First Impressions on Hearthstone

Hearthstone is Blizzard’s entry into the rapidly growing and very competitive arena of online trading card games. Over the past 2 years we have seen a massive surge in online TCG's being produced, with games such as Scrolls, Solforge and Might and Magic all entering this lucrative market.While Hearthstone is not strictly a TCG (as there is no trading between players)it is most defiantly a collectable card game and has all the elements of a...

Outlast Review (Spoiler free) and Gameplay Videos

I’m someone who’s fairly new to the horror genre when it comes to games, and being a huge fan of scary films – I was desperate to find a game that could capture the same experience. Most people would agree that 'Amnesia' is the go-to game for horror, so I was rather sceptical about the potential of Outlast. But every game deserves a chance, and Outlast does not disappoint. The game opens with the main protagonist, who is a journalist...

Scrolls Draft Format: Judgement

Out on the test server and hopefully coming to the Beta server towards the end of the month, is the new scrolls draft format Judgement. For those not aware, a draft game is where you will build a deck from a restricted card pool, which is (to a degree) chosen by yourself, from a few options and a smaller deck size. In the Scrolls draft you will be presented with four Scrolls of which you can choose one.  You can see the next...

Gone Home Review

Gone Home is more of an interactive story than an actual game, but this shouldn’t stop you from enjoying this unique and refreshing experience. The opening of the game sets an unsettling mood; you are in control of Kaitlin Greenbriar who arrives home at night, in the middle of a thunderstorm. There is a note from your sister Sam on the door, who says she has gone away and that we are not to worry (which of course, has the opposite effect)....

Decay Pre-Constructed Tutorial

The week of Decay is finally upon us and Scrolls has now released its fourth resource. Many of us have been anticipating this moment for months, and those who don’t have access to the test server could only await it’s arrival. Player numbers soared during the release day, and it’s been great to see so many people getting back into the game. As is the nature of TCG’s, it’s difficult to keep people engaged with the game and there...

Shiny new avatars!

On Thursday this week, both Rastien and Grumpcat of  hurrandurr.com were lucky enough to receive their very own hand drawn Scrolls avatars! The exceptionally talented Poi from Mojang was kind enough to create these amazing avatars below. She asked us which unit in scrolls we liked the most and she personified us into them! I have to say that her work is very impressive and we are delighted with the results.  As we are part of the...

A look at Decay, Scrolls newest resource

Decay, the new resource for Scrolls has been released on the test server! Decay is just as unique as the other resources in scrolls, it relies on powerful poison spells and enchantments to keep the enemy creatures at bay, and benefits from units dying - including your own! In this set of videos Hurr and Durr play two games each against the hard AI,  and two games against each other. Mono Decay (Durr) Vs...

Surgeon Simulator 2013: A true test in patience

Surgeon Simulator 2013 is about as far away from an actual simulator as you can get. The title of the game itself is completely tongue in cheek. The controls are probably some of the worst and most difficult I have ever encountered. I kind of get that this is meant to be the point but it's truly horrendous, as I shall elaborate on later. You play the game as a 'surgeon', although all you will ever see is a floating hand. The first...

GrumpCat’s Guide to Positioning Units

Most of you will already be aware of basic strategic positioning, such as gaining control of the middle lane. However, positioning units goes beyond simply placing a unit on a particular lane. I’ve seen a fair amount of players putting strong units in harm’s way, when this could be completely prevented. This guide will hopefully provide you with a basic understanding on keeping your units alive. Structures   There are certain...

Sacrificing: Scrolls or Resources ?

      One of the big mistakes I’ve seen from new players is sacrificing for scrolls when they should be sacrificing for resources. I’m going to explain the different situations you will encounter during play, and how I generally deal with them. You should be sacrificing for either scrolls or resources every single turn, unless you are confronted with a situation where you are forced to play your hand without doing either. For...

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Dust is a game that harks back to the good old days of Castlevania and Metroid, a 2-D side-scroller with fast paced frantic combat and RPG elements, with a solid story built in to boot. First of all the game is just beautiful to look at, the hand painted graphics and character design is brilliant. Considering that everything in this game was made and designed by one man is truly inspiring. The combat strikes the perfect balance...

The Scrolls Resources

      With beta just around the corner, we thought that now would be the best time to go through the three resources in a bit more detail. When you log into the game, you will be asked to choose your first precon deck from the three resources. You will be able to buy the other precons later using gold or shards. For many alpha players who experienced a pre-beta reset, choosing their precon deck was a difficult choice to make....
