Review: Killzone Mercenary (Vita)

October 1, 2013

FPS/Killzone Mercenary/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony

Review by Matt S. The genre that Vita owners have been crying out for like none other is the shooter. With a powerful processor, nice wide screen and dual control sticks there is every reason that we should have had many entertaining shooters so far on the console, but we…

Toon Link is getting a lot of love lately, first with the Wind Waker HD remake for the Wii U, and now he is showing up in some screenshots of the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game. It is really cool to see how this game is developing on both the…

Review: Gamebook Adventures 8: Curse of the Assassin (iPad)

September 30, 2013

Apple/Curse of the Assassin/Gamebook/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Reviews/Tin Man Games

Review by Owen S. Interactive choose-your-own-adventure books managed to capture the attention of many youngsters and adults alike back in the 80s. The advent of videogames more or less killed the artform, but with the iPad and its app-friendly design, gamebooks are back. As interactive novels, gamebooks allow the reader…

It’s that time of year again! As we get close to the end of the year we take the votes to figure out what the best games of 2013 were. Now, I know what you’re thinking “why so early in the year? The really big games haven’t been released yet!”…

Review: AiRace Speed (3DS)

Review by Harvard L. I’ve developed a lot of respect for QubicGames after playing AiRace: Speed. We’ve all flown planes through tunnels in one game or another, so much so that it can hardly be called a fresh gameplay experience. AiRace takes the familiar gameplay of these titles and gives…

Article by Matt S. If you’re a soccer (football, futbol, etc etc) fan like I am, then this is a great time of year. For whatever reason, both EA and Konami release their respective instalments into their soccer franchises right next to one another, and as these two are the…

Interview: The man that made a game about suicide

September 29, 2013

Indie/Interview/Interviews/Irritum/Nick Padgett

Interview by Matt S. Recently we reviewed Irritum, a game that had its fair share of faults, but one thing was undeniable; its concept came from a very serious, and very dark place. And in making a game about suicide, the developer, Nick Padgett, has furthered the idea that games…

Preview by Matt S. I was able to get some hands-on time with Tecmo Koei and Keiji Inafune’s upcoming Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. It’s a game that didn’t really appeal to me beforehand – it’s another zombie game, after all. But then I started to play and something happened. I…

We love Might & Magic: Duel of Champions at Digitally Downloaded. In fact, true story – on those nights where my extreme insomnia has me awake at 1am in the morning, the timing has been just perfect for some heated battles of cards with Nick from our US team. So…

Review by Andrew M. I grew up on console gaming, especially loving the fighting game genre. Sinking many hours with my mates into Mortal Kombat on the SNES, Street Fighter on the SEGA Mega Drive and Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo 64, it started a huge appreciation for the…
