Review by Lachlan W. To me, “walking simulator” will never be a derogatory term. For someone who values story over all else in games, I appreciate the narrative purity of walking simulators. The Fidelio Incident, by Act 3 Games, is the latest entry into the genre on PC. But does…

Review by Matt S. In the absence of Nintendo’s F-Zero series (c’mon Nintendo, surely you know how much people want that one), Sony’s had close to the monopoly on super high speed anti-gravity racing with WipeOut. Now, WipeOut Omega Collection might not be a new game, per se, but bringing…

Review by Harvard L. Rive is an excellent, if sorrowful, swansong for veteran Dutch developers Two Tribes.

Review by Matt S. Dark Rose Valkyrie was meant to be a relatively serious take on Compile Heart’s usual modus operandi. The house that built Hyperdimension Neptunia, Omega Quintet and Fairy Fencer has always been polarising, and that’s for a simple reason; this studio loves showing off the panties of…

Review by Nick H. The Tesoro Tuned In-Ear Pro Headphones deliver fairly big sound for being such little devices, but there is a bit of a cost to them. Not monetarily, because the price is right, but in their design which helps to deliver the quality audio but in the…
