Review by Pierre-Yves L. The LEGO games have come a long way from TT Game’s first LEGO Star Wars back on the PlayStation 2. With many adventures had and many to come, I think the first title that I have really looked forward to is this one. Being an original…

Review by Harvard L. Colin Thiele’s Storm Boy is a book taught in primary schools across Australia. It’s a touching story of a boy living with his reclusive father on the wild South Australian coastline, and his interactions with the natural environment. I have fond memories of this story as…

Review by Matt S. I write this review through the groggy haze that comes when you don’t get enough sleep. For the last three nights I’ve got to bed no earlier than 4am, playing Civilization VI on the Nintendo Switch well later than I had meant to, only to get…

Preview by Matt C. Gris is one of the most beautiful games ever made. This much was clear when it was first unveiled earlier this year, but to actually play it and see everything in motion is an utter delight. People often liken games to “a painting in motion”—hyperbole, most…

E3/E3 2019/News/PlayStation 4/Sony

News by Matt S. For the first time in E3’s 24-year history, it won’t have Sony on board. This is because the company is, apparently, looking for “new and familiar ways to delight fans.” “PlayStation fans mean the world to us and we always want to innovate, think differently and…
