Video by Matt S. I had not been paying attention to RAD prior to its launch. I don’t really know why, other than to say there’s so much other stuff out there. But Double Fine’s latest is a perfect nostalgia trip right back to the glories of 80’s cartoons. From…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Children of the 80’s, perk up. If you grew up with a diet of He-Man, She-Ra, Transformers and the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon (hey, look, I wasn’t asking you to judge me here), then you owe it to yourself to play RAD. It’s not the perfect…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s important that we draw a distinction between “melancholia” and “sadness”, “misery”, and other such synonyms.

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. (Mild content warning with regards to a depiction of a suicide) Crystar, out soon, comes to us from FuRyu in Japan, and Spike Chunsoft in the west. It’s an action JRPG with a particular trick – it’s all about crying as a gameplay mechanic. If that…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Blade II is a good example of everything wrong with the mobile gaming space. It’s a shallow, vapid, and completely pointless waste of time to play. Removing the microtransactions and free-to-play monetisation and instead asking people to drop money on it up-front doesn’t fix things, either.…
Read MoreReview by James T. Before stepping into the world of Super Cane Magic Zero: Legend of the Cane Cane (nothing quite like a snappy title that rolls off the tongue), I quickly take stock of my inventory to ensure I’m ready for the perils that lie ahead of me. I’m…
