July 4, 2014

Art Game/Compulsion Games/Contrast/Microsoft Xbox One/platformer/puzzle platformer/Reviews/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. Contrast is an interesting look at a family struggling to stay together in the 1920’s. The primary character is a small girl named Didi, though the player actually controls Didi’s imaginary friend who shift through the light and shadows creating a world of 2D and 3D…

Cocoro/Cocoro: Line Defender/line defence/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Tower defence

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Going into the wonderful water-coloured world of Cocoro I expected a wonderful and light experience. What I got however was a hardcore, brutally unforgiving experience. Cocoro: Line Defender does a great job of using the two screens of the 3DS. Units are sent from the base…

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f 2nd/News/PlayStation 3/PlayStation Vita/Sega/trailer

News by Jedediah H. Just as dulcet-voiced fans (like me!) of the incomparably charming Hatsune Miku were getting used to the fact that the sequel to her first game to be released in the West, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F, was actually dancing its way to the global market, SEGA…

Review: World of Tanks Blitz (iPad)

F2P/Free-to-play/freemium/iPad/Reviews/Shooter/shooters/wargaming.net/World Of Tanks/World of Tanks Blitz

Review by Matt S. I guess it was inevitable that the shining light of quality free-to-play military action would eventually make its way to the platform where $0.99 upfront can be seen as expensive but then people are willing to spend $100 in virtual coins to buy slightly prettier houses…

Opinion by Matt S. Today I was shopping at my local EB Games store, and the customer in front of me was a grandfather, who was obviously buying a game for his grandson, who was standing with him at the counter, and was at most 14 years old. The game…

Anime review: Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie (DVD)

July 3, 2014

anime/anime review/Cardcaptor Sakura/fantasy

Review by Matt S. Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie was originally released in 1999, but it feels so much older than that. In demonstrating just how far animation has come thanks to the increasing role of technology in it, Cardcaptor Sakura feels more like a Disney movie of old than most…

Opinion by Matt S. UPDATE: It looks like the outcry has succeeded in getting the IeSF to completely reverse its decision. Good on the organisation for realising that it screwed up, we say. E-Sports is a new concept. Thanks to the success of games like Starcraft, League of Legends, Street…

Review: Frontline: Road to Moscow (iPad)

July 2, 2014

Frontline/Frontline: Road to Moscow/iPad/Reviews/Slitherine/Strategy

Review by Rob P. War is brutal. War is a pitiless clash of ideology, a contest of arms, a dreadful reckoning of shattered lives. But war also takes place politely, in turns. One side attacks, then waits patiently while the other side has their go. And when the last shell…
