Review by Matt S. Dodo Peak isn’t the kind of game that you’ll remember six months down the track. But it is the kind of game that you’ll come across randomly when browsing through your library of games, remember that you actually really enjoyed playing it, and load it up…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Playing Destroy All Humans! for the first time in 2020 is an… odd experience. This is a remake of a game that first came out in 2005, created as a parody of Cold War-era science fiction B movies, yet its satire feels as relevant and pointed…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Carrion is visceral. I’m actually tempted to leave my review at that, because that describes the game’s core motif and aesthetic, its principle appeal, and it’s the perfect word to describe whether the game is right for you or not. Carrion is exquisitely violent, evocatively malevolent,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. With Rock of Ages 3, ACE Team is done. That’s not a criticism of the game, but rather an acknowledgement that there’s just nothing more to eke more out of the formula. As an eclectic blend of tower defence, Monkey Ball, Monty Python and party game,…

Read MoreReview by Matt S Deadly Premonition was released ten years ago now, and you’d think that in that time people would have learned. But, nope. Ten years ago people fixated on technical issues of that game at the expense of the greater point, only for Deadly Premonition to eventually become…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Devolver Digital and developer, Flying Wild Hog, have announced the third in the Shadow Warrior series, which Flying Wild Hog picked up and rebooted back in 2014. This announcement came with a trailer that is… well, classic Shadow Warrior stuff. Shadow Warrior is irreverent, to put…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Le sigh. If you want any more proof that game publishers are more than willing to throw the heritage of their beloved properties under the bus in order to make a quick buck, let’s look at Worms Rumble. Worms is a series of clever turn-based tactical…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Last of Us Part II is a difficult game to review. That’s not to say that there isn’t anything worth talking about in it, because there is a lot, but rather the difficulty comes from an extended list of embargo conditions that make it impossible…
