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…

anime/anime review/Bakemonogatari/DVD/harem/Nisio Isin

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.…

Preview by Matt S. Who remembers Goldeneye? Everyone who was playing games when the Nintendo 64 was the big Nintendo console does, I assume. And as good as the game’s single player mode was it was truly something special for its split screen multiplayer. How I remember having night after…

Opinion by Matt S. Everyone likes a top-10 list. They’re a bit of fun, and always good for discussion. And so every so often we pull together a “top 10” list. These are here for fun and laughs – we’re not pretending that we’re the authority of good games taste…
