Review 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. So it’s 2016, and Capcom wants to make an eSport. Specifically, Capcom Osaka! We really need to talk about this! If you want a quick and easy dissertation about whether this game is good or not, and whether you should buy it, then I’m going to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Around twenty hours in, and I do still feel like I’ve got a very long way to go with Overwatch. In that time I’ve played around with all of the 21 characters, but only really become comfortable with two of them. But I have played enough…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If you were to take Destiny and turn it into a top-down shooter, you’d have Alienation. Saying that probably sounds like a disapproval on my part, given that I was not the world’s biggest fan of Destiny… But I do like this one. Related reading: Our…
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 MoreIn Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, we have a game that manages to hone in on what worked the first time around, improve upon the formula and do something that the shooting genre absolutely needs: injecting a simple sense of fun into the whole experience. Honestly, I never really…
Read MoreStardust Vanguards is another entry into the recent deluge of local multiplayer games that try to capture the retro-style couch fun nostalgia. Games such as Towerfall Ascension and now this focus closely on pixel graphics, catchy music and some fast and furious multiplayer action. Stardust Vanguards manages to check all of these…
Read MoreI’ve never played a Fat Princess game before. Mostly because I’ve never been a fan of the kind of exclusively combative multiplayer experience that it offered – it’s one thing when the game is effectively free (I play the odd game of League of Legends here or there), but it’s…
Read MoreIn an era where local multiplayer games are harder and harder to find, Starwhal is a great love letter to those of us who used to spend countless hours playing games such as Madden, Mario Kart, GoldenEye or Tekken with our buddies. Unusual, though? Absolutely. You are after all, controlling…
