Assassin's Creed/News/rayman/theme park/tourism/travel/Ubisoft

Not satisfied with simply bringing its console games into the next generation, Ubisoft has revealed it is attempting to do the same for theme parks. In an announcement that – for many of us – came out of nowhere, it disclosed their plans to build a “next-gen” theme park in…

Fight Pad/Gadget/Gadget Review/Gadget Review: PDP Wired Fight Pad for Wii U - Metal Mario/Hardware/Hardware Review/PDP/Performance Designed Products

Fight Pads can be a hit or miss item. Sometimes they feel a bit more like a novelty item. The Mortal Kombat one I reviewed some time ago was really just for fighting games with somewhat distinctive controls. It was well made, but really only built for those specific games…

Crikey/Hatsune Miku/report

Over at Crikey, one of the major independent media outlets in Australia (and the same publisher that was kind enough to publish my report on how the Australian government’s policies were ruining our games industry), I have had a piece published about Hatsune Miku and vocaloids.

Beyond Eyes is coming to PlayStation 4… and you’ll never guess when!

Beyond Eyes/News/PlayStation 4/Sharida Halatoe/Team 17

Beyond Eyes is right up our alley here: it’s a game heavily reliant on visuals to create the story, and in quite a literal sense. I was the lucky one to review it on Xbox One, and not only did I give it five stars but I would have given…

“Mellow greetings, what seems to be your Boggle?” a guard quips to Wesley Snipes. Wesley responds by asking the guard how much he weighs before throwing him through a glass cabinet. At times while playing Boggle for the PlayStation 4, I felt like the guard, other times, I felt like…
