Review by Matt S. Tale of Tales continues to prove that it is the preeminent developer of games that are not just artistic by accident; they’re developed specifically to be art. And they’re an eclectic team to say the least; after such dark projects as The Path and The Graveyard,…

Apple/Drive on Moscow/grognard/iOS/iPad/Reviews/Strategy/Wargame

Review by Matt S. Drive on Moscow, the follow up to Shenandoah Studio’s previous wargame, Battle of the Bulge, is a near carbon copy of the engine that ran the team’s previous effort. That’s a good thing because there are still far too few genuinely serious wargames available on the…

Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/YouTube

The 3DS finally has an app that allows people to watch YouTube videos. The good news is that it works. The bad news is that it doesn’t work that well. To explain what I mean I’m going to directly compare the app to the Vita and mobile/ tablet experiences of…

Arcade/Housemarque/PlayStation/PS4 Review/Resogun/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Nick H. Those purchasing a PlayStation 4 early have had PlayStation Plus pushed their way frequently. It is all over the PlayStation Store, most games come with a free seven day trial and if you already had it for your Vita or PlayStation 3, it lives on in…
