Review by Sam M. One of the reasons I love my Vita is that it has allowed me to play a large assortment of games that I never got to experience before. Sony has taken the liberty of porting quite a few of its PS2 and PS3 games tto the…

Review by Rob P. Here’s an experiment you can try at home. Take a pencil and draw a line on a sheet of paper. This is the Line of Game Complexity. Draw a cross at the far left and label it ‘tic-tac-toe’. Congratulations! You’ve just set a baseline for the…

Review by Matt S. Even though the iPad and other mobile devices should be perfect for tactics gaming, we haven’t seen that many Japanese tactics games on the platform. There’s Spectral Souls and a Final Fantasy Tactics port, but there aren’t any new tactics JRPGs coming to the iPad. This…

Review: Wolfenstein: The New Order (PlayStation 4)

Review by Shaan J. I’m surprised that Wolfenstein: The New Order ever saw the light of day. Not only is it an entry in a fairly low-key series (let’s be honest, the Wolfenstein franchise has lost much of its importance over the last few years), but it’s a narrative-focused single-player-only…

Review by Matt S. It’s fun to be critical of Candy Crush Saga. After all, it’s the most casual of casual games, it has a sharply effective monetisation system, and the publisher of the game, King, isn’t the most popular in the world right now. But Candy Crush Saga is…

News by Clark A. The Pokémon anime series may be a quite prolific one, having now gone nearly 850 episodes strong, but that’s not enough to stop TV Tokyo from releasing frequent movies, shorts, and specials to supplement it. The latest of these spin-offs is Pokémon: Mega Evolution Special I,…
