The first thing that came to when I picked up the Mortal Kombat X Fight Pad by PDP was this: “Well this sure feels different.” I mean that in a good way, however. Certainly everyone has their favourite controllers for different reasons, but I think most fight fans can agree…

It took a while for the Japanese developers to really start jumping on board with the PlayStation 4, with the first year of the console’s existence being marked very heavily with games from western developers, but only a few notable examples from Japan. Now, though, after a truly spectacular couple…

Spiders is surely one of the most underrated developers out there. The French company behind the likes of Bound by Flame, Of Orcs and Men and Mars: War Logs consistently produces RPGs that are conceptually rich and backed up with unique, original gameplay. They don’t always work as well as…

Costumes/Hatsune Miku/The Friday 10/Top 10

I’m going to be a bit lazy this week and make a list of pictures for the Friday Ten (sorry, it’s been a very long week). That said, after last week’s favourite Miku music tracks from Project Diva, I thought it would be fun to do a list of my…

Earlier this week we reviewed TyranoBuilder, a great bit of software brought to us by Nyu Media that allows people to create their own visual novels. That being said, it is a reasonably limited piece of software in some areas at the moment, such as the lack of existing art…

It was bad enough when Disney did it. It was even worse when Nintendo did it, by doing it at such low quantities that there were worldwide scarcity on launch day. What am I talking about? Turning physical toys into physical DLC packs for video games. The Disney Infinity miniatures…

Australia/Australian Government/Opinion

It’s coming up to the date where the conservative Australian Government will announce its second budget after winning office in 2013.

platformer/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Woah Dave!

I honestly believe that games are headed to a period of amazing creative development. Completely liberated of technical limitations, and having access to tools like Unity, game developers are creating stories that are deeper and more personal.
