Bullet Girls/Bullet Girls Phantasia/fan service/Import Review/Shooter/shooters/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Newly released in English via Asian PlayStation Network stores (grab it on the Hong Kong store if you’re keen), Bullet Girls Phantasia is a new release that is legitimately mind-boggling in how spectacularly pervy it is. And yes, it’s also quite enjoyable, in that same B-grade…

Review: Madden NFL 19 (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 10, 2018

EA Sports/Electronic Arts/Madden NFL 19/PlayStation 4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/sports game

Review by Nick H. With any game that releases on an annual basis, one has to question whether or not that release even needs to happen. Sports titles get something of a pass, not because they substantially change from year to year, but because of the cyclical nature of sports…

Review: Tetra’s Escape (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 9, 2018

Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Tetra's Escape

Review by Matt S. Tetra’s Escape isn’t inspiring. It looks like a student coding project, if that student forgot to get an artist to replace the stand-in graphics that they used while building the game. One of the main selling points of the game is that it’s an easy platinum…

Circle Entertainment/Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/SubaraCity/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Circle Entertainment is prolific on the Nintendo Switch, and that’s an understatement. From rather enjoyable grand strategy titles through to lovely artsy nature romps and some genuinely brilliant rhythm games, the publisher has come a long way from when it was churning out the most detestable…

Video: “Content” is the dirtiest word in video games

August 9, 2018

content/Opinion/Video/Video review

Opinion by Matt S. This is a bit of an odd topic, but the word “content” to describe what’s in video games has annoyed me for a while now, as it represents a lack of respect for the artistry that goes into the making of a game. With this video…

We had lots to talk about this week! First we talk about Fortnite and addiction (and the media’s horrid handling of both topics), and then move on to really excellent games that are hard to motivate yourself to play. We also chat about the new character additions to Dead or…

August 8, 2018

2D platformer/Devolver Digital/PC Preview/Previews/Retro-style/Sabotage

Preview by Matt C. I can understand why the developers of The Messenger would take what could have been a huge, shocking twist and use it as a selling point in the game’s marketing. After all, the thing I’m talking about is one of the most visible ways of distinguishing…
