Preview by Matt C. I can understand why the developers of The Messenger would take what could have been a huge, shocking twist and use it as a selling point in the game’s marketing. After all, the thing I’m talking about is one of the most visible ways of distinguishing…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Having originally, and successfully, released on the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One back in January, the PC version of the latest Monster Hunter is now here. Having been very well received by fans and critics alike, Capcom has taken the time to get the PC…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. When I last wrote about The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince (way back in February!), I knew it was only a matter of time until the game was announced for the West. And the time is nigh! The smart people over at NIS America also…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. How do you review a game that, in your heart, you know is good… but that you struggled with an absurd amount? That’s the interesting situation I currently find myself in. I’ve been open in the past about my (self-described) limited mental capacity due to chronic…

Read MoreNews by Matt S. “Welcome to the job” is the kind of tag line that could go so, so wrong for a video game. Games aren’t meant to be jobs, after all. And yet, it’s an appropriate tag line for Football Manager and, further to that, these games are somehow…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Colin Thiele’s Storm Boy is an iconic piece of children’s literature.
