Review by Matt S. I can’t think of many games that I’d rather play than something from my beloved Dead or Alive series. I discovered it with Dead or Alive 3, and haven’t looked back since. In fact, before Dead or Alive 3, I was a marginal fan of fighting…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Warner Bros. has continued the slow drip-feed of character trailers in the lead up to the release of Mortal Kombat 11, the latest in the goretastic goreporn b-grade horror-themed nightmare fighting series. Cage is one of the oldest characters in the series, and remains a popular…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. If there’s one fighting game that I’m looking forward to almost as much as Dead or Alive 6, its Mortal Kombat 11. They’re the perfect antidotes to one another, really; Dead or Alive 6 plays to sexuality, with its gorgeous characters, sweaty bodies, and body-hugging and/or…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. It’s getting closer and closer to the full release of Dead or Alive 6! I’m so very excited for this one, as I’ve been waiting for a new entry in the series for quite some time now. A little over a month out, and I’ve finally…

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Dead or Alive 6 is one of my most anticipated games of 2019, and over the weekend Koei Tecmo held a Network Test to give people a taste of what it’ll be like when it launches on March 1. I’ve done a short video to share…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. SEGA surprised us all when it announced that it was producing a 2D fighting game set in the universe of its lesser-known Shining JRPG series. Most of us would just like to see the Shining series be consistently localised again into English, but we’ll take a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Let’s talk about bloat, because Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is perhaps the most clear example of the issue that I have with bloat in video games. As an attempt to give Smash Bros. fans absolutely everything that has been in previous editions of the series, right…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Final Fantasy Dissidia NT is Square Enix’s all-star hero mashup from its premiere franchise. Focused on competitive play, its three-a-side brawling, and as per our review from earlier in the year, it’s actually quite a lot of fun. In the months since release there has been…
