Horror/PlayStation 4/Preview/stalker horror/Survival Horror/Until Dawn

I love slasher and stalker horror films. Before I was legally allowed to watch them, I was devouring stuff like Friday the 13th, Halloween, the Chucky films, an even the more obscure stuff like the Leprechaun series (Jennifer Aniston back in the day…). Related reading: Here are ten of my…

Zen Studios has turned its Marvel-themed pinball tables into an art form. Each table has been carefully crafted to reflect the personality of the character and franchise that they depict, and even though the tables generally conform to the same rules of real pinball tables, Zen Studios is a master…

Nier is brilliant. I’ve said that approximately 100,000,000 times already (give or take), and I quite literally leaped out of bed with an almighty “OMG” when I woke up to the news that a new Nier was annouced at Square Enix’s E3 show this year (I’m Australian and the show…

I think the LEGO games are wonderful, and while they have been around for as long as I can remember, they have consistently been special games indeed. They capture a certain charm whether set in the halls of Hogwarts, travelling through Gotham City, or, now, even taking on Minecraft, LEGO…

Given the popularity of dual stick arcade games like Geometry Wars and Super Stardust, it makes a lot of sense that we would see more twin stick shooters being made by indie developers. The genre is known for being accessible to a wide variety of gamers, yet also maddeningly difficult…

Review: Spectra (Microsoft Xbox One)

July 15, 2015

Arcade/Gateway Interactive/Mastertronic/Microsoft Xbox One/Racing Game/Reviews/Spectra/time trial/Xbox One review

Spectra is a great throwback to the yesteryear of twitch racing games. Everything about the game rings solid, yet almost nothing gives the impression of spectacular. The end result is a fun game that will entertain in small doses, but does not provide enough depth to keep me coming back…

How many 2D fighters have we played this year? Battle Fantasia is a somewhat simplistic approach to a 2D fighting game and clearly looks to similar games as inspiration. Like multiple games before it, Battle Fantasia offers a diverse range of characters that all have different fighting styles, with no…
