Review by Trent P. As Dontnod Entertainment moves into progressing the Life is Strange series, the biggest question is how the writers could even progress a series when it seemed like the characters from the original were too big to move on from. To quell these doubts the developer created…

Review by Lindsay M. I, like many video game writers, have a niche: a cozy little corner of the world filled with our favourite types of games that we know the most about. I often write about indies with heartfelt stories — and rarely about anything to do with platforming.…

Review by Clark A. Whether or not you care for it, Treasure’s most notable shoot ‘em up, Ikaruga, is heralded as a transcendent force in the genre. Its development began as one man’s labour of love and its mechanics went on to inspire a decade of more puzzle-oriented interpretations of…
