Review by Nick H. I have long been a fan of motorcycle racing games. They provide a sense of speed and danger that is often lacking in racing games focused on cars. However, in a year that has seen some really great racing titles, Moto Racer 4 sadly falls well…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I was already sold on virtual reality, so it would be unfair to say Eagle Flight sold me on the technology. Perhaps it would be more reasonable to say that Eagle Flight has really been the first game that showed the full power of VR. As…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The original Watch Dogs had all sorts of potential, but it too often seemed to miss the mark both in style and substance. It was a game that I enjoyed in the moment but it’s also one that I’ve never come back to; the longevity just…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ever since Dark Souls landed on the scene, people have loved calling any game with a high difficulty curve that demanded patience and practice “the Dark Souls of XXXX”. The “Dark Souls of shooters”, the “Dark Souls of rhythm games,” and so on and so forth;…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Genuine 4X games are hard to come by on consoles, and I’ve never been quite sure why. Civilization 2 ran just fine on the original PlayStation, many years ago now, and Koei (now Koei Tecmo) has been producing games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Thumper is described as a “rhythm violence game”, which seems fitting for a game that regularly makes me want to throw my controller at the head of the next passerby. One could also call it a “rhythm masochism game”, because as infuriating as it is, I…
