Review by Matt S. Who needs Mario Kart when you’ve got Hello Kitty Kruisers? I mean, sure, Mario Kart has tight, precise racing, gorgeous tracks taken from decades of kart racing expertise, and dozens of characters to choose between, but Hello Kitty Kruisers has boats and planes and Cinnamoroll. There’s…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Nintendo Switch doesn’t need games like this in its library. An “enhanced” port of a PC port of an iOS game, Timberman is shallow, limited, pointless “entertainment”, with a ridiculous grind thrown in that tries to stretch the ten minutes of “fun” that you’ll get…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. This, right here, is how you do a complete package of a game, and give people who purchased the original title more than enough reason to double-dip. This is how you give people who missed the game the first time something so loaded with content that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I find FMV games to be an oddly uncomfortable experience. It’s one thing to take control of and manipulate digital characters through an experience. It’s quite another to feel that sense of control over actual people. Especially now, when FMV games are of a standard equivalent…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Nintendo Switch has already outsold the Wii U. Small wonder, then, that Nintendo is committing to bringing the many high quality games from that train wreck to a console that people actually want to own; for many of them, these may as well be brand…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. This is going to be one of the shortest reviews I ever write, because there is so little to this game. But then again it’s going to set you back $Aus1.50 (or equivalent in other parts of the world), and as the saying goes, you get…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Well, here’s something I didn’t expect; a roguelike that actually got me excited to play a roguelike. With a ridiculously high percentage of indie developers deciding that randomised levels are a clever way of padding out the amount of “content” in a game, and “roguelike” being…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Nostalgia’s a tricky beast. Not only do you need to tap into the memories and emotional response that people have to the thing you’re waxing nostalgic about, but you need to do so in a way that doesn’t also capture all its problems. And when you…
Read MoreReview by Tyler T. While the name might sound like total nonsense to those that aren’t intimately familiar with the Novus Orbis Librarium, Eat Beat Deadspike-san is actually a rhythm game spin-off of the BlazBlue fighting game series. The game takes advantage of the Nintendo Switch’s touchscreen, and has players…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. The Bunker is yet another feather in the Nintendo Switch’s cap, so far as interesting and different experiences on the platform go. As a FMV, cinematic-style game, players will find themselves engrossed in the daily ritual of the protagonist, John, who has grown up in a…
