Review by Matt S. Swap This! costs about a dollar. When I think about the other things I can get for a dollar – one candy bar, or about 1/3 of a cup of coffee, it’s hard to look at Swap This! as anything but good value. It’s a simple…

Article by Matt S. One of the core features of 11-11 Memories Retold is the photography that one of the two characters takes from the battlefield. Designed to replicate the look and feel of the photographs that made it back from the real World War 1, this feature is a…
Review by Matt S. Why can’t more games about war be like World War 1 biopic, 11-11 Memories Retold? Rather than bombastic nonsense that functions as barely veiled propaganda and military hero worship, why don’t we have more genuine stories about war? The shattering emotions and the horror that the…
