Review by Matt S. Here’s a concept for you, and it’s beautiful in its simplicity: a girl in a schoolgirl’s uniform, carrying an impressive sword, taking on hordes of enemies on her way to an eventual showdown with another schoolgirl. A superb martial artist, this girl’s abilities to leap around,…
Read MoreDespite the proliferation of LEGO games out there, TT Games has managed to keep the series fresh enough to keep people’s interest year after year.

Read MoreMost of this review of Transformers: Devastation is going to be a rant. It’s a rant I have wanted to write for a very long time, because I have needed a game like this to be the catalyst for pointing out every single thing that has gone wrong with the…

Read MoreIt amuses me to know that this game will almost certainly be fixated on by a large number of critics and players for its costuming.

Read MoreBack when the Nintendo 3DS first launched, it offered a thin range of content and the console struggled as a result. But if there was any one game that justified for me the launch purchase of that little console, it was the original Samurai Warriors Chronicles. Related reading: Our review…
Read MoreDevil May Cry 4, when it was first released, was a big deal, as the third in the series was a prequel, so it was the first progression to the story since the second title. Now it’s back, and Devil May Cry 4 has been given the Special Edition treatment…
