Review by Matt S. I’m constantly criticising the way that stuff like Battlefield and Call of Duty handle World War 2. It’s not that I think World War 2 should not be the subject of video games, film, or anything else. It’s that I think there should be a moral…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It seems appropriate that at about the same time that the (current) pinnacle of realism in video games – Red Dead Redemption 2 – is released, Killer7 would also have its long-awaited re-release. Originally a console exclusive on PlayStation 2 and GameCube, Killer7, to this day,…
Read MoreReview by Lachlan W. Have you ever gone to the movies and just wanted to stick your whole entire face under the popcorn machine? Sweet simple carb rush, breezy airiness of a mostly empty product, and the guilt of having to go for a jog to burn off all that…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. Naruto is a bit of a household name the world over. Even someone who’s never watched the anime could probably identify a Naruto cosplayer in a crowded room. There’s something immediately arresting about the character; maybe it’s the distinctive outfit, or a certain catchphrase. Regardless of…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Every time I review a Compile Heart game I can’t help but analyse how it fits into the company’s now well-established formula. Its penchant for stat heavy JRPGs with fiendishly complex combat systems and trope laden anime stories makes it a love-or-hate company, but it’s hard…
Read MoreReview by Tyler T. It’s only fitting that Path of Motus, a game centered around learning from one’s mistakes and self-betterment, is in fact a remake of Sententia, one of the Xbox 360’s ugliest and critically dismissed titles. When it was released in 2012, the title had little going for…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Groove Coaster is technically a rhythm game, but it seems a disservice to reduce it to something so utilitarian. It’s a psychedelic audio-visual experience that’s more about feeling the music, with the “game” just a means of bringing that to life. To play Groove Coaster is…
