3DS Review/Namco Bandai Games/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures/platformer/Reviews

Review by Nick H. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the recently released Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on the PlayStation 3. It offered some neat throwbacks to Sonic or Mario in there with its 3D platforming and power-ups. Namco Bandai made a game with the same name…

Arcade/Arcade Classics 3D/compilation/Enjoy Gaming/game compilation/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/review/Reviews

Written by Michael B. Game collection titles are an interesting oddity. From an uninformed viewpoint they seem like the best of both worlds, as developers are given the freedom to mess around with several dozen different mechanics and players are given more variety for their money. Unfortunately, most game collections…

Review by Andrew M. One of the best things about the tablet market today is ability for developers to take our childhoods and turn them into iOS apps. I’ve got fond memories of epic games of Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Risk, and now I can now relive it anywhere. Not…

Opinion by Matt S. I think we all knew that a new Mass Effect game was going to happen at some point, but it’s been formally confirmed now. The problem is, as much as the BioWare fan in me is looking forward to a new Mass Effect game, the realist…

List by Matt S. Without a doubt the Nintendo DS was a JRPG powerhouse. Developers were able to create meaty, in-depth experiences for a relatively low cost on the console, making it perfect for cash-strapped JRPG houses. Coming up with a list of my favourite ten JRPGs for the little…

Review by Michael B. Before I go onto the review proper, I want to point out two things. Firstly, I was never able to get Gravi to run in Steam’s Offline Mode. This was tested on both a laptop and a dedicated gaming desktop. I have contacted the developer Hashbang…

Review by Sam M. Another year comes and goes and with it comes the latest instalment in the Battlefield series. Battlefield 4 is what you’ve come to expect from the series but at the same time, the developer, DICE, has taken a lot of time to refine the game and…

UPDATE: Games industry legal professional, Josh Cavaleri, has confirmed for me over Twitter that the publishers will not need to front the cost of the re-review. No, the Australian taxpayers will foot the bill. What a way to use our money, folks. Twelve MA15+ rated games are going to go…
