Review by Nick H. The Risen franchise has always been a series that aims to do great things, but its minimal budgets has traditionally come back to bite its ambition in the backside. That is still the case here, as the team behind Risen 3: Titan Lords has set out…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Cubemen 2 is one of the finest examples of the tower defence genre. Previously released on iOS and PC, it’s developed into something massive over the months and years courtesy of community-created levels, and now on the Wii U players access all that content in the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. A good bullet hell game is almost like an intricate, difficult and deadly dance. With thousands of projectiles on screen at once and giant, menacing enemies, the player relies on pixel-perfect twitch reactions and foresight to be able to dart in and out of tiny “safe…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. I thought Season 2 of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead started with something of a whimper, with characters that did not interest me much and a scenario that held promise, but failed to deliver. On the whole, this season has been an up and down experience,…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I love a good creepy game. They have the ability to engage the senses and mind in ways few other games can. A horror or suspense title is a challenging one to build, however. It needs to keep you intensely immersed in its world, in order…
Read MoreReview by Jedediah H. Propelled by the wind, or perhaps by magical liberty, I drift the skies, the caves, the fabulous colours. But it’s the night hours in this particular world, and the blackness of the backdrop teases me to explore the apparent emptiness. So I quickly ascend and pierce…
