Video by Matt S. Tricky Towers has been hanging around for quite some time, but the good people at Super Rare Games have picked it up for a limited physical release on Nintendo Switch. They shot me over a copy to play around with, so here’s a video of that!…

Review: Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia (Nintendo Switch)

Brigandine/Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia/Matrix Software/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Strategy/Switch Review/Tactics RPG

Review by Matt S. Back on the original PlayStation there was a game called Brigandine. I didn’t play it. I suspect a lot of people didn’t. It faded from popular memory quickly enough, and there was never a proper sequel. Now, though, 22 years after the original launched in the…

News by Matt S. D3 Publisher continues to demonstrate that Earth Defence Force is one of the most creative and criminally under-appreciated properties out there. The company has shared a new trailer for the next entry into the series – World Brothers – and this thing is just amazing. See,…

Review by Matt S. There’s a Miku game that even I can’t defend. Hatsune Miku – Tap Wonder – MikuTap, as the developers would like to have you affectionately know it as. What a disappointment this thing is. We’ve had some excellent Hatsune Miku games on iPhone in the past.…

We’ve got to stop finding “Citizen Kanes” in every halfway-decent game

Citizen Kane/Opinion/The Last of Us 2

Opinion by Matt S. I’m going to write a list of names for you. I’m hoping that you’ll spot where this is going immediately, but there will be one name that stands out because they don’t really belong. See if you can spot which one it is: Shakespeare, Wilde, Mishima,…

Review: Demon’s Rise – War For The Deep (Nintendo Switch)

Demon's Rise/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/RPG/Switch Review/tactics game

Review by Matt S. I’m a firm believer that video games should only be as long as they need to be to convey their key themes and experience to the player. If a game’s narrative is only worth an hour’s play, then make it an hour-long game. That’s preferable to…
