Review: Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo 3DS)

3DS Reviews/Fighting game/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/party game/Reviews/Smash Bros/Super Smash Bros

Review by Matt S. I’ve been playing the Smash Bros. series since its very first release way back on the Nintendo 64. You might think I’m old for saying this (actually, I guess I am getting older…) But nonetheless, some of my fondest gaming memories ever have come from this…

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker/EB Expo 2014/Hands-On Impressions/impressions/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Puzzle Game

Impressions by Brad L. Captain Toad returns to the Wii U in a follow up to what was probably the most refreshing aspect of Super Mario 3D World. I recently got an opportunity for some hands-on at the EB Games Expo, and I walked away feeling exactly the same about…

EA Sports/FIFA 15/Football/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Soccer/Sony PlayStation 4/sports game

Review by Nick H. FIFA is not a series I have had as much exposure to compared to the likes of Madden, but over the last few years I have really come to appreciate not just the real-world sport, but what a spectacular job EA Sports does in recreating the…

Anime Impressions: Terra Formars

October 7, 2014

Impressions by Clark A. Balancing heavy-handed death scenes with comedy in anime seems as if it’s a herculean task at times. Dark juxtaposition can work brilliantly when executed appropriately, but I typically don’t care for trivialising serious affairs by having characters undersell heart wrenching situations with cheery or unmoved demeanours.…

News by Clark A. The launch of the New Nintendo 3DS is later this week – in Japan anyway – and it would seem Nintendo is revving up the handheld with a firmware update in preparation. The ninth major iteration of the operating system marks Nintendo’s foray into paid, customisable…

Review: Elminage Gothic (PC)

Review by Matt S. I like a good, classic, dungeon crawler, and thanks to the wonders of Steam, my laptop has a bunch of ’em sitting on it. From the original Wizardry games through to innovative indies doing spectacular things with the genre with titles such as Legend of Grimrock,…

EB Expo 2014: Hands-on with Battlefield Hardline

Battlefield Hardline/EA/EB Expo 2014/FPS/Hands-On Impressions/impressions

Impressions by Harvard L. It’s past the time in the First Person Shooter (FPS) genre’s lifetime that critics are starting to question whether each new title is necessary. We’ve pushed technical innovations so far that there’s not much more room upwards to go – FPS gameplay is slicker than ever.…

Article by Matt S. Every time that I take a trip to Japan, my purchases end up following a theme, based on whatever I’m most interested in (as souveneirs) at the time. The first time I visited it was video games and I ended bringing back a pile of Nintendo…

Review: NAtURAL DOCtRINE (Sony PlayStation Vita)

hard game/JRPG/Kadokawa Games/Natural Doctrine/NISA/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Strategy/Tactics RPG/Vita Review

Review by Matt S. So, let’s talk about Dark Souls (yes, this is a review for different game, but bear with me). In Dark Souls you play as a character that is hopelessly out of his/ her depth in a hellish world of demons and the undead. Slowly but surely,…

Impressions by Sam M. When I was lining up to play Evolve at the EB Games Expo, I got pulled out of the queue as I wasn’t in a group. I had a few minutes to meet my teammates, and then we were sent in to face the Kraken. For…
