In a world where monsters and colossal beasts roam the forests; where brave souls venture out to see the world, will you be the one who… profits? If you’ve ever fantasised about being the charming shopkeeper in an RPG, or wanted a game where you don’t need to monitor every minute, then “Merchant” fills up that role quite nicely. Released on 21 December 2015 (factcheck needed), Merchant has developed quite a name for itself. Within the three weeks of its release, it has managed to find its own community online, with a subreddit for discussion and its own Wikia page to boot.…

Welcome to Mobile Mondays at DANamic.ORG! So mobile games have quickly taken over a large portion of the gaming industry and here at DANamic.ORG, we recognise that people like to spend their lunch breaks on games available on their phones. We’ll be showcasing games from the App Store (and Google Play) that we find interesting enough to capture your attention. Let’s get started with Mobile Mondays! Science-fiction is one thing I never seem to have any interest in. Maybe it’s because I’m terrified of suffocating in space (though it’s more of decompression with your blood boiling). Or maybe it’s because I’m…

Welcome to the new year, folks! So mobile games have quickly taken over a large portion of the gaming industry and here at DANamic.ORG, we recognise that people like to spend their lunch breaks on games available on their phones. So starting today, we’ll be showcasing games from the App Store (and Google Play) that we find interesting enough to capture your attention. Let’s get started with Mobile Mondays! “Ellie” is an escape game that was made a few years ago by a Japanese development team, who then translated it into English and released it onto the App Store. While the…

In a significantly shorter time than most Starcraft games, the final chapter in Starcraft II dropped on November 10 this year, ruining relationships everywhere as guys alternated between “Fallout 4” and “Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void” (LotV). As the last game (for now), LotV had a lot to fix from the previous instalment “Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm” in terms of multi-player and campaign mode. Will it prove a fitting finale or a or a faulty title? Starcraft II is the successor to Blizzard Entertainment’s highly successful Starcraft series. Known for giving teenagers carpal tunnel and even bringing Korea into the…

Point and Click games have been a part of gaming since the introduction of the point-and-click interface and are pretty good ways to get people into video gaming. For most part, they are simple to pick up, are thoroughly oversaturated when it comes to free games and often have enough puzzles to keep your attention for quite some time; at times even being slightly addictive. Occasionally, Point and Click games come with witty dialogue (Here’s to you, Secret of Monkey Island) or an exciting plot to hold your interest until the end (The Last Door or Sherlock Holmes series are…

Welcome to the Gaming Vertical where I have no absolute clue what I’m doing here… No, seriously, last thing I remembered before I became a Gaming writer was getting a drink from the bar. Did someone put something in my- Anyway, according to instructions left here in this dank basement furnished with a pretty beefed up computer (the room has no windows or ventilation so I’m assuming this is a basement), I’m supposed to be talking to you about video games. Narrative spiel aside, I’ll be happy to talk about video games so let’s start off with something casual to…

We couldn’t have been the only ones breathing out sighs of disappointment when Blizzard announced that they’ve officially cancelled “Starcraft: Ghost” last year. At least when it was placed on indefinite hold back in 2006, we had a novel to tide us over for Blizzard’s Starcraft third-person shooter (it is as cool as it sounds). Well, sigh no more! After 13 years, you can finally play as the protagonist from “Starcraft: Ghost”, Nova, in “Heroes of the Storm”! But it’s not a third-person shooter… /small sigh/ At least there’s “Overwatch” for a Blizzard-made shooter. “Heroes of the Storm” is Blizzard’s…

In case you haven’t heard, the Pokémon franchise announced last week the launch of “Pokémon GO“, Nintendo’s overdue foray into the mobile app market. Arriving in 2016, the new release brings the familiar gameplay of the Pokémon series to the boundary lines of augmented reality. /collective sobbing from an entire generation of 90’s kids/ So basically, the mobile app notifies you of Pokémon “hiding” (sorry, those inverted commas were offensive) around your area, which prompts you to get closer in order to battle or capture the wild Pokémon. It’s reminiscent of questionable dating app Tinder, but without the… you know. The aim of…
