Review by Chris I. With the console release of Batman: Arkham Origins just behind us, I stumbled across the iOS version of the title, noticed that it was a free download and decided to give it a go. Without any knowledge of the game prior to the download, I went…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Straight Right deserves recognition for being the best developer in the industry when it comes to porting games to the Wii U. Its port of Mass Effect 3 was a tragic tale; despite producing the finest version of one of the finest games of the generation…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I loved Assassin’s Creed 3. I realise that’s a controversial statement to make for the fans of the earlier AC games, especially considering that I wasn’t a fan of the series until AC3 (at all), but the trip through early-era America was for me a revelation.…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Boy Pac-Man has changed a lot over the last 33 years. I still remember the arcade cabinets that released when I was just a little kid back in 1980 (I feel like I just dated myself a bit there). But as with all things, a touch…

Read MoreThe entire Sonic series has always been a bit beyond me. It’s not that I have a problem with the idea of a super-speedy platformer, but something about Sonic has always left me cold. Perhaps it’s just that I prefer to explore a game’s environment, and Sonic by nature excludes…
Read MoreReview by Joseph L. I’m not exactly a generous gamer these days. After years of playing unexpectedly disappointing games and surprisingly good ones, I’ve given up caring about games that try to coast by while not offering much in return. 101 Penguin Pets 3D is a game that I knew…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Myst is legitimately a great game. It’s popular to deride now as the point and click genre has evolved in some fascinating directions (such as everything that Telltale Games have produced), but for when it was released Myst presented players with a rich mystery, interesting and…
Read MoreReview by V8Ninja.Is Armed Sevena SNES game that forgot to be released? Because if not, it sure does one masterful job convincing me otherwise. Everything, from the art design to the music to the simplistic controls, gives off the vibe of a game released when Mario was the bees knees…
