Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 5/exploitation/Opinion/sexism

Article by Matt S. $60. If you’re going to buy the complete set of optional downloadable costumes available for Dead or Alive 5 (that being all the costumes released for the previous versions of the games, Dead or Alive 5 and Dead or Alive 5 + on the Vita), you’re…

Review: Tactical Space Command (iPad)

September 23, 2013

Apple/Harpoon/iOS/iPad/Reviews/Strategy/Tactical Space Command

Have you ever played Harpoon? Possibly not, it’s a rather old game and even when it was new it was a niche within a niche. But if you’re a fan of strategy games then Harpoon, even now, is an accurate simulation of real military strategy and conflict. It’s also clearly…

Disney Infinity Toy Box on iOS; everyone (including Nintendo) should pay attention to this

September 23, 2013

Apple/Disney/Disney Infinity/iOS/Opinion/second screen experience

Over the last couple of weeks Disney has released a few “companion apps” to its rather wonderful Disney Infinity console game. The first of these was a little throwaway. Action! Was clearly designed for kids who have been dragged away on a trip and whose parents didn’t want to spend…

Review: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs (PC)

September 20, 2013

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs/Frictional Games/PC Review/review/The Chinese Room

Review by V8Ninja. Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs was not developed by Frictional Games. Rather, the game was developed by The Chinese Room. The Chinese Room’s resume only features one video game, which was Dear Esther. While I cannot judge any of the claims, many individuals criticised Dear Esther for…

September 20, 2013

3DS/casual games/DSiWare/Letter Challenge/Nintendo/Reviews

Review by Joseph L. Letter Challenge is a straightforward edutainment game for the Nintendo’s DSi service that anyone can enjoy. The simplistic layout and limited content is perfect for players of all ages who want to kill some time and test their spelling skills. Right off the bat I’m going…

Review: Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix (PS3)

September 19, 2013

action RPG/Disney/JRPG/Kingdom Hearts/Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Square Enix

Review by Matt S. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix was a good idea by Square Enix. This is a series that has become utterly incomprehensible for any player who hasn’t kept up with each new release over the years, and so packaging three of the more critical stories together will…

3DS/3DS eShop/Capcom/Phoenix Wright

Amidst all the AAA blockbuster titles releasing in the coming months, one of my more anticipated titles has to be Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies. It’s been a few slow years for Ace Attorney fans – not only did the 6th game in the series not see a…

Allied Corps/Matrix Games/PC/Reviews/Strategy/turn based

Review by Rob P. I’ve played this game before, and so have you. Well, perhaps not this game, precisely. But certainly one like it. Allied Corps is the latest standalone expansion in the venerable Panzer Corps series, which is itself the successor to the Panzer General franchise of the mid…
