When Matt reviewed F1 Manager 2023 upon its launch last year, he concluded: “The presentation of the information is accessible and even elegant, but this is an enormously complex sport, and the developers haven’t found a way to translate this so it’s palatable to people who aren’t already deeply invested.” Whether or not this issue changes with this year’s edition,…
Today was a pretty woeful day in Australia. I don’t want to bore the non-Australians here, but here’s the short version: we’re a country that will be at the forefront of climate change devastation. Today, our Greens political party (who went to the last election on the promise of hard…
Read MoreWe should be talking a lot more about The Dragoness: Command Of The Flame, because it taps into something that we don’t see nearly enough of anymore. It’s releasing in September, and from what I’ve been playing of it, it’s excellent. The lack of chatter about it leaves me worried…

Read MoreOne of the challenges I have with Koei Tecmo’s Warriors franchise is determining the pecking order of the various games within the series.
