I’ve done a lot of thinking about Deception IV. Having first played it a year or so ago on the PlayStation Vita, I have always had this lingering notion that as much as I enjoy it (and I really, really enjoy it), it’s never quite been the game I want…
Read MoreGodzilla. One word. One name. It carries with it instant familiarity. The recent movie went with the simple naming convention and it just worked. It was not the greatest movie ever, but I enjoyed it. It was fun, it took me back to being a kid who grew up on…
Read MoreAfter scoring with a local geisha by complimenting the weather and suggesting she looks rather elegant in her clothes, I went to the magistrate’s office where a Pagan Min look-alike British delegate ordered me to take out a dozen of rogue warriors who take their swords to random passersby to…
Read MoreI think the LEGO games are wonderful, and while they have been around for as long as I can remember, they have consistently been special games indeed. They capture a certain charm whether set in the halls of Hogwarts, travelling through Gotham City, or, now, even taking on Minecraft, LEGO…

Read MoreFormula 1 remains my favourite form of racing. There is something about the way the cars speed around the track that is elegant, graceful, and even beautiful. It’s fast and loud, sure, but it’s also a technical and has rules of behaviour on the track that are downright gentlemanly (even…
Read MoreThere are two types of LEGO games out there. There are the brilliantly written original LEGO stories, with much care taken to both accurately reflect the franchise and maintain a great sense of humour that all can enjoy, all while being of high production values and bug free (Marvel Super…
Read MoreYatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm is a difficult game to review – in fact I feel like I should write two separate ones: one for people new to the fighting genre and another for the core fans. It’s a game which aims to mimic the glory days of the 2D fighting…
