There hasn’t been a Double Dragon title in well over five years: the last, developed by Arc System Works, was Double Dragon IV in early 2017. It didn’t review that well, with Brad scoring it 2.5/5 stars. That’s… not good. Well, the torch has been passed new a new developer…

Read MoreI only recently read my first Agatha Christie novel, And Then There Were None. I was blown away, but a bit intimidated to get into the Poirot series as it is just so extensive. The existence of his cases in video game, form, makes them seem much more accessible for…
Read MoreBack in the early to mid ’90s, I was obsessed with educational games. Platformers? Nah. Shooters? Nah. Just let me learn! Some of my favourite games included the Carmen Sandiego series, Super Seekers games like Treasure Mountain! and Treasure Mathstorm!, The Oregon Trail, and Operation Neptune. That’s a pretty wide…
Read MoreSense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story launched in 2021; it was an okay game, scoring three stars on DDNet. Senses: Midnight is its sequel, and the first of an anthology.
