Review by Andrew M. I didn’t really know what to expect when loading up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate for the first time. With this being my first taste of the uber-popular Castlevania series, I was pleasantly surprised and taken back to the side scrolling adventures I…

Review by Max S. Silent Valley: Mystery Mansion HD is a video game. A point-and-click adventure game, to be precise. And that’s about all there is to say about it. It’s a video game that I installed on my iPad and played for a few minutes and didn’t dislike. Then…

Review by Harvard L. Most fishing games fall into one of two categories. On one side there are sport fishing games, which take liberties from reality to ramp up the excitement of fishing by adding time limits and high scores to chase. On the other side of the spectrum are…

Review by Matt S. As much as the traditionalists would hate me for saying this, there are times where I would prefer to play a game using a nice, big touch screen. There are certain times where a human’s ability to directly interact with an object will provide superior precision…

Review by Chris I. With the console release of Batman: Arkham Origins just behind us, I stumbled across the iOS version of the title, noticed that it was a free download and decided to give it a go. Without any knowledge of the game prior to the download, I went…

Review by Matt S. Straight Right deserves recognition for being the best developer in the industry when it comes to porting games to the Wii U. Its port of Mass Effect 3 was a tragic tale; despite producing the finest version of one of the finest games of the generation…

Opinion by Matt S. It’s been a long time since I cared about a big game release on the PlayStation Vita. Reading that sentence you might assume that I’m not playing the console any longer, but that couldn’t be further from the truth; if anything the Vita is my most…

Opinion by Nick H. It’s hard to believe the next generation of consoles is right around the corner. I suppose a fair point could be made that the Wii U actually kicked that generation, though many people felt it was more of a midway pit stop than a full on…

Review: Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag (PS3)

Assassin's Creed/Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag/Historical Fantasy/open world game/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony/Ubisoft

Review by Matt S. I loved Assassin’s Creed 3. I realise that’s a controversial statement to make for the fans of the earlier AC games, especially considering that I wasn’t a fan of the series until AC3 (at all), but the trip through early-era America was for me a revelation.…

Review by Nick H. Boy Pac-Man has changed a lot over the last 33 years. I still remember the arcade cabinets that released when I was just a little kid back in 1980 (I feel like I just dated myself a bit there). But as with all things, a touch…
