News by Clark A.It was 2011 when Nintendo released a remake of the Nintendo 64’s classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS. While obviously not as influential as its forefather, it was generally well-received by critics and players alike. So well-received, in fact, that it spawned a…

Gadget Review: PDP Nerf Armor – Nintendo 2DS

Review by Nick H. The 2DS is a strange beast for Nintendo handhelds as it forgoes the clamshell folding design that had worked so well with previous DS units. That design means that it needs a robust carry case to protect those previous screens from damage while out and about.…

Anime review: Devil Survivor 2: The Animation (DVD)

Review by Matt S. Atlus games lend themselves well to anime adaptations, because the narratives of those games are invariably the most engaging part of them. As we saw from the Persona 4 animation, for instance, by cutting out the occasionally repetitive dungeon exploration, the overall experience, if anything, improved…

Anime review: Attack on Titan Collection 2 (Blu-Ray)

Review by Matt S. I was a big fan of the opening opus of Attack on Titan. Underneath its highly-refined popular anime art style and pacing was a series that offered something substantially more, beyond action sequences and filler between more action sequences. It still revelled in its violence, and…

3DS Review/Bandai Namco Games/brawler/licensed game/Nintendo 3DS/Power Rangers Super Megaforce/Reviews

Review by Nick H. Power Rangers Super Megaforce draws heavily on the long running show, its story is basic and uninspired, and most of the gameplay elements are no better. That is not to say it is a terrible game, but Power Rangers Super Megaforce is pedestrian at best, and…

Review by Matt S. Australia’s Torus Games is a specialist in licensed games. Over its long history (which has extended as far back as the original Game Boy), the studio hasn’t been responsible for what you could call classic games, but it has done a better job than many other…

Review by Sam M. It has been far too long since we have been accompanied on a puzzle adventure by a harrowing, sometimes crazy, omniscient narrator. Stealth Inc 2 is brought to us by Curve Digital, and is exclusive to the Wii U. There is a simple premise behind the…

Review by Rob P. I’m not much good at selfies. There’s the unappealing subject matter, for a start. Then there are the technical problems. Snap a shot with your phone’s front camera, and you inevitably get an off-centre view of a bit of your face and a lot of your…

Review: Just Dance 2015 (Microsoft Xbox One)

Review by Nick H. Some games look to hook you with a deep storyline. Others try to rely on polished or innovative mechanics. Others, like sports titles, are yearly releases that have some small updates and try to build on progress made from one year prior. Just Dance 2015 is…
