Review by Pierre-Yves L. I remember having a conversation with a few friends about the rise of MMOs and MOBAs about the idea that couch gaming was disappearing. I said it was sad that everything was moving more and more online (other than the obscure RPGs and JRPGs out there,…
Read MoreReview by David W. It’s becoming increasingly rare to see a game that fully innovates within its genre, instead of merely borrowing and adapting what has worked before. The Evil Within comes at a time of resurgence in the survival horror category. Several recent releases, whilst attempting to capture the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The award for the oddest “game” release on the PlayStation 3 this year will surely go to Short Piece: Ranko Tsukihime’s Longest Day. I say that because it’s not really a game. Not really. Short Peace is actually four short animated films, and one short game…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Akiba’s Trip: Undead and Undressed surprised me and likely not for the reasons you suspect. Yes, in a game where the player is permitted to indiscriminately shred the clothes off strangers in broad daylight, my biggest takeaway was not the liberty to don the stat-boosting panties…
Read MoreReview by Jedediah H. Have you ever seen a goofy Mel Brooks’ movie from the 90’s by the name Life Stinks? I was on the wrong side of seven years of age the first time I had the privilege, and it left a bit of an existential impression on my…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. So, let’s talk about Dark Souls (yes, this is a review for different game, but bear with me). In Dark Souls you play as a character that is hopelessly out of his/ her depth in a hellish world of demons and the undead. Slowly but surely,…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s truly impressive that Blizzard has been able to find yet another way to release Diablo 3. Following the PC launch of the game way back in 2012, we’ve already had one release of it on PlayStation 3, and now it’s been re-released, and simultaneously made…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. CounterSpy places itself within the Cold War. Two sides, the Imperialist States and the Socialist Republic are competing in the Space Race. But it’s not the race you’re most likely thinking of. It’s a race to blow up the moon. C.O.U.N.T.E.R. has been tasked with finding…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. Heralding itself as a “rogue-lite,” Rogue Legacy comes clanking its way onto the PlayStation Vita, bringing its unique genealogy-based, retro platforming action to the portable console for great hardcore gaming on the go. It’s a game with seemingly endless personality and replay value, so be sure…
