Review by Tyler T. As an American, I’m pretty much obligated to love a few things: guns, systemic oppression, apple pie, and baseball. Sadly, my patriotism has limits as I’m not much of a pie person, but I do love me some baseball. I’ve been to dozens of games in…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the most difficult genres to look at critically are those casual match-3 type games. There are just so many of them, and they rarely deviate from one another in any meaningful manner, that it becomes difficult to look at any individual match-3 release on…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. The Queen is dead. These words may send shivers down the spines of the Queen’s constituents, but for me it’s a sign of rebirth. Mostly because, let’s be real, if the Queen is dead then I did a terrible job of making her choices for her.…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Just released on PlayStation 4, 911 Operator is a simple, light strategy/ simulation game with one really awesome feature in particular. Ahead of my review later this week, I’ve pulled together a short video, looking at the various features within the game and giving you an…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Tokyo Tattoo Girls is, tonally, one of the oddest games that you’ll ever play. From a quick glance you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s a standard fanservice-heavy JRPG. This is particularly true since NISA, which counts JRPGs as its bread and butter, is the one…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. The Internet has a soft spot for cats of all kinds. Throw a rock in a subreddit and you’re bound to hit at least five pictures of some kind of feline creature (though you may want to refrain from doing that in /r/rule34) – that’s how…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. “You’re a wizard, Harry… And a thumpin’ good one, I’ll wager, once you’ve been trained up a bit and can spell long words with random letters quickly while using a joystick and remembering odd button choices.” Related reading: This actually isn’t the first word RPG on…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Birthdays The Beginning is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. It’s not pushing polygons like Horizon: Zero Dawn or any other blockbuster game out there might, and it doesn’t have the vivid stylisation of a game like Persona 5; but what characterises Birthdays…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Castle Battles is as casual as strategy games come. You’ve seen what this game offers, more or less, many times before, and, on a platform such as the iPad, which already has a glut of both casual and serious strategy games, this is going to struggle…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. A beastly creature captures a pretty girl and hides her in a forgotten-looking castle. You’ve likely heard a story with this plot before, and if not look no further than Disney’s current remake of its ’80s hit (and my personal favourite) Beauty and the Beast. Or,…
