Review: World Conqueror X (Nintendo Switch)

March 7, 2018

Circle Entertainment/grand strategy/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Strategy/Switch Review/World Conqueror X

Review by Matt S. The rarest of rare – the absolute roc’s teeth – in console gaming is the grand strategy genre. There are so, so few attempts at bringing serious strategy games based on real-world conflicts that, as a fan of the genre but who doesn’t generally like playing…

Review: Bravo Team (Sony PlayStation VR)

Bravo Team/FPS/light gun shooter/rails shooter/Reviews/Shooter/shooters/Sony/Sony PlayStation VR/Supermassive Games/VR Review

Review by Matt S. Under a very, very specific set of circumstances, Bravo Team can be good. If you’ve got one of those PlayStation Aim gun peripherals (the ones that shipped with the excellent Farpoint last year), and you’re willing and able to play online multiplayer with someone else who…

2D platformer/action platformer THQ Nordic/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Rad Rodgers/Reviews

Review by Priscilla M. We’ve all discussed it – what video game world we would choose to live in if it were possible. Rad Rodgers takes that well-loved idea one step further and inserts the player into a fourth-wall breaking, self-aware video game experience. The original release escaped my attention…

Goichi Suda/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/The 25th Ward/The 25th Ward: The Silver Case/visual novel

Review by Matt S. As a passionate fan of the genre, I can say that there just aren’t enough games, films, books and so on written in the noir genre. The glory days, back when Raymond Chandler was captivating audiences with his writing and Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were…

Review by Harvard L. Radiation Island is a survival game the same way that Dead Island is an RPG – it’s not the finest example of its genre, the execution can be a little less than pristine at times, and yet at its core lies a compelling gameplay loop which…

Review: Totes The Goat (Nintendo Switch)

March 5, 2018

Arcade/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Q*Bert/Reviews/Switch Review/Totes The Goat

Review by Matt S. Totes The Goat is good. It’s nothing memorable, nor innovative, not particularly creative, but it’s good. It’s clean. It’s a huge sight better than that last effort to “modernise” the Q*Bert formula. Q*Bert is up there with Pac-Man and Space Invaders as my favourite classic game…
