PlayStation Network/PSN/Rising Star Games

News by Jedediah H. 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. To celebrate, they’ll be holding a super…

Film Review: The Raid 2 (Blu-Ray)

September 3, 2014

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 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…

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…

Review: The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 5: No Going Back (Microsoft Xbox 360)

September 2, 2014

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 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…
