Review by Sam M. Imagine if you played a Legend of Zelda game, and there was no grass to distract Link from his mission, because someone – a far less heralded hero – has already cut the grass for him. The field is clear, letting Link get on with his…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. The term “bullet hell” is an accurate descriptor for the absurd number of bullets exchanged in hardcore 2D shooters. Franchises like Touhou have garnered reputations for the sheer technical prowess one needs to manoeuvre around projectiles that envelop the screen like hundreds of fireworks set off…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. Battleship, the board game, has been around for some time and has had many video game adaptations. If you had the NES or Game Boy, for example, then you had the opportunity to buy a Battleship game on it. Now the franchise sits with Ubisoft, and…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There will always be some people who say that sports titles should not update every year, but perhaps just offer up their rosters as a DLC update. I disagree with that notion, so long as the development team continues to try and improve on what they…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ve already reviewed the Japanese version of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, when it was released on the PlayStation Vita some months back. Now, however, the game has been released on the PlayStation 4, and in English-speaking territories, and so I figured that I might as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Koei Tecmo has proven that its Warriors formula is incredibly versatile, and can be applied to most anime. The success of this strategy has seen the likes of One Piece, Fist of the North Start, Arslan and the upcoming Berserk, and many of those games have…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I have a lot of respect for the developers of serious racing games. The demands that the genre places on physics engines is extreme, and, worse (from the developer’s point of view), it is intensely noticeable when that physics engine is even slightly out, because that’s…
