Preview: Ray’s the Dead

May 9, 2013

Indie Game/kickstarter/PC/Preview/Ragtag Studios/Steam Greenlight

It wasn’t too long ago that I had a quick Twitter conversation with a then brand new start-up Indie studio, Ragtag Studios, letting me know about its iOS title, Unstoppable Fist. This simple mobile title not only packed a big punch, but it packed a lot of retro style and…

Review: Leviathan: Warships (PC)

Leviathan: Warships/Paradox Interactive/PC/PC Review/Steam

Paradox Interactive specialises in strategy games, and it does those very, very well. It would be easy for the studio to find a formula or two that leads to success and milk it for everything it is worth, but quite frequently they do take some calculated chances. Like anything, sometimes…

Dead Space 3/EA/Editorial/Electronic Arts/Opinion/Visceral Games

Opinion by Nick H. I really enjoyed the original Dead Space a great deal. The graphics were excellent, the sound design was appropriately creepy, it told an excellent story and gave you a reason to care about what happened to the lead character, Isaac. I am a huge fan of…

Review: Code of Princess (3DS)

Beat 'em Up/Code of Princess/eShop/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews

Let’s talk about why Code of Princess exists for a moment. Here is a game that is close to a first for the Nintendo 3DS; a full-priced retail game that was sold exclusively over the eShop in some parts of the world. Why not release it at retail? That’s easy,…

Review: Dead Island Riptide (Xbox 360)

May 8, 2013

Dead Island Riptide/FPS/PlayStation/PS3/Reviews/RPG/Xbox/Xbox 360/Zombie

Labeling Dead Island Riptide as simply “more of the same” might sound incredibly dismissive, but that’s what it is, plain and simple. It’s a game that is lost between being a full blown sequel and an expansion pack, with enough content to rival that of the first Dead Island, without…

Of all the games that are made in Japan, the ones that you will rarely, if ever, see released in the west are dating simulators or games that focus on the sexual content (and then also released on mainstream platforms like Steam or at retail, dodgy download services don’t count).…

Could there be a sub-$99 Xbox on the way and did the Wii U get a price cut already? This may just be one of the bumpiest transition years in a while as the industry tumbles into the next generation. An Xbox (with no subscription) for less than $99 USD…

CCG/collectible card game/Magic 2014 - Duels of the Planeswalkers/Magic the Gathering/Release Information/Wizards of the Coast

I am a huge Magic fan. I play it every night with coworkers, my son and I have decks we play at home and I have purchased every release of Duels of the Planeswalkers, having tried it on PC, iPad, PS3 and 360. You could safely say I am familiar…
