Review by Chris I. One of the joys of writing game reviews is that sometimes it’s the least expected games that surprises you. When Big John Games’ Ohno Odyssey came across my desk, the thought that came to mind was: “Oh no!” Yet, this charming little alien filled physics-based puzzle…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/My Cloud/WD My Cloud/Western Digital

Review by Matt S. In the last couple of years “the Cloud” has gone from a marketing term for something that technology vendors have tried to sell to big corporations to something that everyone understands. Thanks to Sony offering players the ability to keep their game saves safe even if…

Review by Nick H. I am a big fan of sports games. Madden is a yearly acquisition. NBA games as well. Hockey, golf and baseball are a slightly slower cycle, but I generally follow the sports in real life and enjoy their video game counterparts. Outside of playing soccer as…

Review: Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics (Wii U)

Mario And Sonic Olympic Games/minigame compilation/minigames/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Sega/Sports/Winter Olympics

Review by Matt S. With each new release, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic (or Winter Olympic) Games takes one more step towards becoming a generic and soulless minigame compilation. There’s still fun to be had from these games, but it’s easy to tell that budgets are getting smaller and…

Review: Word Wizard 3D (3DS)

Review by Clark A. Word games and video games were two of my favourite pastimes growing up but the two largely remained segregated affairs. Back in the day, the simplicity of handhelds condemned crosswords and the like to the realm of pencil and paper. It’s somewhat disheartening, then, that Word…

Interview by Matt S. A month or so ago at the EB Games Expo in Sydney, one game really caught out attention, and it wasn’t from one of the triple-A developer or publishers; it was home-grown digital card game, Infinity Wars. Here was a PC game with real ambition, and…
