Review by Nick H. Some people have described Amazing Princess Sarah as Metroidvania in style, but really there is almost not Metroid – just plenty of ‘vania’. In terms of the style both visually and how the game plays, this is one of the better Castlevania-inspired titles I have had…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. If the title of this satirical little retro platform title comes off a bit confusing, know that it is a shortened version of a much longer title: FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE 2 PLAY! This is a game that intentionally pokes fun at the Free-to-Play business…
Read MorePreview by Chris I. People that grew up in the late ’80s and early ’90s undoubtedly have fond memories of arcade-style FPS corridor shooters. Wolfenstein and Doom were all the rage (no pun intended) and for good reason; the pure fast-paced nature of these games is, simply put, a lot…

Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Shovel Knight might just be my favourite “NES” game of all time, and that’s saying a lot. As much as I love to play new releases, I always enjoy revisiting older titles, even if it’s a game I’ve played to death. But booting up a decidedly…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga ended on a cliffhanger; a conclusion that drew some criticism when the game was newly released on to the PlayStation 2, but set up the sequel perfectly. The reality was that Atlus never wanted people to play just one of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There is a classical beauty about Dragon Quest games. Square Enix’s venerable franchise has remained resolutely traditional throughout its long history, even as its stablemate, Final Fantasy, has taken some risks and offended some people in the process.
