Review by Mikhail M. Hue by Fiddlesticks surprised me in every way, which is good, because on paper it doesn’t sound like too much; it’s a puzzle platformer that relies on colours. That simple concept belies one intensely well-crafted game, however, in which everything from the title screen music to…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. There’s a lot of value to be found in games that abandon a typical approach to storytelling in favour of something more abstract and esoteric, and this is something there’s been a welcome surge of in recent times. At the same time, the linear, overt narrative…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I think it was about the time I hit the giant bunny that shot lasers out of its eyes, standing on a background that looked like a really messed up kid’s Yoshi game fan art. I think that was about the time that I came to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ninja Pizza Girl is a sharp reminder that you should never be in pizza delivery. The nakedness that is potentially about to greet you with every door that you knock on is, all in itself, reason to list this right up there with the most hellish…

Read MoreRetro reflections by Nick H. There has been a lot of talk lately about Nintendo’s upcoming games and console. People often try to figure out what Nintendo’s next innovation (or gimmick, depending on one’s feelings on the matter) have been wide-ranging over the years. People are already trying to read…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. It’s 1986, life hasn’t been the best thing up until this point but you’ve just turned thirty-three, you’ve got a loving wife and daughter, that’s all that you need isn’t it?
