Review by Matt S. Here’s a concept for you, and it’s beautiful in its simplicity: a girl in a schoolgirl’s uniform, carrying an impressive sword, taking on hordes of enemies on her way to an eventual showdown with another schoolgirl. A superb martial artist, this girl’s abilities to leap around,…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. There’s something very primitive about Far Cry Primal. Everything has been stripped back, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If anything, the excessiveness of the later games in the series at times often felt like Ubisoft had given up and just gave into players wanting…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I have a confession: I genuinely like cheesy science fiction, monster films, and horror from the heyday of B-grade nonsense. Even stuff like Plan 9 From Outer Space gives me kicks because yes, it’s nonsense, but at the same time these films have a distinct aesthetic…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I really didn’t think that Climax Studios would manage to outdo its effort with Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India. The Chronicles series has always struck me as the most experimental Assassin’s Creed titles that we have seen to date, and on top of that, India was the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Siralim is my kind of retro-themed nostalgic rush. Where others get stuck right in to all those pixel-heavy platformers that the indie space is so inundated by, I’d rather kick back and rip through something just like this. Back when I was a kid, there was…
