What we’re left with is half a game. Gnomes Garden 8: Return of the Queen stops abruptly halfway, thanks to a critical save bug, and it’s a flip of a coin whether you will emerge with your save game in one piece afterwards. At the moment it’s a no-brainer - don’t dare play this. Wait and see if 8floor address the issue.
Greyhill Incident feels like an unfortunate swing and a miss at a hugely underused slice of horror. Using Greys as a threat should make for a rather tense and scary alien abduction experience, but whilst Greyhill Incident is indeed horrific, sadly it is done so in all the wrong ways.
The action is too frenetic that any enjoyment you could get out of Plunder Panic is stunted by not knowing what is going on around you. With fewer players you can get a bit of enjoyment out of it, but even that quickly goes.
If Strategic Mind: The Pacific could have been streamlined a little, optimised for the console market, it could have been a contender, but as it is the obstacles to just getting on with the game are too damn high. And that's a shame. A massive shame.
Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover’s core issues remain since the first outing, but some small improvements have been made. Despite this, on balance it will take a lot more to make this a game to recommend.
