News by Lindsay M. With its launch expected sometime next month, Nintendo’s first mobile game is slowly picking up steam. First came the announcement, of course.

Review: Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia (Sony PlayStation 4)

Assassin's Creed/Assassin's Creed Chronicles Trilogy/Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia/Climax Studios/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Stealth/Ubisoft

Review by Matt S. I really didn’t think that Climax Studios would manage to outdo its effort with Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India. The Chronicles series has always struck me as the most experimental Assassin’s Creed titles that we have seen to date, and on top of that, India was the…

Article by Matt S. (Not really, I do love you all) Over the weekend I discovered that a whole bunch of my favourite Dungeons & Dragons games from yesteryear had been released on GOG. We’re talking old games here; the kind you need DOSBOX to run, and developed and published…

Review: Siralim (Sony PlayStation 4)

Indie/monster collection RPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/RPG/Siralim

Review by Matt S. Siralim is my kind of retro-themed nostalgic rush. Where others get stuck right in to all those pixel-heavy platformers that the indie space is so inundated by, I’d rather kick back and rip through something just like this. Back when I was a kid, there was…

Feature by Hamza A. How often does a racing game get singled out for its soundtrack? The short and correct answer is: never. There was a time when licensed soundtracks and repetitive techno beats ruled the genre, but that paradigm’s ready to shift if more and more the likes of…

Hieroglyphika/Indie/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Roguelike

I really have no words with which to describe Hieroglyphika. That’s the joke, since aside from the title you won’t be finding a single written word in this game. Everything is represented using pictographs, which makes localisation a cinch for Chinese one-man developer M. Hanka. Hieroglyphika is a roguelike in…

Fans of the series are going to be very (very) happy with Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, which is easily the best of the entire series. Now on the current generation of consoles, the visuals and combat are both better than ever. Admittedly, the fighting can be a little…

Opinion/Trophies

I’d like to start by saying that I love trophies. I love achievements. I’m kind of addicted to them. The sound of a trophy popping gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside that satisfies a craving I never thought I had before. Yep, you could even go so far as…
