Review by Moshe R. I am not the only person who considers it no coincidence recent worldly events have been taking place at a time in which World War 2 is fading from living memory. Take Brexit as an example, with the British population disregarding the European Union greatest achievement:…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. A game like Black Mirror getting a high profile re-release in 2017 is surely reassuring proof of the health of the games industry. Starting life as a point-and-click adventure game in 2001 as The Black Mirror, the series has always been trying to find its voice…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Three absolutely classic console point-and-click adventure games, re-released almost pixel-perfect for the PlayStation 4.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s no secret I love Danganronpa. These visual novels are not just entertaining, darkly humourous whodunnint murder mysteries. They’re also intelligent and insightful games that look at a host of interesting philosophies and themes, from game theory to moral relativism. Wrap that up in some light…
