Review by Nick H. Dark Souls II ticks all of the boxes you would expect from this series now. Challenging gameplay, rewarding victories, gorgeous areas to explore and lots of character death. Lots and lots of character death. Part of what makes Dark Souls 2 so fascinating is that it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels is an odd game. In an era where collectible card games (CCGs) are typically free-to-play and focused on multiplayer, Millennium Duels has an up-front cost, doesn’t demand microtransactions after that, and is more focused on the single player experience. As a result, this…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Putty Squad has its heart in the right place, and it works hard to recreate the kind of retro charm that this game offered when it was first released as an obscure Super Nintendo game back in 1994. A lot has changed to the 2D platformer…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. To me, hidden object games are best enjoyed in company. There’s something compelling about huddling around a screen together trying to quickly spot a well-hidden object as a timer ticks down. A good hidden object game also features some adventure game elements in it too, with…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Everything about War of the Vikings feels like success comes down to a combination of strategy and finding a rhythm. That might sound odd for a game where players are tasked with bludgeoning one another to death, but the mix actually works very well and gives…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Smash Cat Heroes is a new release to the Nintendo eShop and it’s a decent take on the button-mashing side of the action RPG genre. Mainly as the name implies, players smash (hack/slash/launch) their way through dual screen environments while fighting against hordes of incoming cats.…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. The excitement is in the air, as soccer (or football, depending on where you live) fans around the world eagerly await the World Cup kick-off in June. To capitalise on the hype, EA Sports has done the inevitable and released 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. Given…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. If you like Texas Hold ‘Em poker, then Governor of Poker is a decent game and at a cheap price. Which will be fine for some people, but there isn’t much more to it than that. When you start playing you’ll be asked to pick between…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Why can’t more games be this much fun? Nintendo Pocket Football Club has absolutely no pretensions about what it is; it’s a casual and lighthearted football management sim that aims to replace the sheer depth of other, more serious, football manager games. It seeks to do…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. The platforming genre, whether it be action, adventure, puzzle, or something else entirely, has been around for a long time and it’s sometimes hard to find something new and innovative to do that doesn’t give people cause to think “it’s all been done before”. Ethan: Meteor…
