When the demo for Silent Hill: Book of Memories was released, I wrote with great enthusiasm about how great and important that game was, for both gamers and the Vita itself. Having played the full game I need to revise down my initial impressions a little. That’s not to say…
Read MoreThere’s something about Cyanide Studios’ games that I love. Even when its games fail to live up to the promise, these guys are clearly genuine in their love for the same kinds of games that I love. Cyanide is the team that revived Confrontation – one of the finest miniatures…
