Look, obviously Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson is targeted at a particular kind of audience with its voluptuously top-heavy ninjas, and that is just fine. The developers know their audience. The better question is how well does the game play and does it actually present the material in an effective,…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Power Rangers Super Megaforce draws heavily on the long running show, its story is basic and uninspired, and most of the gameplay elements are no better. That is not to say it is a terrible game, but Power Rangers Super Megaforce is pedestrian at best, and…
Read MorePreview by Trent P. Over the years the brawler has become a mainstay for multiplayer hijinks. However, rarely does a game come by that challenges the genre’s conventions. Overruled! is an early access game developed by Dlala Studios which offers a twist to the traditional brawler mechanics. Overruled! might seem…
Read MoreNews by Jedediah H. Partially due to its over-the-top humour that was largely an effect of its tongue-in-cheek criticism of sexualisation, Senran Kagura Burst was a surprise hit on the 3DS when it released earlier this year, which is awesome for fans and aspiring players because thanks to that title’s…

Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. If The Legend of Dragoon and the miscellaneous brawlers over the years had a love child, then this would be it. Lucifer Ring’s main character Nash looks and behaves as though he could have been the twin of those other classic heroes. This is a genre…
Read MoreReview by Andrew M. I grew up on console gaming, especially loving the fighting game genre. Sinking many hours with my mates into Mortal Kombat on the SNES, Street Fighter on the SEGA Mega Drive and Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo 64, it started a huge appreciation for the…
Read MoreI am a big, big fan of the Sacred franchise. Some might say they are mere Diablo clones, but the scale and scope of these games – especially Sacred 2 – makes it easy to lose weeks of time exploring a truly massive world. Throw in a reasonably interesting mythology…
Read MoreIt’s rare that a game is so influential that it becomes an entire genre in itself, but God of War is one example of that rare feat. In fact, this style of brawler has become a very popular genre in the years since the PlayStation 2 original. The problem is…
