Review by Matt S. How can it be this hard to do a Game of Thrones video game that does the property justice? There’s more than enough material to work with. You’ve got dark, grim fantasy, monsters and all. You’ve got dark, grim political intrigue, (human) monsters and all. There…
Read MoreReview 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 S. Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons; this is a continuation of the old Harvest Moon, and Harvest Moon in the west now is actually a different series. I know it’s confusing, but it is what it is) is like Animal Crossing but with just a little…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Amazing Brick Breaker is shovelware, just so we’re clear here. This is a game with no fresh ideas, it’s not presented in a way that could be called “interesting”, and it probably took around a month to make. But on the other hand it works and…
Read MoreReview by Priscilla M. Feather comes to us by Samurai Punk; the same Aussie indie team that give us the endlessly-hilarious Screencheat.
