Review by Matt S. As someone who doesn’t really like doing the online multiplayer thing – particularly with narrative and atmosphere-heavy experiences (people just can’t commit to the roleplay, damnit), I say this: Star Trek: Bridge Crew is utterly brilliant. Ubisoft has done something truly special here; it has managed…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s no secret that I’m not the world’s biggest fan of MOBAs and other eSports-like games. It’s not to say that I don’t appreciate what they do, it’s just that they’ve never offered gameplay that hooks me in particularly well. I’ve tried the main ones –…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Of the many genres of art out there, transgressive art is my favourite beat. It was the main topic that I studied back at university, and I’ve seen, read, or experienced it all: Antonin Artaud, Marquis De Sade, Stelarc, Michel Foucault and Georges Bataille. From the…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The premise of taking the addictive qualities that make online competitive shooters so popular and doing something unique with the medieval setting that replaces guns with swords and axes is a good one. A really good one. And there are a lot of really great ideas…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. If you are simply looking for an action-packed shooter that works far better with friends than alone, then Killing Floor 2 is not a bad option. If, however, you’re on the hunt for a game with a narrative, or indeed any degree of substance, then this…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. This was not the game that Metroid fans were looking forward to. Metroid Prime: Federation Force is clearly a game that Nintendo had thrown together on the cheap in order to fill in a gap in the release library – both for the 3DS itself, and…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Take a time to imagine when the First Person Shooter genre weren’t the titanic please-everybody genre that it is today, and it might be easier to visualise how Verdun fits into the grand scheme of things. A hardcore World War One trench based shooter; Verdun racked…
