News by Matt S. When it rains, it pours. Five years ago MMOs were at best a novelty on consoles. Now we’ve got the likes of the brilliant Final Fantasy XIV, and Perfect World is getting in on the action by bringing free-to-play MMO, Neverwinter, to the Xbox One, with…

Review by Matt S. It seems really strange for a collectible card game (CCG) to be an exclusively single player experience. After all, we are talking about a genre in which a core part of the appeal is in pitching wits against a real human being. CCGs are at heart…

Review by Matt S. Secret Files: Tunguska has been around for a long time now. First released in 2006 on to PC, the game also made its way to the Nintendo Wii and DS in 2008. Now, six years later, it’s available on the iPad and iPhone. I’ve been a…

Review by Clark A. If Strike Force Foxx doesn’t take you back to the eighties, you didn’t live them. Or maybe you just didn’t consume popular American culture, but surely such frivolous sweeping statements must always be taken at face value. At any rate, it’s a competent 2D shooter that…

Review by Shaan J. Unlike Matt and Nick, when they reviewed of the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game (respectively), I come to Dark Souls 2 with much less experience of the series, though that doesn’t mean that I’m left entirely in the dark. I’ve dabbled with both…

Review by Matt S. Res Publica is the smallest piece of (paid) DLC for Europa Universalis IV so far. Coming after the extensive Conquest of Paradise and Wealth of Nations DLC packages, Res Publica might even feel like a downer at first, but while it lacks bells and whistles, it’s…

009-1/009-1: The End of the Beginning/B-grade/exploitation/film/film review

Review by Matt S. Exploitation cinema is a constant across the world. It doesn’t really matter if the film comes from America, Japan, Europe, or Australia, you’re going to get much the same thing, regardless where they come from. Exploitation films are short – and would be much shorter if…
