News by Matt S. Koei Tecmo is bringing Atelier Rorona to the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. And it may well be a different game to the JRPG classic on the PlayStation 3 and Vita. See, the Atelier Rorona on the Nintendo 3DS has a completely different art style to the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Disney Magical World is an example of a game that takes inspiration from elsewhere, and then does its own thing with from that basis, and in the process becomes something unique and worthy in its own right. Borrowing heavily from the raw concept of Animal Crossing,…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. For the 35th anniversary of the Alien franchise, Sega and The Creative Assembly have released Alien: Isolation. I can’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate one of the most beloved sci-fi horror films ever made. The game takes place 15 years after the events…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Power Rangers Super Megaforce draws heavily on the long running show, its story is basic and uninspired, and most of the gameplay elements are no better. That is not to say it is a terrible game, but Power Rangers Super Megaforce is pedestrian at best, and…
