    Ten Pence Arcade - 226 - Dead Connection

    Dead Connection: In a fit of mad hysteria Shaun called this game "A nice polished game with some janky elements". A mish-mash dichotomy of contradictions right there. But Dead Connection does deserve some praise. It looks good. It sounds good. The cut-scenes are good.  But it plays like a fish.
