One of the bigger new features added to the iPhone and iPad with iOS 7 was a formal structure for controller support. There have been some controllers produced in the past, but these were workarounds – there hasn’t been a formal, native support for controllers. Until now. And, all of…

Before Verdict Day, I had never played an Armored Core game. So picture, if you will, someone whose first experience of a game is a bunch of prompts to import a character from Armored Core 5, then set up a character because I selected ‘no.’ Then I had to wade…

Review by Matt S. Sphero 2.0 doesn’t come cheaply. In fact, this might be the most expensive ball that I’ve ever played with with a retail of $180 or thereabouts in Australia. It’s a good ball though. I have had a ball playing with it (l promise I’ll keep the…

Remember Daikatana? If not, that’s possibly because your memory has blocked the experience out to preserve your sanity. John Romero’s follow up to Doom and Quake was nothing short of horrific – not because it was the same kind of B-horror world of Doom and Quake, but because it was…
