Review by Harvard L. The fighting game genre is one which really hasn’t changed a whole lot since its inception. Ever since players of Street Fighter 2 back in 1991 realised that using certain moves one after the other created an unescapable chain, the “combo” was born and along with…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Infinity Wars is a game that caught our attention at a very early stage in its development. When we previewed it, it was buggy and somewhat poorly balanced, but it had a soul and X-factor and we just knew that at some point it would become…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I worry for whoever came up with this idea for a game. Tanto Cuore is a card game all about collecting maids. Yes. Collecting. Maids. Somewhere in some dude’s (I’m sure it’s a guy who invented this game) mind the idea of having a game entirely…
Read MoreThe games industry tends to mock games that have a yearly release cycle. Call of Duty and the FIFA games are prime examples – games that people accuse (rightly or wrongly) of phoning in the barest minimum of new features and innovation in order to sell to the same people…

Read MoreMagic The Gathering is a game I’ve long felt belonged on the iPad. After all, the physical card game is so popular precisely because it is portable – anywhere becomes an impromptu battle of the minds with this game, and unlike a game like chess, it’s easy to pack away…
Read MoreI’m not quite sure what the point of 3D Solitaire is. I mean, it’s a card game – perhaps the most basic popular card game of all time – and I’m not sure anyone was hanging out for a 3D take on it when the 3DS was announced. Card games…
Read MoreLet’s kick this review off with three warnings: Warning #1: there was no hype to this game, and Nintendo has tried to bury it in the eShop. Warning #2: It’s by Circle, who has become the new Gameloft in terms of shoddy ideas poorly executed. Warning #3? This review, because…
