Review by Matt S. Gameloft represents a lot of things that I find genuinely offensive about big business game development. The company takes popular ideas that other developers and publishers have pioneered, cribs them wholesale, and then dumps them for free (or close to free, but of course always with…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. “It made Artyom shudder to imagine the tunnel beyond the seven-hundredth metre. It was horrifying just to think about it. No one had the guts to go beyond the seven-hundredth metre to the north. Patrols had made it to the five-hundredth, and having illuminated the boundary…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. Space is considered the last destination in humanity’s journey to conquer its environment, and there’s romance and drama in that. Consequently, this final frontier has been tackled by many game developers with their own spin on what space is, means, and must be like. Some focus…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. It seems appropriate that at about the same time that the (current) pinnacle of realism in video games – Red Dead Redemption 2 – is released, Killer7 would also have its long-awaited re-release. Originally a console exclusive on PlayStation 2 and GameCube, Killer7, to this day,…
Read MoreReview by Lachlan W. Have you ever gone to the movies and just wanted to stick your whole entire face under the popcorn machine? Sweet simple carb rush, breezy airiness of a mostly empty product, and the guilt of having to go for a jog to burn off all that…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. I am honestly not sure what I thought when I picked up Escape From Chernobyl.
