Review: Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate (PlayStation 4)

September 2, 2014

Review by Matt S. You wouldn’t think that I’d find myself getting hooked on yet another version of Warriors Orochi 3. After playing the PlayStation 3 original release to death, and again spending an unhealthy amount of time in the Nintendo Wii U port, I found myself with a copy of…

News by Jedediah H. Have you ever laid on your belly in the middle of a cold afternoon, dreaming of pummelling some of the Final Fantasy universe’s most famous creatures and smug bosses with the power of dynamic rhythm-action, earning experience and rewards for every song well performed and foolish…

adventure game/episodic game/Microsoft Xbox 360/Reviews/telltale games/The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 5 - No Going Back/Xbox 360 Review

Review by Nick H. I thought Season 2 of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead started with something of a whimper, with characters that did not interest me much and a scenario that held promise, but failed to deliver. On the whole, this season has been an up and down experience,…

Review: Master Reboot (Nintendo WIi U)

Horror/Master Reboot/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Wales Interactive/walking simulator/Wii U Review

Review by Nick H. I love a good creepy game. They have the ability to engage the senses and mind in ways few other games can. A horror or suspense title is a challenging one to build, however. It needs to keep you intensely immersed in its world, in order…

Review by Jedediah H. Propelled by the wind, or perhaps by magical liberty, I drift the skies, the caves, the fabulous colours. But it’s the night hours in this particular world, and the blackness of the backdrop teases me to explore the apparent emptiness. So I quickly ascend and pierce…

Review: Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (PlayStation Vita)

September 1, 2014

Danganronpa/Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Dispair/NISA/PlayStation Vita/point-and-click adventure/Reviews/Spike Chunsoft/visual novel/Vita Review

Review by Matt S. The first Danganronpa was a masterclass in narrative storytelling. Taking a series of murder mysteries, and wrapping them up in a philosophical framework that covered everything from Schrodinger’s Cat to nihilism, game theory to morality, it’s the kind of game that you could replay over and…

News by Matt S. This was inevitable – some developer in Japan was going to take the Oculus Rift or Sony’s Project Morpheus technology for virtual reality, or VR, and use it to create one of those “quirky” games where for reasons unknown you, the player, find yourself in a…

Review by Sam M. CounterSpy places itself within the Cold War. Two sides, the Imperialist States and the Socialist Republic are competing in the Space Race. But it’s not the race you’re most likely thinking of. It’s a race to blow up the moon. C.O.U.N.T.E.R. has been tasked with finding…

Anime Review: Cardcaptor Sakura Complete Series (Blu-Ray)

September 1, 2014

Review by Clark A. Cardcaptor Sakura is regarded as a classic anime in most corners and, watching it again today, there’s no mystery as to why it took off. It’s a fun, innocent show with far more going on beneath the surface. It doesn’t hurt that, despite being a magical…
