Review: Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 6, 2020

Insomniac/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony/Spider-Man

Review by Matt C. There’s no place in the world quite like Harlem. It’s a hub of Black and Latnix culture, art, and music, going at least as far back as the Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s. It’s a snapshot of the strength and resilience of people of colour in…

Review by Matt S. We are doing something very different with this review. It’s an experiment for now, and who knows how it will go in the future. Hopefully, we can do more of these in kind, but if they’re not working like we hope, then we can always pull…

Sega/Video/Video review/Yakuza/Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Video by Matt S. The latest in SEGA’s beloved Yakuza series, Like A Dragon, is an excellent game indeed. But most people already knew that would be the case. What a lot of people are less aware of is that the entire series is also very heavily rooted in a…

Review by Matt S. No More Heroes 1 & 2 was a surprise drop on the Nintendo Switch last week. It makes sense that they would make their way to the console, given that Goichi Suda is gearing up to the big release of No More Heroes 3 soon enough.…

Review: Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Sony PlayStation 4)

JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sega/turn based/Yakuza/Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Review by Matt S. When I first heard that there was a turn-based Yakuza game on the way, I had no idea how it was going to work, but I was certainly intrigued by the potential of a Yakuza X Persona cross-over. Yakuza titles are always known for being a…

Review: Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition (Nintendo Switch)

Jurassic World Evolution/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/simulator/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Who wouldn’t want the opportunity to run a zoo full of dinosaurs? I mean, assuming that you could manage it in a way that doesn’t turn to hell (a la the Jurassic Park films). I remember being enamoured to a Game Boy Advance title, called Jurassic…

Q & A by Matt S. With Square Enix ramping up to the release of Dragon Quest XI S on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One in December (this being the remastered version that the Nintendo Switch had released earlier with that gorgeous 16-bit play mode), we had the opportunity…

Review: Clea (Nintendo Switch)

November 2, 2020

Australia/Horror/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/stalker horror/Survival Horror/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Clea is the kind of game that you’ll want to champion, because it is clearly a labour of love deal. It’s the product of a largely one-man Aussie indie developer, and it comes with a strong vision, some lovely aesthetics, and all the right ideas. It’s…
