Horror/narrative/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/The Park

Review by Matt C. The Park is the scariest game I think I have ever played – though that isn’t exactly saying a lot because (a) I scare very, very easily, and (b) I don’t play a whole lot of horror games (see point a). Upon loading it up, you’re…

Review by Matt S. I really don’t like this new Doom. I realise that is shaping up to be a controversial statement, based on the other early impressions I’ve seen of the game, but I really wonder if I’m playing the same game as these people… or perhaps my expectations…

List by Nicktatorship. It’s Friday the 13th, and it’s the day Doom releases. So let’s talk about Nintendo. It and doom go well together. Here’s the thing; the Wii U suffered from a lack of games that were not made by Nintendo. We suspect that for the Nintendo NX, the…

Review by Matt S. I can’t actually think of a fighting game that is more beautiful than Koihime Enbu. The impression that it leaves, before you even hit that first button, instantly marks this brawler out to be something special indeed. DigitallyDownloaded.net was provided with a copy of this game…

Review by Matt S. This review’s a little late, but that’s okay, because I wanted to use it as an opportunity to explore the response that Star Fox Zero got from quarters of the game criticism community. So it’s going to be an unconventional review, but hey, most of you…
