pesto who is from a Hell going to Helheim (Viking Hell) but ends up needing Bjørn’s help (to read runes) in return for his help, Pesto will help Bjørn go to Helheim, the only downside is… Pesto’s magic makes allows Bjørn’s limbs to fall off and move on their own. Onto the game itself! Controls can be a bit to master as certain buttons dictate what limb you want to fall off and take control of. It will take patience as some moments will require you to make decisions quickly

Survival Horror & WWI In ‘Ad Infinitum’

‘Ad Infinitum’ means again and again in the same way; forever. Kind of along the lines of the saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” That seems to be hinting at what’s going to happen to players when they play StrixLab’s upcoming survival horror game, ‘Ad Infinitum’. According to the StrixLap website, the game takes place in a trench during the First World War but there are horrific creatures stalking around in them. While playing in first person, you have to solve puzzles, avoid traps and of course, avoiding the creatures whiles the lines of insanity and the horrors of war become blurred. The game is set to be released for PC and possibly for Console, the release date is unknown at this time but after seeing the trailer, I hope it’s soon and does make it to console!

Guns and Puzzles, Scouts vs. Zombies

If you’re looking forward to the latest Zombedy to hit theatres later this month, you should check out a neat little mobile game put out by Paramount Digital Entertainment – Scouts vs. Zombies. Usually movie games get a bad rep – mostly for good reasons. However, this one varies by not relying on the storyline of the film, but rather the ability to kill zombies with the swipe of a finger. If you ever played games like Crush the Castle on ArmorGames, then you will get a kick out of SvZ. There are 5 locations, each with 20 levels, that you must think and shoot your way through. Taking aim with your finger of choice, your bullets rebound off walls until it doesn’t want to, or all zombies in the level are dead. And it does a nifty slow-mo close up on the final kill of the level. Certain levels allow you to collect power-ups, like extended laser sight, rubber
