Review by Matt S. I love a good paradox. They’re the brain twisters for the intelligent, and also philosophy that everyone can think about. Integrate a good paradox into a narrative and you’ll effortlessly engage your reader or viewer as they ponder over the ideas and theories that you’re throwing…
Read MoreThis week in the News Wrap, BG took a look at the monstrous cost of the PS4 in Brazil, the return of a classic flight sim in Red Baron, a super impressive trailer for Super Mario 3D World and CosPlay. Lots and lots of CosPlay. So, new car or PS4?…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. On paper, Deadly Premonition might seem like an awful game, and a majority of gamers and critics would have agreed with that sentiment back in 2010, when the game launched on the Xbox 360.

Read MoreReview by Clark A. For all its critical and sales successes, the Pokémon franchise has been lambasted by an increasingly vocal minority for reusing the same formula over and over again. Enter Pokémon X (and Y) for the 3DS, arguably the most ambitious title the main series has seen in…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Exhibit A: Dead or Alive. A game that features rather lovely ladies (and men, but no one really pays any attention to them, do they?) wearing rather… lovely… costumes beating the living bejeebus out of one another. Dead or Alive is a popular franchise. I get…
Read MoreJ-Stars Victory Vs. is bringing together a lot of popular anime characters and cramming them into a single fighting game. Crossovers are nothing new – in fact we have been seeing a lot of them lately from different companies (such as the Street Fighter and Tekken crossover or the huge…
