Review by Matt S. Disco Dodgeball is one groovy little game. You play as a robot that can pick up groovy mirror ball-like objects and hurl them at opponents. A single hit and the opponent is toasted, but it’s also possible to time a catch an opponent’s throw mid-air, which…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Nintendo Switch doesn’t need games like this in its library. An “enhanced” port of a PC port of an iOS game, Timberman is shallow, limited, pointless “entertainment”, with a ridiculous grind thrown in that tries to stretch the ten minutes of “fun” that you’ll get…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. Violence in video games is a hot button topic nowadays. Whether it’s a gory decapitation or a continuous slaughterfest of screaming enemies, gratuitous murder is the order of the day for a lot of titles, both old and new. I don’t have a problem with the…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Caveman Warriors is a game which wears its influence on its sleeve. Developed by Spanish studio JandaSoft, it’s a co-op platformer with four characters, each with unique abilities which will need to used together to navigate a variety of far-fetched levels. Listing games like New Super…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. As a tremendous fan of the Star Wars universe, this beautiful, fast-paced game manages to tickle and please the senses while making my head and heart hurt at the same time. Unfortunately for everything that Star Wars Battlefront II gets right along the way, it has…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. The original Nidhogg is a fine example of a mechanically perfect game. That doesn’t mean it’s 5/5 stars, but it does mean that I can’t imagine how the gameplay could be improved by adding or taking away any mechanics – the unique interplay of fencing, platforming…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I honestly expected a much darker game from the title of Death Squared, but the newest arrival from Sydney indie developer, SMG Studios, brings puzzle gameplay backed with lots of laughter. It’s a simple puzzle game about getting squares to their end-states. It’s also wickedly difficult.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Splatoon 2, like its predecessor, looks like trash. I know that there are plenty of others that like the childpunk attitude with its nauseating overuse of sickeningly bright, clashing, chaotic “street” colours, but I don’t. It’s an ugly, ugly, ugly game, (though in fairness it also…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. In what is a fond memory of mine, I inherited from my grandfather his collection of Matchbox cars. Some weren’t in that great condition, nor were most of them rare or collectible by any means, but often, much to the amusement of my grand imagination as…
