Put simply, Death Puck is Air Hockey with a weird attitude laid over blood and gore. And if that wasn't good enough for you; it's actually a highly entertaining game.
The essentially game premise is real simple; score 15 points against your opponent by smashing the puck past him with your paddle on what the game refers to as "the table of honour", but what everyone else in the world refers to as "the air hockey table".
First to 15 wins. Simple and boring right? Na-ah.
Death Puck takes it a lot further than that. For starters the game has various modes; 'Tournament' in which you face all of the preset characters (one of whom for reasons best known to the developer is 'Joe Stalin'...), 'Quick Match' mode in which you can choose which opponent how many points the game will last and on which table you will play it, 'Survival Mode' in which you see how many opponents you can beat with just 15 points allowed to be scored against you and 'Streak Mode' (or "moding of the streak" as the game sound effects call it) in which you see how many opponents you can beat in a row.

Looking at the way the gaming world has evolved it'd be pretty stupid to lump all modern “Gamers” into the historical stereotype of nerdy, single, over- or under-weight guys with nothing better to do than perhaps play the odd game of tabletop Dungeons & Dragons and lay the smack down on Doom for several weeks with other local geeks and a self-organised LAN party – but this is exactly how wider industry and commerce have been categorising the gaming community right up until very recently indeed.Wed, 06 February 2008 09:42AM3 Comments

From the people who brought you the fantastic 'Hoards of Orcs' comes "Big Brain Games" - a brain training suite of mini 'puzzle' games wrapped in a 3D engine to keep you on your toes and at the computer; monging out almost completely while paradoxically expanding your brain capacity and giggle like a school girl at the comedic touches this studio seem to lace their productions with.Tue, 22 April 2008 06:33AM0 Comments

First things first; this game is freakin' awesome. No doubt, it's a winner. As is so often the case simplicity and twisted humour wins the day again with us simple SGR reviewer folk. Hordes of Orcs is a game of castle defense and tower carnage, we've all seen these before, but this one is better than the vast majority. It sounds good, looks great and plays like a dream - it's addictive to digital crack levels too.Thu, 10 April 2008 09:50AM1 Comment
