4A Games/FPS/Horror/Metro Redux/Microsoft Xbox One/Remaster/Reviews/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. We’ve already seen plenty of remastered games this generation. Some are well worthwhile (The Last Of Us), while others are most certainly not (Tomb Raider). Metro 2033 and Last Light were both excellent titles, and now they’ve been given the update treatment, with a variety of…

Review by Nick H. Mouse pads come in a lot of shapes and sizes, but I have to say that the Glorious Extended Gaming Mouse Mat offers a unique set of dimensions. Ringing in at 36″ x 11″ in length and width, with a 3mm thickness, when I first unrolled…

anime/anime review/DVD/Majestic Prince/mecha

Review by Harvard L. There’s a certain glee in Majestic Prince which sets it apart from most other offerings in the mecha genre. While esteemed directors have long been mixing the namesake giant robots with politics, philosophy and melodrama, Majestic Prince moves that all to the side and instead focuses…

News by Nick H Earlier this summer, I had the chance to review Ultra Street Fighter IV – which was an amazing update to an already incredible fighting game. This series has been around a very long time – and they have grown their roster to ridiculous proportions. It was…

News by Jedediah H. I’m going to adorn a clip-on tie, inch the tenderest parts of my buttocks to the edge of my seat, and confess something that I almost always defer telling a charming woman on the first date: I’m madly passionate about gaming (crazy, right?). But my passion…

Review by Nick H. Sometimes things that just do not seem like they should mix together, wind up working out beautifully. PopCap Games has knack for this very thing, especially when one considers the success of its hit Plants vs Zombies line defence series. When PopCap announced that it would…

Review by Matt S. Are fitness bands mainstream yet, or are they still the kind of hipster toy that you see people wearing, but just know they have no idea how to use the thing? It’s a difficult question, because every single mobile hardware manufacturer seems to be producing them, but I…

Preview by Matt S. Sim 4 releases next week in Australia, but EA was keen to show off its latest game about little people that speak gibberish. And so I got to head over to an event and test things out before the launch. I’d like to introduce you to…
