Review by Lachlan W. The War Machine DLC pack is the second multiplayer DLC for Call of Duty: WWII. Released in April for PS4 and last month for PC and Xbox One (hooray platform exclusivity), it adds three new multiplayer maps, a War Mode map, and the Nazi Zombies chapter…
Read MoreBy Matt C. Despite a dedicated fanbase, the Touhou Project series has always had a very small presence in the West. Bullet hells are niche to begin with, but Touhou is driven by a doujin community with limited reach beyond Japan. Fortunately, publishers like Sony, XSEED, and NISA have been…
Read MoreReview by Tyler T. Fresh off the huge success of Dragon Ball FighterZ, Arc System Works is back with yet another tag-based fighting game. This time bringing together four distinct series (the titular BlazBlue, Under Night In-Birth, Persona 4, and RWBY) for one of the stranger mash-ups to be released…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. For a series that has been kicking around since the original NES, Nobunaga’s Ambition has been truly impressive in how it has always managed to find ways to keep reinventing itself for those fans that have been with it from the start. Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi is…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I have a long history with Kingdom of Loathing (or KoL, as fans fondly know it by). It sustained me through my student years where I couldn’t afford much of anything, let alone games, by being both genuinely free, and online multiplayer focused and therefore endless…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The digital pinball space is surprisingly competitive, given how niche pinball is these days. Zen Studios and its brilliant original creations via Pinball FX 3 and Farsight Studios with its physics-perfect recreation of classic tables in The Pinball Arcade absolutely dominate the genre, and there’s not…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. PixelJunk Monsters was the best tower defence game ever developed.
