Review by Harvard L. I hope you’re not expecting a succinct description of what Uurnog Uurnlimited is in this review, because after hours of play I still don’t think I know exactly what it is. It’s a puzzle platformer with a level structure similar to Super Mario Bros. 2, in…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. The Queen is dead. These words may send shivers down the spines of the Queen’s constituents, but for me it’s a sign of rebirth. Mostly because, let’s be real, if the Queen is dead then I did a terrible job of making her choices for her.…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. In the past week or so, I’ve had a very difficult time putting down Sky Force Reloaded. I’ve stayed up far later than I should almost every night, trapped in a “just one more go!” loop. I’ve excitedly bought other games, only to watch them collect…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Visual novels in the vein of Danganronpa and Steins;Gate have garnered a broader, worldwide audience in recent years. It’s possible they owe a touch of that heightened interest to a humble defence attorney, Phoenix Wright, who first appeared in North America when the Nintendo DS was…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I actually came to the PlayStation 3 relatively late into its life cycle.

Read MoreReview by Brad L. THQ was a pretty big deal in the ‘90s and ‘00s. For a while, it held many top licenses to create games such as both the WCW and WWE pro-wrestling organisations, Nickelodeon and Disney Pixar. It also held a tonne of quality original IPs as well,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I don’t think I’ve played a game that manages to misfire on tone quite as much as Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I preface this review by saying that on a fundamental level it’s an incredibly enjoyable game, and, as the first true big-budget JRPG on the Nintendo…
Read MoreReview by Tyler T. I’ve never been a fanatic of the LEGO puzzle-platformers (which could very well be due to them being targeted at children), but for the most part they’ve always been well made games that made up for their lack of challenge with plenty of charm. That’s why,…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. A game like Black Mirror getting a high profile re-release in 2017 is surely reassuring proof of the health of the games industry. Starting life as a point-and-click adventure game in 2001 as The Black Mirror, the series has always been trying to find its voice…
