Review by Matt S. World of Final Fantasy is some of the best work to have been achieved in the franchise. Ever. Both deeply rooted in series tradition, and yet overwhelmingly modern in approach, the game is a love letter to the series for fans, created by a team that…
Read MoreReview by Mikhail M. Duke Nukem 3D is a very special game. I’ve played it multiple times across the original release on DOS and the Megaton edition on PlayStation Vita from a few years ago. Duke Nukem 3D has been released once again in the form of Duke Nukem 3D:…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Picking up the rights to make games based on Rally driving is smart. Most racing games require complex AI to represent the other cars on the track, as well as physics to handle collisions between cars. But Rally doesn’t have any of that. Rally’s all about…

For centuries the Japanese have flocked to exhibitions of ghost paintings, haunted houses, and the cinema in the hottest months of the year in order to experience scares and chills.
