Review 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…
Read MoreWhen we look at the modern FPS we think of Call of Duty, Battlefield & Halo as your big AAA shooters. Often we question the evolution of these games and how little progress is made each year. It wasn’t always like that. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was once a big gun…
Read MoreIt’s always a good idea to play the worst games in your favourite genres. That way you can appreciate the good ones. Chronus Arc is one of the worst JRPGs I’ve ever played. In theory it wants to be a glorious throwback to the SNES JRPG tradition, but in practice…
Read MoreNo game can simply live on the nostalgia that comes with retro visuals and a catch soundtrack, but it can certainly serve as a good place to start. Zotrix is a decidedly simple game with some good ideas to keep you coming back for more, but that’s only assuming that…
Read MoreDivinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition somehow manages to be an even better game than the already-lauded PC original release, and it makes the transition to console – devices that are simply not used to these kinds of classic Balder’s Gate-era RPGs – wonderfully.

Read MoreThe mere title of The Legend of Legacy implies grandeur. “Legend” refers to stories told generation after generation, while “legacy” represents the generations themselves. Needless to say, I came into this game expecting great things. The Legend of Legacy is a JRPG developed by Furyu, with a North American release…
Read MorePenarium is not a terribly complex game, but it does provide an addicting mix of platforming challenges that will test the reflexes and patience of even the most seasoned gamer. By and large the simplicity of Penarium works to its benefit, even if the adventure is not a lengthy one.…
Read MoreTribute Games is one of those developers that can reinvent the mundane on a whim. One of its earliest efforts, Wizorb, appeared to be another clone of the classic Breakout arcade game, but injected peculiar JRPG elements to craft arguably the most inspired spin on the formula out there. Tribute’s…
