Review by Shaan J. Unlike Matt and Nick, when they reviewed of the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game (respectively), I come to Dark Souls 2 with much less experience of the series, though that doesn’t mean that I’m left entirely in the dark. I’ve dabbled with both…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Res Publica is the smallest piece of (paid) DLC for Europa Universalis IV so far. Coming after the extensive Conquest of Paradise and Wealth of Nations DLC packages, Res Publica might even feel like a downer at first, but while it lacks bells and whistles, it’s…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Forza series has always been an agreeable racing franchise for me, despite the fact I myself am not always particularly good at racing titles. I tend to lean towards racing games that focus more on comic mischief (think: Mario Kart), but the Forza racing series…
