Bleed – First Glance

How hard is it to triple jump and shoot a cat spitting fur-balls at you? That’s something that they teach in school and yet Dave somehow manages to perform poorly at it. It’s Bleed! and just so we have at least one pun in this, Dave is bloody terrible at it.

This time around, Minion gets his hands on an early copy of Beatbuddy, a music-based puzzle adventure game with super pretty visuals and sweet electroswing tunes. Naturally, he then proceeds to brag about how he got to play it before you, and then gushes about his time with it.

Opinion: On Rogue Legacy and Coprolalia

Rush Bros – First Glance

Dave and Minion put on their headphones and compete in Rush Bros, it’s what Super Meat Boy would look like if you added dubstep, competitive multiplayer and traps. Will Minion finally become the master or will Dave put him in his place?

Primal Fears (Co-Op) – First Glance

Dave enlists the help of the three stooges to try and help him in showcasing Primal Fears’ Co-Op mode. Will the game manage to successfully tap in to their fears? Or will it just scare them with how bad it is?

Fly’N – First Glance

Dave takes a look at the colourful Puzzle Platformer Fly’N. He is the master of the platforms, but is he the master of puzzles?
