Anime review: Kill La Kill Vol 01 (DVD)

October 28, 2014

action/anime/anime review/DVD/Kill la Kill

Review by Matt S. I know I’m late to the party with Kill La Kill, but I was aware of the controversial reputation that the series had before I put the disc into my DVD drive. It took me around five minutes to understand why. This is a series that…

Review: Prophour23 (PC)

October 28, 2014

Indie/PC/PC Review/Prophour23/Reviews/RTS/The Secret Pie/Tower defence

Review by Harvard L. Prophour23 may bill itself as a casual Real Time Strategy, but after playing it for a while I can honestly recommend it as one of the best mystery games I’ve played in a while. This is a game where discovery is the key to victory and…

Gadget Review: Kingston HyperX Skyn Mouse Pad

Gadget/Gadget Review/Gaming Pad/Hardware/Hardware Review/Kingston/Kingston HyperX Skyn Mouse Pad/mouse pad

Review by Nick H. I find myself continually surprised by slight tweaks and innovations from established hardware products. A few years ago I would have simply said that a mouse pad was a mouse pad and most only different in either colour or shape. However, Kingston, while known for its…

Preview by Pierre-Yves L. Second chances are not something that come around everyday. Unfortunately earlier this year, Neverland had to close its doors even after the release of the successful Rune Factory 4. Within the same year, Two Tribes almost suffered the same fate. Thankfully Two Tribes was one of…

Review: F1 2014 (Sony PlayStation 3)

October 27, 2014

Codemasters/F1/F1 2014/PlayStation 3/PS3 Review/Racing Game/Reviews

Review by Matt S. I was absolutely mystified that F1 2014 was exclusive to last generation consoles and PC. Surely, with all developers now effectively moving their franchises to the next gen consoles, Codemasters needed to at least release a “HD” version of the game on the PS4 and Xbox…

Review: The Evil Within (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 27, 2014

bethesda/Horror/PlayStation/PS4 Review/Reviews/Shinji Mikami/Survival Horror/Tango Gameworks/The Evil Within

Review by David W. It’s becoming increasingly rare to see a game that fully innovates within its genre, instead of merely borrowing and adapting what has worked before. The Evil Within comes at a time of resurgence in the survival horror category. Several recent releases, whilst attempting to capture the…

Impressions by Clark A. Princess Yona leads a peaceful life. She’s got more liberty than you’d expect from a family of nobility and one of her few “worries” is whether or not her hair colour suits her complexion. When her childhood sweetheart, Soo-Won, stops by the castle one day, Yona…

List by Matt S. Everyone likes a top-10 list. They’re a bit of fun, and always good for discussion. And so every so often we pull together a “top 10” list. These are here for fun and laughs – we’re not pretending that we’re the authority of good games taste…

It’s a week of Miku book reviews! Day 5: Hatsune Miku Graphics: Vocaloid Comic & Art Volumes 1 and 2

Review by Matt S. With all the coverage that we’ve been giving Hatsune Miku and her band of adorable vocaloids, I thought that it would be a good time to review a series of Hatsune Miku (and friends) art books by Udon Entertainment. And so each day this week we’ll…

Review: Forza Horizon 2 (Microsoft Xbox One)

October 24, 2014

Forza Horizon 2/Microsoft Xbox One/Playground Games/Racing Game/Reviews/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. What happens when you take someone who does not particularly love racing games, and you sit him down with Forza Horizon 2? Turns out you wind up with a person who spends roughly the next six hours in front of his television playing nothing but a…
