News by Matt S. Everyone that follows film even mildly knows that Sean Bean is “the dude that dies.” The number of films where he plays someone who is killed at some point is truly astronomical. It’s become a bit of Hollywood in-joke. Like the six degrees of Bacon game.…

Review by Matt S. It’s been a long time since my last “new” Soulcalibur title. I was a big fan of Soulcalibur 2 in both the arcades and on my GameCube, and I did enjoy the HD remaster of that on PlayStation 3. Otherwise, though, I’ve largely skipped this series.…

Review by Matt S. Cyanide might not be the most renowned developer out there, but if there’s any genre I would trust the team with implicitly, it’s in virtualising old board games. The difference in quality between Space Hulk: Tactics, and the previous Space Hulk title (Ascension), is truly impressive.…
