It’s that time of year again!

News by Matt S. Ghost of a Tale is a stealth action game by a tiny development team (SeithCG), and yet you wouldn’t tell that it’s such a small-scale production. It looks every bit the part of a mid-tier release, and it has had an enormously positive reception on PC…

Review by Matt S. With the death of THQ, many of us who were fans of the original Darksiders and its sequel assumed that it would be the last that we saw of the series. Then Nordic Games (now THQ Nordic) grabbed the license for itself, formed up a new…

People are too sensitive about spoilers

Nintendo/Opinion/Spoilers/Super Smash Bros/Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Opinion by Matt S. It’s a little over a week until Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lands on people’s Nintendo Switches, and, inevitably for such a high profile title, that means some people have already got the game.

Preview by Matt S. If there’s one thing that Fire Emblem Heroes proved without a shadow of a doubt, it’s that the mechanics of a tactics JRPG can be tailored for mobile quite nicely. Langrisser has, over the years, been Fire Emblem’s closest rival, and Langrisser’s development team apparently noticed…

Review by Matt S. It seems appropriate that at about the same time that the (current) pinnacle of realism in video games – Red Dead Redemption 2 – is released, Killer7 would also have its long-awaited re-release. Originally a console exclusive on PlayStation 2 and GameCube, Killer7, to this day,…
