Review by Matt S. Have you ever played a game that you recognise as being well-made and executed, but you just can’t muster up any enthusiasm for it? That’s Vectronom. Sitting here to write the review, I can’t think of anything that is really wrong with the game. At the…
Read MorePreview by Trent P. It is now approaching winter, and that means driving home from work as night falls; the lights flicker and illuminate the city in an almost foreign way. During the day the city seems busier and brighter. The night brings an odd contrast, it is quiet, and…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Observation is the newest title from Devolver Digital, and as you might expect from that eclectic publisher, it’s a bit of an indie masterpiece. This one is clearly inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, that classic film, and offers a deep and nuanced take on the…

Unlike that all-action party event, Feather is a calm and lighthearted game that focuses on the freedom of exploration available only by flight. Billed as a ‘zen-like,’ the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I would never have expected a game that looks like a love letter to River City Ransom, and is about school gangs beating up on one another, would offer up such meaningful insights about the existential dread that many face going through their teenage years. But…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I like discovering new sports. Rarely, a video game will actually be my intro to a sport I haven’t head of. That’s happened this week, because eCrossminton introduced me to crossminton – a sport I didn’t even know existed. This is one very low-budget, niche sports…
