Review by Matt S. Under a very, very specific set of circumstances, Bravo Team can be good. If you’ve got one of those PlayStation Aim gun peripherals (the ones that shipped with the excellent Farpoint last year), and you’re willing and able to play online multiplayer with someone else who…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Roguelike FPSers are a rather specific genre, but I do like them. If done well they’ll be fast paced, high action shooters, reminiscent of the Dooms and Heretics of old, and that random level design means that these games can be interesting to play and replay…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is a shooter-orientated take on the Sword Art Online formula. It still features plenty of grinding and single player MMO-style gameplay, but done in the context of a shooter. Related reading: Clark reviews a Sword Art Online game from a few…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. A shooter that manages to be intelligent is a rare, precious thing. Not just intelligent in the sense of it being “anti-war” or subversive, such as games like the recent Wolfenstein titles or Spec Ops: The Line. Nor just in the way that it plays with…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. MercurySteam is a Spanish studio which should be familiar to fans of Castlevania and now Metroid – it has been the one championing those respective franchises with new entries long after their original developers moved on to different projects. But MercurySteam has been less prolific in…
Read MoreOpinion by Ginny W. Games dealing with war as a subject matter saturate the market. Ghost Recon: Wildlands may have been more about foreign terrorism being enacted on Bolivia than war specifically, but it was still harrowing in its insensitivity.
