Review: Costume Quest 2 (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 14, 2014

Costume Quest/Costume Quest 2/double fine/Halloween/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/Sony/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Shaan J. Looking back on my younger years, I often feel that I simply went through the motions when Halloween rolled around year after year. To me, Halloween felt like more of a chore than anything, a social event that I simply had to participate in because everyone…

Beat 'em Up/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Rock Zombie/So bad it's good/Wii U Review

Review by Matt S. I would like to start this review with a story. A personal anecdote, if you will. One night after a lot of alcohol (digression: why do I have so many stories that start like that…?), I switched on the TV just in time to catch one…

Gadget Review: Tesoro Excalibur G7NL LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

November 13, 2014

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/keyboard/Tesoro/Tesoro Excalibur G7NL LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Review by Nick H. The term ‘gaming keyboard’ indicates additional functionality above and beyond just precision typing. But that implies that it should also do typing very well, and while I spent more than enough time using my mouse and keyboard for gaming, I actually use my keyboard for traditional…

Review: The Muppets: Movie Adventures (Sony PlayStation Vita)

November 13, 2014

platformer/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/the Muppets/The Muppets: Movie Adventures/Vita Review

Review by Matt S. I am completely convinced it is more difficult to make a game for children than any other genre. Because simply making a simple, watered down version of whatever existing genre the developers have decided to appropriate won’t work. Children are not stupid, they understand and demand…

Review: Pure Pool (Microsoft Xbox One)

November 13, 2014

Microsoft Xbox One/parlour game/Pool/Pure Pool/Reviews/sports game/VooFoo Studios/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. Pool is a very strategic game. It’s not just that there are the various angles and shots a person can play, but as with poker, it’s more important to consider your opponent than what is in front of you. If I do not think I can…

Arc System Works/Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy/JRPG/News/Sony PlayStation Vita/trailer

News by Jedediah H. While gaming has a number of tropes that should probably be toned down – like the righteous yet murderous white protagonist who wins fondles and admiration from the girl, despite all the said murder, for example – amassing a charming force of individually unique awesomeness to…

anime/anime review/comedy/My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

Review by Matt S. My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is not really what I expected. What I expected was one of those ridiculous hypersexualised teen romance/ drama/ slice of life dealies like Photo Kano. What I got was something that was surprisingly touching and honest. The anime follows the exploits…

Review: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Microsoft Xbox One)

November 12, 2014

Activision/Call of Duty/Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare/FPS/Multiplayer/Reviews/Sledgehammer Games

Review by Nick H. With no Battlefield game on the way this year, Call of Duty gets to be the premier holiday season FPSer. With a new developer at the helm promising a host of new features and a revamp for a new generation of hardware, there was a lot…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. What if you went to sleep but couldn’t wake up? What if, to make matters worse, you were trapped in a nightmare instead of a beautiful relaxing meadow? It’s hard to imagine this, but what if you put yourself there? Addiction is a hard thing to…
