Review by Sam M. It has been far too long since we have been accompanied on a puzzle adventure by a harrowing, sometimes crazy, omniscient narrator. Stealth Inc 2 is brought to us by Curve Digital, and is exclusive to the Wii U. There is a simple premise behind the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I feel a little sorry for Toys for Bob, the developers of the Skylanders franchise. After coming up with what was nothing short of a brilliant commercial idea (a game that relies on collectible miniatures!) Skylanders proved itself to be too popular. Now Skylanders needs to…
Read MorePreview by Pierre-Yves L. Second chances are not something that come around everyday. Unfortunately earlier this year, Neverland had to close its doors even after the release of the successful Rune Factory 4. Within the same year, Two Tribes almost suffered the same fate. Thankfully Two Tribes was one of…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. A year ago, I had a chance to play the first Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures game. That title had some flaws, fitting uncomfortably between being too hard for really young players and yet feeling watered down for the more experienced platforming crowd. The second iteration…

Read MoreInterview by Jedediah H. The future is overloaded with possibilities. Because we tend to overestimate ourselves, when we lay belly-down on our sofas after a morning of spontaneous, mountainous trail climbing and boulder tossing, and visualise the landscape of our coming years, our predictions can be pretty, maybe even unrealistically,…
Read MoreNews by Jedediah H. Borrowing ideas from occultism, which is the study of spiritual reality, and theosophy, which concerns the nature of divinity, developer Encryptique’s breakthrough title, Tulpa, appears to be a phantasmagoria of combined, grim perceptions. Taking place in a shifting world, Tulpa sets you in the role of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Murasaki Baby is disturbed. Not just for its art style, which was clearly inspired by a mix of The Brothers Grimm and Tim Burton. That aesthetic has its role, and performs an admirable job of making it clear to players from the outset that this is…
