Review by Matt S. Tale of Tales continues to prove that it is the preeminent developer of games that are not just artistic by accident; they’re developed specifically to be art. And they’re an eclectic team to say the least; after such dark projects as The Path and The Graveyard,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Drive on Moscow, the follow up to Shenandoah Studio’s previous wargame, Battle of the Bulge, is a near carbon copy of the engine that ran the team’s previous effort. That’s a good thing because there are still far too few genuinely serious wargames available on the…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Those purchasing a PlayStation 4 early have had PlayStation Plus pushed their way frequently. It is all over the PlayStation Store, most games come with a free seven day trial and if you already had it for your Vita or PlayStation 3, it lives on in…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. Ouch. Over the course of the last week I’ve cycled up hills, climbed stairs and lifted weights. I’ve run for miles and walked for several more. I’ve even been to the gym. Who would have guessed that gadget testing could be so painful? The cause of…

While Soulcalibur 2 is arguably the finest game in the franchise, it’s impossible to argue that the current generation’s Soulcalibur 5 is a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I would never have thought that the developers and publishers of this game would have thought to release it on a platform with virtual controls. As a remake of a early-era game, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse HD is the kind of platformer that requires…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Until I had started playing The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, I had no interest in the game. Despite being obsessed with Zelda games as a child, the series has left me largely cold following the heights of Ocarina of Time. Why has my…
