Review: Dokuro (PC)

December 30, 2014

2D platformer/Dokuro/Indie/PC/PC Review/platformer/puzzle platformer/Reviews

Review by Sam M. It’s surprising to see a little indie game take on the big challenge of addressing the damsel in distress trope that has been a large point of discussion in video game culture lately. But when it’s done this well it’s hardly a complaint that Dokuro’s developers…

Manga review: Pluto (Volumes 2-5)

December 30, 2014

Manga/Manga review/Naoki Urasawa/Pluto

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…

December 29, 2014

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…

Review: Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon (PC)

December 29, 2014

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,…

News by Clark A. Here’s a bit of good news that Wii U owners might have missed over the Christmas holidays (what with the festivities and those nightly Smash Bros. marathons): Crunchyroll, the anime streaming service, has finally made its way over to Nintendo’s home console.

Review: Harvest Moon 3D: The Lost Valley (Nintendo 3DS)

December 28, 2014

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…

List by Matt S. It’s the end of the year, and in looking back through the year that was, I thought to check out the games that I’d played on my 3DS over the year, and see which ones have really stuck with me. This is actually one of the…

Review: Fight The Dragon (PC)

December 24, 2014

3 Sprockets/action RPG/Australia/Fight the Dragon/Indie/PC Review/Reviews/user content/user generated content

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…
