News by Matt S. The most beautiful thing that has ever existed, Hatsune Miku, has been rather quiet of late in the video game arena, after SEGA apparently lost the license to produce new Miku games. Thankfully, it looks like SEGA can continue to support its existing titles, and we’re…

Review by Matt S. I like Left Alive. That’s quite possibly the most controversial thing that I’ve ever written, given the wave of blind hatred that the game has been attracting since it launched last week. But I genuinely like it. It’s often a mess to play, but, equally, it’s…

Golf Peaks/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Trent P. I have never played real golf, only ever miniature golf. And miniature golf… well, while I think I’m a pro at it, I’m fairly sure the last time I played it with a few friends their two-year old ended up with a higher score than me.…

Review: Eternity: The Last Unicorn (Sony PlayStation 4)

Brazil/Eternity: The Last Unicorn/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG

Review by Matt S. Brazil is a future star of game development, of that I am absolutely certain. With games like Toren, Chroma Squad and Knights of Pen & Paper, the fledgling games industry there is demonstrating that its talent is both highly creative, and makes games that have a…

A Japanese novel you should read: Grotesque

March 13, 2019

Literature by Matt S. Kirino Natsuo is one of the most important figures in modern Japanese literature – right up there with Murakami. Kirino’s writing isn’t exactly pleasant to read, and you’ll walk away from Grotesque feeling more than a little deflated, but the way she structures her writing, and…

News by Matt S. The Australian Classification Board provides us with some of the most ridiculous examples of censorship we see in the games industry. On the more positive side it also sometimes accidentally announces games for it. Such is the case with Castlevania Anniversary Collection, a title that hasn’t…
