Manga review: Pluto (Volumes 2-5)

December 30, 2014

Review by Matt S. The first volume of Pluto, which Madman Entertainment is currently in the process of re-releasing at the rate of one volume each month, affected me deeply. Racism is something that upsets me quite unlike anything else, so far a manga author to explore the theme to…

Kalimba/platformer/puzzle platformer/Reviews/Xbox One review

Review by Shaan J. If there’s one thing I’ve lamented about the Xbox One to date, it’s that Microsoft has really dropped the ball when it comes to small, downloadable titles. Looking back on my years with the Xbox 360, a good portion of my play time was dedicated to…

000: Armageddon/PC Review/Reviews/Slitherine/Strategy/The Lordz Game Studio/warhammer/Warhammer 40/warhammer 40k

Review by Matt S. Under the “guidance” of THQ, the Warhammer franchise really lost its way in the world of videogames, becoming laboured with useless pew pew button masher action games that may have had “Warhammer” slapped on the box title, but really wanted to be Generic Action Game 101,…

3DS/3DS Review/farming/Harvest Moon/Harvest Moon 3D The Lost Valley/Natsume/Nintendo/Reviews

Review by Clark A. Harvest Moon 3D: The Lost Valley bears the namesake and logo of the prolific Marvelous-developed farming simulators, but this new game ought to be singled out as something very different. Without delving too deeply into legal shenanigans, the aforementioned creative minds behind the bulk of the…

Review by Nick H. Fight The Dragon is a clever little title that does not wow with technical achievement, but provides plenty of fun, balanced gameplay and ample opportunity to flex your creative muscle to boot. The end result is an action RPG that is stronger than its individual parts…

Review: Papers, Please (Apple iPad)

December 24, 2014

Indie/iOS/iPad/iPad Review/Papers Please/political activism/Reviews/simulation

Review by Matt S. Papers, Please is not the kind of game that would ever feature in a Christmas countdown. It’s most certainly not the kind of game that you should be playing to set yourself in the mood for the season. It is a brutal, depressing, and frank deconstruction…
