Review by Shaan J. On paper, Deadly Premonition might seem like an awful game, and a majority of gamers and critics would have agreed with that sentiment back in 2010, when the game launched on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, that’s the inherent issue with arthouse games; while there are certainly…
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 Matt S. I am really worried that many of the people that will play Puppeteer will not realise just how incredible it truly is. A simultaneous homage and parody to the kind of “high art” theatre that has driven opera, ballet and the like for hundreds of years…
