Review by Harvard L. It’s 2018 and things exist, indie games are occupying every niche available, and here’s a blackjack game on Switch which perfectly recreates the style and look of Street Fighter II. The similarities are uncanny, down to the choices in colour palette, the lavish backgrounds and the…

Article by Matt S. So I’m in Japan for my annual pilgrimage (for Tokyo Game Show and other things). In most years when I’ve been here I’ve also indulged in a bit of travel journalism and shared stories and photos of my travels. I’ll be doing some of that this…

News by Matt C. There have been rumours circulating for the last few days thanks to a German ratings board leak, but it’s now officially official: Resonance of Fate is getting remastered for PlayStation 4 and PC. The better news? It’s out next month—October 18, to be precise. Resonance of…

Review by Matt S. As a big fan of the old gamebooks that I obsessively consumed through my childhood, I was so impressed with what Tin Man Games did with The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Taking the basic gamebook experience and turning it into a blend of board game and…

News by Lindsay M. Give me a game that involves exploring a creepy old house, and I’m instantly personally invested due to my love of old architecture (both my parents studied architecture so I come by it honestly). Since I love games in this setting, you can bet I’ve played…

Review by Nick H. Just about everything a basketball enthusiast could want can be found in NBA 2K19. There are numerous options and modes, with excellent on-court action and outstanding presentation values. There are still a handful of quirky things that occur on the court, and 2K’s truly horrible approach…

Review: Senran Kagura Reflexions (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. Senran Kagura, the franchise, is great. Whether it’s the water gun shooter, the mainline action brawlers, the anime or the upcoming pinball game, this series brings extreme, ridiculous, hyper-sexualisation in a way that can only be called “rambunctious”. Because those games also tended to play well,…

Gadget/Gadget Review/gaming keyboard/Hardware/Hardware Review/keyboard/Roccat/Roccat Horde AIMO

Review by Rob P. My, this is a sprightly one. There’s a definite liveliness to the key action on the Roccat Horde Aimo. In comparison with other mid-price keyboards it’s like having a trampoline for your fingers. This is all deliberate, of course. Roccat have never been shy about trying…
