News by Matt S. This is news worth getting excited about; tabletop games maker, Modiphius, has partnered with Ripstone and developer, Auroch Digital, to announce a Call of Cthulhu tactics game. Titled Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics, the game’s not just about beating off the eldritch evils of Lovecraft’s mighty vision, but…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Of Mice And Sand is simple. It’s charming, bright, and cheerful, but it’s simple. It’s a mix of Fallout Shelter, This War of Mine or Sheltered, and the great western genre of cinema. With cute pixel mice. It’s not a mix that I would have thought…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We have no shortage of stories about apocalyptic wastelands and grimy, gritty, Max Max-like action. Whether it be Fallout or Wasteland, ELEX or Mad Max itself, there’s no end of these games. It’s not surprising that Fallen: A2P Protocol wants to be one of them. Related…

There are countless…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Worms is a very good game for this time of year, when there are going to be all kinds of multiplayer events going on with family and friends, and the Nintendo Switch is a good console for it, too. Team 17’s venerable series’ first outing on…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It is my sincere hope that the executive team at EA play Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, and then pick up the phone to Paul Turbett and his team at Black Lab Games, and ask them to help EA in making Star Wars games that are respectful and…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Just released on PlayStation 4, 911 Operator is a simple, light strategy/ simulation game with one really awesome feature in particular. Ahead of my review later this week, I’ve pulled together a short video, looking at the various features within the game and giving you an…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Tokyo Tattoo Girls is, tonally, one of the oddest games that you’ll ever play. From a quick glance you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s a standard fanservice-heavy JRPG. This is particularly true since NISA, which counts JRPGs as its bread and butter, is the one…
