Review by Clark A. It takes only a handful of screenshots to ascertain End of Serenity’s role as a retro-style, Final Fantasy clone. As yet another JRPG being released late in the aging PSP’s life, it doesn’t exactly have grand expectations riding on its shoulders. That lack of hype is…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Sniper Elite series is not for everyone. It presents a slower, more tactical side to shooters than the popular quick twitch Call of Duty or Battlefield games. But the series has its fans. The previous Sniper Elite often felt stifled, to the point where it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not really surprised that someone, somewhere had the idea to build a visual novel around the BlazBlue franchise. After all, in between the brief and furious combat in these fighting games there’s so much dialogue that the “Story” mode might as well be a visual…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Transformers is clearly the perfect material for games, but as we’ve seen from the films, potential and execution are very different things. The franchise has been around for decades now, and so effectively taps into that warm sense of nostalgia that is so appealing to adults.…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube is an atmospheric game, if nothing else. Set in a world based in the sky players need to complete block-style puzzles in order to progress. At first I found myself bewildered by the experience. The first few levels were designed as tutorials,…

Read MoreReview by Aidan B. I find that there are times in life when you feel something… a smell, a noise, a familiar sight or a familiar experience and it takes you back in time. We call it “nostalgia,” and while it’s hard to tell what will make us nostalgic, when…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Contrast is an interesting look at a family struggling to stay together in the 1920’s. The primary character is a small girl named Didi, though the player actually controls Didi’s imaginary friend who shift through the light and shadows creating a world of 2D and 3D…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Going into the wonderful water-coloured world of Cocoro I expected a wonderful and light experience. What I got however was a hardcore, brutally unforgiving experience. Cocoro: Line Defender does a great job of using the two screens of the 3DS. Units are sent from the base…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I guess it was inevitable that the shining light of quality free-to-play military action would eventually make its way to the platform where $0.99 upfront can be seen as expensive but then people are willing to spend $100 in virtual coins to buy slightly prettier houses…
