Review by Matt S. I like a good, classic, dungeon crawler, and thanks to the wonders of Steam, my laptop has a bunch of ’em sitting on it. From the original Wizardry games through to innovative indies doing spectacular things with the genre with titles such as Legend of Grimrock,…
Read MoreReview by Jedediah H. As a species, we crave human warmth and face-to-face interaction. Be it with a good friend, a romantic partner, or the fire-fighter who’s always clad in sweet aroma (and nothing else), we need some consistency of human contact, whether it’s a sharing of beverages that leads…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I played well over 50 games while I was at Tokyo Game Show (TGS), and managed to get time with everything from the biggest blockbusters right through to the weirdest mobile games that we’ll never see out west. But for all those games it was a…

Read MoreNews by Matt S. If you’re an old dude like me (well, I feel old these days, okay?) then you’ll remember SSI. This legendary developer was the company that made the Dungeons & Dragons games back before even Bioware. From Wake of the Ravager to Eye of the Beholder, Menzoberranzan,…
Read MorePreview by Rob P. I shot a goat today. One minute it was happily munching on some irradiated, post-nuclear scrubland. Then I stole its water bowl, and it attacked me. So I shot it. Bam! No more goat. It’s hardly the worst of videogame crimes, but it continues to gnaw…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. The below gameplay of Bloodborne should confirm what everyone already – the game is Demon’s Souls or Dark Souls set in Jack the Ripper’s London. I mean, sure the character has a gun, and sure the violence, gore and horror theme has been turned up to…
