Review by Nick H. As a tremendous fan of the Star Wars universe, this beautiful, fast-paced game manages to tickle and please the senses while making my head and heart hurt at the same time. Unfortunately for everything that Star Wars Battlefront II gets right along the way, it has…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. Someone described Lost Dimension to me as a mix between Danganronpa, Fire Emblem, and anime. For better or for worse, that description is incredibly spot on. It mixes a bunch of well-known concepts and mechanics and produces a polished result that looks all set to succeed…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Back when I was at university I tended to keep funny hours and do most of my work very late at night. I found myself more productive at that time. Being a film student, I’d also often have the TV on in the background with whatever…
Read MoreReview by Moshe R. I love the animals of the sea. I don’t know if “love” is the right word here, given I tend to consume animals of the sea on a daily basis. Quite dedicatedly so, actually, since reading somewhere that frequent seafood consumption may explain the extra longevity…

Read MoreReviews by Matt S. The Nintendo Switch is getting an absolute deluge of games released on it each week now, and many of those games are ports of titles released on other platforms, and (apparently) easy enough to port to the new kid on the block. We’ve got reviews of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Tokyo Tattoo Girls is, tonally, one of the oddest games that you’ll ever play. From a quick glance you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s a standard fanservice-heavy JRPG. This is particularly true since NISA, which counts JRPGs as its bread and butter, is the one…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Summon Night 6 has been long delayed, and the end product just hasn’t lived up to how excited we all let ourselves get about it. It’s decent enough as a traditional tactics JRPG in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics or Ogre Battle, but an incredibly…
