Review by Nick H. Heroes of Might & Magic III HD is not a game I believe many people were asking for, yet it is such an amazingly well-balanced tactical experience that it should be appreciated by people who missed their chance in the past. There are newer iterations in…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Life Is Strange makes me hate episodic games. When the opening chapter of a game is this utterly engrossing, to complete it after a solid five hours of continuous play, only to be told “well, you get to wait two months to see the story continue,”…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Fire Emblem turning twenty five years old doesn’t have the impact that it should here. Western fans have missed out on at least seven games over the years so the sheer lineage of Intelligent Systems’ console strategy franchise is lost outside Japan until the magical day…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I never owned a Heroes of Might & Magic PC game when I was a child. But I was a massive fan of the franchise from the moment I played it for the first time on the computer of a good friend of mine (the first…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. Double Dragon is one of the most well known arcade beat ’em up titles ever made and the franchise’s enduring popularity has convinced DotEmu to bring them to your modern PCs. The trilogy package consists of a port of Double Dragon 1, 2 and 3, and…

A frail representation of awkward 1996 childhood, I had no clue as to what I was screaming myself into when I, with my best friend and his…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. A PlayStation Vita re-release of the original Hyperdimension Neptunia made a lot of sense. The original game, released way back in 2010 on the PlayStation 3, was a great concept but a terrible game. And that remake, Re;Birth 1, was a very good game indeed. However,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Game like Ironclad Tactics are a dime a dozen on mobile platforms. Billing itself as a “strategy game,” Ironclad Tactics is really a casual semi-turn based experience that is briefly diverting, but it’s hardly the kind of thing that you’re going to sit down for and…
