Apologies, overseas friends, but I’m sure we’ll have another contest for you soon) Stranger Of Paradise is one of the finest, and smartest, games in Square Enix’s storied series. As we wrote in our 4.5/5 review: Do you know that…
Review by Nick H. PopCap games discovered they really had something on their hands with the initial Peggle when it came out, which still ranks as one of my favourite titles of the last gaming generation. There is an enchanting sense to the proceedings, with a low barrier of entry…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Many of us who have been playing games for a long time have fond memories of Shadowgate. A classic point-and-click adventure, Shadowgate was notable for a number of reasons, but one of the key ones was that it was an especially difficult series of very abstract…
Read MoreNews by Clark A. Sword Art Online has proven to be a rather divisive show since it began airing, with many watchers either thoroughly decrying it or becoming enraptured by its high-stakes drama.

Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Despite my love for the platform, I’m always initially skeptical of the revival of old series through crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter. It’s not that I’m doubtful of the developers’ ability to produce a quality title, or their adherence to a production schedule, but rather how…

Read MoreReview by Clark A. Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress (Fuse: Teppou Musume no Torimonochou) takes place in Japan during an era that is alien to most audiences. Its narrative, too, is partly based on a Japanese work of fiction that spans over a hundred volumes. You can imagine my shock…
