Review by Matt C. I’m surprised at how few “walking simulators” there are for PlayStation VR, given how perfect the platform is for that sort of game. Atmospheric, narrative-rich first-person adventure games are what VR was made for. So why are they still so rare? Luckily, Fated: The Silent Oath…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. I never knew I wanted a narrative when playing a sports game. Normally I balk at the mere thought, as for the most part they do nothing to add to the overall experience. Old Time Hockey has changed my mind on that, and has shown how…
Read MoreReview by Britta S. Robert, our young hero, wears a striped windsock on his nose. Peck the pigeon looks rather like a sausage balloon and has a thing for old, smelly fish. Uncle Conroy is a killjoy and worse – never before has the phrase “Bring me the hedgehog!” instilled…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. It’s clear that a lot of heart’s gone into the development of Eekeemoo: Splinters of the Dark Shard. Unfortunately all the good intention in the world can’t save a broken game, and that’s what Eekeemoo is. It barely works as a prototype, let alone a full…

The key ingredient is a simple yet addictive gaming mechanic. Consider the classic example of matching three or more similar tiles in games such as Bejeweled. The…
Read MoreReview by Nick Hu. In the year 2185, a multi-species project leaves the Milky Way galaxy, for a 600-year voyage through dark space, to establish colonies in the Andromeda galaxy. That’s the basis of the newest game set in the Mass Effect universe, which sees the player take on the…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. In the past, I have avoided anything labelled “roguelike” as if it were the plague. No way, no how was I going to go near games belonging to what just may be the most difficult genre of all time. Randomly generated levels? No difficulty selection, but…
Read MoreReviews by Harvard L. The Neo Geo was a rather unorthodox beast – with an enormously steep asking price, it was marketed by developers SNK as a luxury console which ran sprite based games with incredible smoothness.
