October 3, 2013

EB Expo 2013/EB Games/EB World Expo 2013/Hardware/PlayStation/PlayStation 4/Preview

Update: Thanks to everyone that took the time to leave us a genuine comment – it was great hearing from you all. However, as the comments have degenerated into a lot of insult slinging and elitism, I’ve decided that enough is enough and unfortunately the comments for this story needed…

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…

Enjoy Gaming has been coming out with quite a few DSiWare games over the last couple of months, and while some of them like Little Red Riding Hood and Puss In Boots from the Tales to Enjoy! series were aimed at small children, Astro looks to be geared toward an…

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…

Want to play the worst FPS ever made? Daikatana hits Steam

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…
