Review by Harvard L. I hope you’re not expecting a succinct description of what Uurnog Uurnlimited is in this review, because after hours of play I still don’t think I know exactly what it is. It’s a puzzle platformer with a level structure similar to Super Mario Bros. 2, in…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. THQ was a pretty big deal in the ‘90s and ‘00s. For a while, it held many top licenses to create games such as both the WCW and WWE pro-wrestling organisations, Nickelodeon and Disney Pixar. It also held a tonne of quality original IPs as well,…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. The line “What could possibly go wrong?” is arguably more famous than the Bubsy series itself. While the original Bubsy, Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, gained a cult following, the later entries were rushed to market and greatly lacked in quality. This all cumulated in…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. Thinking back to Super Mario Odyssey’s performance on the Nintendo stage at this year’s E3, it was always going to be an incredible, theatrical masterpiece.

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Lots of games explore Chinese history – from Dynasty Warriors, to Jade Empire, to that panda expansion from World of Warcraft – but since now not many of the games which have done so were actually from China. It would be because of the market’s liking…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Rayman Legends was an exceptional game when it released back in 2014, earning a coveted 90+ Metacritic score and the adoration of platforming veterans and casual gamers alike. As much as it was a triumph, its protracted development cycle and modest commercial performance meant it faded…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Knack’s original adventure launched alongside the PS4 back in late 2013. Back again, and this time looking to offer more than what seemed to be a tech demo, Knack 2 starts off years later with the world’s future not look promising as robot hordes march through…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. League of Evil is a platforming game, upholding the convention of short, difficult levels as codified by Super Meat Boy.
