Review: Pure Pool (Microsoft Xbox One)

Microsoft Xbox One/parlour game/Pool/Pure Pool/Reviews/sports game/VooFoo Studios/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. Pool is a very strategic game. It’s not just that there are the various angles and shots a person can play, but as with poker, it’s more important to consider your opponent than what is in front of you. If I do not think I can…

News by Jedediah H. While gaming has a number of tropes that should probably be toned down – like the righteous yet murderous white protagonist who wins fondles and admiration from the girl, despite all the said murder, for example – amassing a charming force of individually unique awesomeness to…

Review by Matt S. My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is not really what I expected. What I expected was one of those ridiculous hypersexualised teen romance/ drama/ slice of life dealies like Photo Kano. What I got was something that was surprisingly touching and honest. The anime follows the exploits…

Review by Nick H. With no Battlefield game on the way this year, Call of Duty gets to be the premier holiday season FPSer. With a new developer at the helm promising a host of new features and a revamp for a new generation of hardware, there was a lot…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. What if you went to sleep but couldn’t wake up? What if, to make matters worse, you were trapped in a nightmare instead of a beautiful relaxing meadow? It’s hard to imagine this, but what if you put yourself there? Addiction is a hard thing to…

Interview by David W. India and Sri Lanka have long been considered the out-sourcer’s paradise, offering a huge, highly skilled enterprise software workforce. As out-sourced business applications typically rely on the skills of those adept in meeting specification, a gap in the market has opened for entertainment software innovators. It’s…

Final Fantasy xiii-2/PC/Square Enix/Steam

Article by Nick H. Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels have been met with some mixed reactions, though most would agree that the mechanics in part XIII-2 addressed a lot of the concerns that stemmed from the first title. I know personally, I enjoyed Final Fantasy XIII-2 quite a bit…

Review by Matt S. I really wasn’t going to give in to Disney Infinity 2.0. As much as I enjoyed the first, it’s a reality that these games are a killer on the wallet, and the idea that the game would offer a whole load of new miniatures was something…
