Review: Rollers of the Realm (PC)

November 24, 2014

Atlus/Indie/PC/PC Review/pinball/Reviews/Rollers of the Realm/RPG

Review by Harvard L. Rollers of the Realm is a pinball-RPG. Adding RPG elements to skill based gameplay can often lead to something that feels both weak and unfocused, with Destiny being a recent example, so I was more than wary upon hearing that developer Phantom Compass intended to add…

Review: LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Microsoft Xbox One)

November 23, 2014

Lego/LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham/Microsoft Xbox One/Reviews/TT Games/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. At first, this looks like almost any other Batman LEGO collaboration. The story gets off to a slow start, the world of bricks is dark and dreary and Batman is of course at the centre of things. It’s hardly innovative stuff. However, before long LEGO Batman…

Review by Matt S. The first Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f kickstarted a new obsession for me. I loved the game so much that I bought a load of Miku CDs and goods on my recent trip to Japan. I’ve even gone and purchased the Miku software, and if I…

Review: Senran Kagura Bon Appétit! (Sony PlayStation Vita)

Marvellous/Reviews/Senran Kagura/Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit/Sony/vita/Vita Review/XSEED

Review by Clark A. Senran Kagura is a franchise known for its busty women just as much as its frantic, fast-paced brawls. The series has raised many an eyebrow for reasons you can decipher within seconds of viewing just about any screenshot, but it has always struck me as being…

Review: Grand Theft Auto V (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 21, 2014

Grand Theft Auto V/open world game/PS4 Review/Reviews/Rockstar Games/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Nick H. Grand Theft Auto V is a title that, like The Last of Us Remastered, was ahead of its time. And because of this they are much more at home on the PlayStation 4, despite not having been initially designed with the current generation of consoles in…

Gadget Review: iHome iB14 FIT Earbuds

November 20, 2014

Earbuds/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/iHome iB14 FIT Earbuds

Review by Nick H. Gaming-on-the-go. It goes hand-in-hand with audio-on-the-go as well. The iHome iB14 FIT Earbuds are not necessarily meant for gaming, but they can certainly be used in that capacity. They are more interested in hanging on during active travel or exercise, being very portable and sounding good.…

Review: Dragon Age: Inquisition (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 20, 2014

BioWare/Dragon Age/Dragon Age: Inquisition/EA/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Matt S. I love genuine RPGs, of the kind developed by a studio with a passion for recreating the classic pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons experience. These kinds of projects are sadly rare now, as the industry has gradually moved towards more linear narrative storytelling and action-based gameplay, but…

News by Clark A. I’ll readily admit I’ve never actually watched this show, but it’s a prime contender for the “Most Captivating Anime Name” award I just conjured up three seconds ago. The snappily titled Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl was originally released by NIS America early last year. This…

Anime Review: Mayo Chiki! Series Collection (DVD)

November 20, 2014

anime/anime review/fan service/harem/Mayo Chiki!/school romance

Review by Matt S. Cross dressing is literally one of the oldest tricks in a the book for people looking to bring the laughs. After all, Shakespeare himself used cross dressing to brilliant effect in Twelfth Night. And, just as importantly, as evidenced by the fact Shakespeare did it, when…
