March 14, 2019

News by Matt S. Koei Tecmo has announced the latest in its Attack on Titan franchise. This newest one, A.O.T. 2: Final Battle, isn’t an entirely new game, per se, but for fans following along with the third season of the anime, the additions are going to make it a…

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.…

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

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…

Developed by New Zealand-based (and now Tencent-owned) Grinding Gear Games, Path of Exile drew immediate attention for being one incredibly good “Diablo-clone”, and being very reasonable with its monetisation model. Basically, the game…

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…

Review by Matt S. This will surprise a fair few people, but I’m actually quite a big fan of dual stick shooters. From right back with Robotron 2084, right through to the likes of Geometry Wars, dual stick shooters have been my go-to for extreme twitch action. I’m terrible at…
