Review by Clark A. Aqua Moto Racing 3D is rather humble in the current landscape of racing games on the 3DS. It has no star power, no prestigious franchise history, and opts for a comparatively niche jet ski theme. Even the title is modest, making no bold claims and presenting…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Melancholia can make for an oddly beautiful theme when done right. We’ve seen it work for poets such as T.S Eliot (“By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown/ Till human voices wake us, and we drown” – The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. The drift scene can be a thing of beauty: powerful import tuners and muscle cars using their immense power to lock into high speed drifts, leaving waves of smoke and burnt rubber in their wake. The Drift Mania series has attempted to bring this high speed…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. To say Valhalla Knights 3 expects the player’s full attention immediately would be quite the understatement. Before hitting the half-hour mark I witnessed a gratuitously detailed history of the world’s nations, a corrupt emperor turning on an already corrupt world, the legend of a master thief,…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Just in case HeroCraft’s title for this game did not give it away, what you are looking at here is yet another World War II strategy title. Coming up with something noteworthy in this genre was always going to be tough as the iOS platform has…

Read MoreReview by Shaan J. If there’s one thing I lament about owning a PS3, it’s the lack of party games that the system has to offer. Sure, there’s the long-running Buzz! games, and the upcoming Sportsfriends is sure to be a blast, but there aren’t many options if you want…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Before Rollarcoaster Tycoon there was Transport Tycoon. And Transport Tycoon was a game made by the Gods (or, well, God of simulation games, Chris Sawyer). The fact that it is so playable even now, and still feels so modern compared to the likes of the rebooted…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Duet is a difficult little game which requires copious amounts of intuition, reflexes, reaction time and spatial thinking. It’s also not a game about any of those things. Despite the developer’s penchant for creating fluid and original levels springing from a simple gameplay mechanic, Duet’s artistry…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. Basketball is completely foreign to me. I know that there are five players on two teams, and both teams try to get as many points by shooting a ball into the basket as they can. That’s where my knowledge ends. That’s where most Australians’ knowledge ends.…
