Review by Andrew M. I didn’t really know what to expect when loading up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate for the first time. With this being my first taste of the uber-popular Castlevania series, I was pleasantly surprised and taken back to the side scrolling adventures I…
Read MoreReview by Max S. Silent Valley: Mystery Mansion HD is a video game. A point-and-click adventure game, to be precise. And that’s about all there is to say about it. It’s a video game that I installed on my iPad and played for a few minutes and didn’t dislike. Then…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I loved Assassin’s Creed 3. I realise that’s a controversial statement to make for the fans of the earlier AC games, especially considering that I wasn’t a fan of the series until AC3 (at all), but the trip through early-era America was for me a revelation.…
