Review by Matt S. A developer/ publisher with the history that Square Enix has needs to be careful when its goal is to pull on the nostalgia strings. It’s a fine idea in principle to give your longest fans something that reminds them why they loved your games in the…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God is a revival of a niche series in a niche genre, boasting otaku appeal and being released during a slow period. It’s not going to set the North American charts on fire with that approach but it certainly…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Shadow Sun floored me from start to finish. It’s been quite some time now since a developer took on the task of an exclusive, new, RPG for the iOS platform that offers modern production values, but that’s precisely what’s happened here, and the result is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Wayforward is usually reliable. Even when it’s building licensed titles it’s usually reliable (Thor on the DS is a truly great brawler). And while Wayforward is well known for its platformers, it has proven that it does understand dungeon crawlers with the excellent Silent Hill: Book of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not sure why, but the big publishers seem to struggle with coming up with compelling ways to bring their important franchises to the iPad. EA has both hits and misses in equal measure, and Activision has only made token efforts with its Call of Duty…

Its relevance may be called into question given the widespread opinion that its sequels all offer finer experiences, but the blue bomber’s lightened release schedule these days and his inclusion in the upcoming Smash Bros. may…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ever played a game that you know is terrible, but you just can’t stop playing? It has unappealing presentation, dull or broken gameplay, and almost no depth or finesse, but it’s something that you just have to complete? One Piece Romance Dawn is one of those…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. As much as I enjoy Sonic’s 2D platforming outings, they all share a particular similitude. If Tails Adventure (and please note, this isn’t a grammar fail on our part, the game really isn’t called “Tales’ Adventure” like it should be – ed) is any indicator, though,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Strategy games on PC are a different beast to strategy games on consoles. On consoles the likes of Advance Wars and Fire Emblem are considered complex strategy games, but these pale in comparison to PC titles like Europa Universalis IV. Conversely, the PC game community, weened…
