Opinion/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/sales figures/Sony

Opinion by Matt S. It’s no secret that the PlayStation Vita is, in commercial terms, a struggling console. In March, for instance, it only sold 10,000 units in America, according to NPD data. Though there are some extenuating factors that come into that woeful number, such as a new Vita…

action RPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/RPG/Smash Cat Heroes

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Smash Cat Heroes is a new release to the Nintendo eShop and it’s a decent take on the button-mashing side of the action RPG genre. Mainly as the name implies, players smash (hack/slash/launch) their way through dual screen environments while fighting against hordes of incoming cats.…

Review by Jim S. If you like Texas Hold ‘Em poker, then Governor of Poker is a decent game and at a cheap price. Which will be fine for some people, but there isn’t much more to it than that. When you start playing you’ll be asked to pick between…

News by Matt S. Dragon Age is a big deal. Despite the second in the series being quite disappointing, the sheer quality of the original, released back in 2009, is enough that Dragon Age: Inquisition is right at the top of our “to play” lists. And now we have a…

Review by Matt S. Why can’t more games be this much fun? Nintendo Pocket Football Club has absolutely no pretensions about what it is; it’s a casual and lighthearted football management sim that aims to replace the sheer depth of other, more serious, football manager games. It seeks to do…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. The platforming genre, whether it be action, adventure, puzzle, or something else entirely, has been around for a long time and it’s sometimes hard to find something new and innovative to do that doesn’t give people cause to think “it’s all been done before”.
