Review by Matt S. Around twenty hours in, and I do still feel like I’ve got a very long way to go with Overwatch. In that time I’ve played around with all of the 21 characters, but only really become comfortable with two of them. But I have played enough…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Looking at the name ‘Soft Body,’ I wasn’t fully sure what to expect out of a game with such a title. I certainly did not expect to have such a uniquely crafted puzzle/action game that I would actually find some deeper meaning to. If anyone here…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Diablo has certainly been one of the most influential franchises in gaming. That’s why we tend to call other top-down, RSI-inducing action RPGs “Diablo clones.” It has certainly become a favourite genre with Dungeons & Dragons (Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance) and the Sacred series both being…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It looks like the turn based tactical RPG genre is a good fit with the free-to-play monetisation model. Phantom of the Kill, which plays out very much like a Fire Emblem title does, offers a near endless wealth of content, and marries it with tight and…
Read MoreReviews by Matt S. Welcome to this week’s short ‘n sweet reviews, where I look at a number of games that I’ve been playing that I just haven’t got the time to do give full reviews to. These aren’t necessarily bad games – not at all! But rather they are…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. For an industry that was on its final legs just a few years ago, the resurgence of pinball as a viable entertainment product has been nothing short of inspiring. Related reading: Matt’s review of some recent Zen Pinball 2 DLC. New table manufacturers have appeared on…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s probably inaccurate to consider the original Shadow of the Beast to be a true classic. It’s not really talked about, and rarely (if ever) makes the ‘greatest games’ lists. But it evidently has its fans and heritage, which has lead Heavy Spectrum Entertainment Labs to…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Coffin Dodgers is a game that deserves to be a lot better than it is. The premise is delightful – senior citizens racing mobility scooters as they flee death! – but the lack of new ideas and poor implementation of those that are already established mean…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. The Park is the scariest game I think I have ever played – though that isn’t exactly saying a lot because (a) I scare very, very easily, and (b) I don’t play a whole lot of horror games (see point a). Upon loading it up, you’re…
