Review: Velocity 2X (Sony PlayStation Vita)

September 4, 2014

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…

Gadget Review: ASUS Transformer Pad TF103

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…

If you’ll stop tugging at my turtle-neck and conveniently recall, this year marks the 10th anniversary of Rising Star Games’ excellence in continuously bringing us titles from all over the world, titles like Deadly Premonition and Virtue’s Last Reward.

Film Review: The Raid 2 (Blu-Ray)

Review by Matt S. Cinema from the South East of Asia has certainly turned ultraviolent films into an art form. The films that often defined Hong Kong cinema have since branched into fledgling film industries in Thailand (for example: the Ong Bak series), and now Indonesia. With The Raid finding international…

News by Matt S. If you’re an old dude like me (well, I feel old these days, okay?) then you’ll remember SSI. This legendary developer was the company that made the Dungeons & Dragons games back before even Bioware. From Wake of the Ravager to Eye of the Beholder, Menzoberranzan,…

Opinion by Matt S. If you play games enough that you read gaming websites or follow game developers, journalists, or fellow game players on Twitter and the like then you’re already aware of what’s going on with #gamergate. You might have even noticed that we haven’t written anything about it…

Review: The Golf Club (PC)

Review by Shaan J. Sports games have essentially become synonymous with annual releases, and each new title is often accompanied by buzzwords like “career”, “customisation”, or “social”. Electronic Arts has been a giant in this field, investing heavily into the yearly release cycle for all kinds of sports games, with…
