April 29, 2015

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

Assassin’s Creed is at its best when Ubisoft is willing to experiment with it. When developer teams are unburdened from the AAA-budgets, and left free to experiment with narrative and form, we invariably see the potential of this series hit its peak; we see games that make interesting use of…

Dungeon Keeper/Indie/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Strategy/War for the Overworld

War for the Overworld is another in a growing list of Kickstarter campaigns that were successfully crowdfunded. In this case, the game pays homage to the classic Dungeon Keeper series from EA. What started out as a fan-made sequel after EA cancelled the development of Dungeon Keeper 3: War for…

Review: Convoy (PC)

Convoy/Indie/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Roguelike/Strategy

Convoy is one of those games that’s not entirely unique – it’s been defined as a mix between Mad Max and FTL: Faster Than Light since its Kickstarter inception – and on the surface level it could easily be passed off as another ‘clone’; yet, in doing so, you would…

3DS Review/A-Train 3D: City Simulator/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/simulation

It’ll take you a full weekend to play through the three tutorials in A-Train 3D. In that time you’ll be bombarded with text as the game slowly – but comprehensively – walks you through its myriad of systems. You’ll generally quite overwhelmed with its complexity. But by the end of…

Madman Entertainment has announced that at some point this year the live action take on the mega-popular franchise, Attack on Titan, will be getting a theatrical release in Australia.

April 28, 2015

Dunning-Kruger effect/expertise/Konami/Opinion/Silent Hills

It’s been a busy couple of days for news about Konami, and it’s the kind of news that has led to the company being crucified over social media. First the rumours swirled that it would be canning the much-hyped Silent Hills, then the company confirmed that to be the case,…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Headset/Mionix/Mionix NASH 20 Stereo Gaming Headset

In a day and age when it feels like many hardware makers are churning out version after iterated version of their gear so quickly that yesterday’s peripheral feels outdated half a day later, it is nice to see a company like Mionix taking its time and crafting a smaller number…

Review: Word Search by POWGI (Nintendo Wii U)

casual games/Nintendo Wii U/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Wii U Review/Word Search/Word Search by POWGI

Word Search by POWGI is exactly what you’d expect. It’s offers your classic back-of-the-newspaper word search. Now don’t get me wrong. I love a good word search as much as anyone else. It’s relaxing in short amounts, and is fun to complete if you have a few spare minutes to…

“Who would ever want to play a modern city builder on a console?” is a comment I have heard people ask when they heard the news that Tropico 5 would be headed to consoles. “These games need mice and keyboards and stuff!” Except they don’t. Provided a developer gets the…

God, the wait for Metal Gear Solid V has never felt so long. If you’re anything like me, and are patiently awaiting Kojima’s latest masterpiece, the wait can be unbearable. Granted, this isn’t helped by the fact that stealth games seem to have sunk into the background these days. Whether…
