Review by Matt S. I was truly impressed by SteamWorld Dig when I reviewed the original release of it on the Nintendo 3DS last year. It was a hugely creative little game that successfully merged platformer and Mr Driller-style play together, and mixed in a really neat steam punk theme…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. It’s no secret that I love Atelier games, with the recent Atelier Escha & Logy getting a maximum score from me for being, well, exceptional. So it should come as no surprise that I was very excited indeed to see the first teaser trailer of Gust’s Project…

Read MoreOpinion by Chris I. Rewind back a few years and tell most anyone that indie games would be earning the same respect and attention as the biggest blockbusters, and they would most likely laugh in your face. Yet, the unthinkable happened and titles like Braid, Limbo, and Bastion are well-known…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Pokémon Link: Battle! is a cheap mobile game with some nice presentation and the Pokémon license. I know that Nintendo fans hate the very idea that the company should be producing mobile games, but it’s utter nonsense to think that this particular game is anything but…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. By now I hope everyone who appreciates quality games has picked themselves up a copy of Dark Souls 2. This dynamite title is one of the finest that you’ll get to play on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 because it’s tough, but ultimately rewarding. It’s…
