News by Jedediah H. Last week, we took a stealthy, crowbar-wielding glance at Ragtag Studio’s Ray’s the Dead, a zombie adventure where commanding different units of the undead to overcome adversaries and solve puzzles is the approach to survival, and its Kickstarter Stretch Goals.

Review by Matt S. A good bullet hell game is almost like an intricate, difficult and deadly dance. With thousands of projectiles on screen at once and giant, menacing enemies, the player relies on pixel-perfect twitch reactions and foresight to be able to dart in and out of tiny “safe…

Arcade/FuturLab/Indie Game/review/Reviews/Velocity 2X/Velocity Ultra 2X/Vita Review

Review by Chris I. The PS Mini service was a promising place where small indie games could easily make their way to Sony’s gaming consoles, but was largely overshadowed by the rise of the mobile gaming industry. As with most services, the catalog shelved a handful of gems and one…

Review by Matt S. Naoki Urasawa‘s Monster is rarely out of print, and for good reason; if anyone needs proof that the manga form has artistic legitimacy, it is this landmark example of crime fiction. But in the off chance that you haven’t had the chance to check Monster out…

Preview by Nick H. We have been following Tri for a while now, with a focus on the unique art style it brings to the table. However, looking at still images is a world apart from getting our hands on the game – which is what I finally had a…

Review by Matt S. It’s truly impressive that Blizzard has been able to find yet another way to release Diablo 3. Following the PC launch of the game way back in 2012, we’ve already had one release of it on PlayStation 3, and now it’s been re-released, and simultaneously made…

Review by Andrew M. If a device halfway between a phone and a tablet is a ‘phablet’ – it makes me cringe just writing that – why should a tablet/ laptop be called a hybrid tablet? Why not a tabtop or laplet? Whatever you want to call it, it’s a…

Review by Matt S. Cinema from the South East of Asia has certainly turned ultraviolent films into an art form.
