Review by Matt S. I think we all chalked Dragon Quest Builders up as a fairly cynical project by Square Enix, where it looked at the success of Minecraft and then decided to try and get a piece of that pie. Before actually sitting down to play the game, that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Mount & Blade Warband is the most odd “re-release” of all games that we’ve seen on the PlayStation 4 to date. It was originally a PC exclusive, released back in 2010, and this is the first time it has had a console release. Why we have…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. How does one improve upon near perfection? After all, the first Pac-Man Championship Edition took the basic concept of Pac-Man, turned it on its head, and made something truly special.

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. To everyone out there, have you played Dear Esther? I would assume most of you have – the prolific surrealist piece developed by The Chinese Room is still a free download on PC’s and almost necessitates a name drop in every “Games as Art” conversation. Perhaps…
Read MoreReview by Matthew C. The boom in indie development has seen a wonderful surge in puzzle platformers over the last few years.
