News by Jedediah H. If you feel that the current selection of games available for your PS4 is lacking in playfulness, child-like wonderment, and 3-D plat-forming that requires fair skill in timing, dig up your old colouring book and don those sunglasses; The Last Tinker: City of Colors is available…

Review by Harvard L. The vampire mythos is a veritable narrative goldmine for any horror writer worth their salt. The genre naturally lends so well to discussions of power, purity and violence that there’s plenty of potential for some great scares along the way. But Vampire Hunter D is not…

Review by Nick H. There are a handful of variables that can impact how much you enjoy the PC gaming experience. Much of it starts with the rig itself and whether or not it can handle the games – or perhaps push the boundaries of what the game is capable…

Review by Matt S. This anime could not have been easy to localise. In fact, I’m surprised that anyone even tried. Bakemonogatari comes to us from Nisio Isin, the young Japanese wordsmith who is rapidly developing a reputation for being something well beyond his peers in the light novel space.…
