Review 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…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Monster Hunter series has some pretty rabid fans out there, my son and I among them. The core formula does not change much from one release to another, but then it doesn’t necessarily matter with this franchise. But I have to say that Monster Hunter…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. It almost feels trivial to write about Western Press, a game with such a short runtime that you could feasibly finish a dozen rounds in the time it takes to read this review. A one-on-one twitch multiplayer game developed by Bandit-1 and published by Aussie favourite…
Read MoreReview by Dylan C. Assault Android Cactus (AAC) is a pure, distilled, frantic, fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat ride that is elegantly constructed and lovingly crafted.
