Review by Harvard L. Radiation Island is a survival game the same way that Dead Island is an RPG – it’s not the finest example of its genre, the execution can be a little less than pristine at times, and yet at its core lies a compelling gameplay loop which…
Read MoreThe Nintendo Switch has been in our lives for one year now, so we take a look back at that year, and just amaze ourselves with just how good that console is. We also have a chat about Square Enix’s recent efforts to dip into its back catalogue – the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Totes The Goat is good. It’s nothing memorable, nor innovative, not particularly creative, but it’s good. It’s clean. It’s a huge sight better than that last effort to “modernise” the Q*Bert formula. Q*Bert is up there with Pac-Man and Space Invaders as my favourite classic game…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I love pool. It’s a game of angles and mathematics, strategy and skill. I’m absolutely woeful at it in real life, but that’s mostly because I haven’t had the time, patience or money to invest in getting good at the physical elements of the game; being…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. We’ve played Hyrule Warriors a couple of times now; on the Wii U and then on the 3DS. That doesn’t mean we’re any less interested in seeing it on the Nintendo Switch though. Not where it’s the complete package, with more characters to play with than…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There isn’t that much that I can say about Bayonetta 2 and its predecessor that I haven’t already. I reviewed Bayonetta 2 when it was released on the Wii U, and this is almost a straight port of that game. The original comes as a bonus…
