McPixel Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

McPixel  is the funniest point & click adventure i played in a long time.

The idea is simple, but very addicting. You play as McPixel, and your job is to prevent disasters, in the most nonsensical way possible. 

Just as an example, in one of the less ridiculous levels, you have to save Titanik, by jumping overboard, and pushing the ship away from the iceberg. The game Is just the silliest thing ever.

The gameplay is the standard point & click formula, with a twist. You have 20 seks, to complete a level, in that time you can do only one action. If you get in wrong, you watch a funny fail animation, and if you get it right, you watch an even funnier success cinematic.

This is one of those games, that are best played with fiends. You just give the game to someone that never played it before, so he doesn't know the answers, and you will have the time of your life. 

You will sill enjoy the game, if you are alone, but not nearly as much.

To top it all off, McPixel is a very funny game, if you play it with friends, or alone, its up to you. 

I hope you liked my review of  .

Shank Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

Shank is a side-scrolling, beat 'em up (or brawler) that is in the style of Streets Of Rage, or Double Dragon.

The game has a classic revenge story. Shank is looking for the murderer of his girlfriend- The Butcher. Its a  good, simple and well written story, that will keep you fairly interested. 

This is one of the few brawlers, to come out in recent years and its a good one. Shank can perform three attack - light, heavy and range.

For your light attacks, you always use two knifes, a fast, but fairly weak weapon. For your heavy, and range attacks, you can choose from a large selection of weapons, ranging from chainsaws, to shotguns. 

Your arsenal also contains grenades and a pounce attack, that lets you grab enemies and do powerful moves on them.

   

The most important thing for a brawler is combo linking, and Shank has perfected that to the limit. Every time you attack, you feel like a bad ass, because the combos link very nicely together, and the game has very satisfying ragdoll physics. 

Also you can juggle someone with your shotgun, and that definitely is a selling point for Shank.

Of course, the game has some issues. For example the tutorial is kind of useless. You learn that you can attack ... but you knew that already. So you have to learn the controls, with testing all of them, or memorizing them from the controls menu.  

Also playing with keyboard is hard, so i strongly recommend useing a 360 controller, or some kind of PC pad.

One last thing, this game has a really nice cel-shad graphics style, that reminds me a lot of Borderlands and The Walking Dead.   

To top it all of, Shank is a great 2D brawler, that resembles a lot of classic games, but with a modern twist.

I hope you liked my review of Shank.
