Review: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 7, 2014

Activision/Call of Duty/Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare/FPS/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sledgehammer Games/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Matt S. For many and varied reasons I have not traditionally found myself getting along with the Call of Duty franchise, but to narrow it down to a quick summary; I’m a big fan of narrative and not the world’s biggest fan of online multiplayer, and so Call…

Review by Matt S. I have my little pots of paints lined up in front of me. A cup of water sits on the side, and newspaper covers my desk. I reach my hand into a box and pull out the first of dozens of small, metal miniatures. This little…

Review by Nick H. Portable systems offer a great deal of flexibility for gamers on the go, but they tend to introduce some unique challenges as well, ranging from how to protect them to keeping them charged to the best way to transport them. The 3DS was handy because its…

anime/anime review/harem/Samurai Bride/sexy

Review by Matt S. The good old harem genre. I don’t think I’m ever going to get sick of it, for the simple reason that it’s insane. It’s silly, it’s irreverant and, yeah, it’s on the embarassing side of ‘sexy,’ but ultimately I find them to be of the ‘leave…

News by Matt S. Koei Tecmo is bringing Atelier Rorona to the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. And it may well be a different game to the JRPG classic on the PlayStation 3 and Vita. See, the Atelier Rorona on the Nintendo 3DS has a completely different art style to the…

Review by Jim S. For the 35th anniversary of the Alien franchise, Sega and The Creative Assembly have released Alien: Isolation. I can’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate one of the most beloved sci-fi horror films ever made. The game takes place 15 years after the events…

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

November 5, 2014

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.…
