Review by Nick H. Something about the Tesoro Durandal Ultimate G1NL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard clicked with me almost the moment I took it out of the box. It feels sturdy, looks sharp and keys immediately felt good and tactile. The form is definitely there, but the function is even more…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Way back when the PlayStation Vita first launched, one of the must-own games was Disgaea 3: Absense of Detention. It may have been little more than a remake and so didn’t really help the impression many had (and continue to have) that the Vita lacks “exclusive…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. The PlayStation 3 just won’t die. Even as I’m meant to be playing my PlayStation 4 more and more developers continue to produce PlayStation 3 games that I just can’t ignore. I was able to play through the first hour or so of Ar Nosurge recently,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We’ve seen plenty of single-player games borrow elements from MMOs in the past, especially in terms of the combat system.

Read MorePreview by Rob P. I shot a goat today. One minute it was happily munching on some irradiated, post-nuclear scrubland. Then I stole its water bowl, and it attacked me. So I shot it. Bam! No more goat. It’s hardly the worst of videogame crimes, but it continues to gnaw…
Read MoreNews by Clark A. Hanamonogatari, the latest arc of Nisio Isin’s Monogatari series, aired on Japanese television last week as one lengthy marathon. English-speaking fans won’t have to wait long at all to catch up on the latest arc, though, and they won’t have to jump through hoops to watch…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. One of my favourite tower defence games of all time is Cubemen 2. Players create little… cube men, and then set them around a grid-like environment to protect their flag from invading hordes of enemy cube men. But that’s just one mode. There are actually seven…

We’ve seen plenty of stories in the past about kids hurling themselves into fantastic adventures in “other worlds.” There’s the obvious examples, such as Alice in Wonderland and The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe, but it’s a common enough theme that it probably deserves a…
