Review by Nick H. The decision to keep the Xbox One at at higher price tag in order to include the Kinect 2.0 with the system was a controversial point for Microsoft. On the one hand, it makes sense that Microsoft would want to ensure that this device, which it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Of the many HD remakes we’ve seen this generation this one I don’t quite get, though I’m certainly not complaining of its existence. While Soulcalibur 2 is arguably the finest game in the franchise, it’s impossible to argue that the current generation’s Soulcalibur 5 is a…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. With the console release of Batman: Arkham Origins just behind us, I stumbled across the iOS version of the title, noticed that it was a free download and decided to give it a go. Without any knowledge of the game prior to the download, I went…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Exhibit A: Dead or Alive. A game that features rather lovely ladies (and men, but no one really pays any attention to them, do they?) wearing rather… lovely… costumes beating the living bejeebus out of one another. Dead or Alive is a popular franchise. I get…

Read MorePersona 4 Arena took its sweet time to release locally because Atlus decided in its infinite wisdom that this game of all games is the one that was going to pioneer region locking on the PlayStation 3. With this game, the follow up to one of my favourite RPGs and…
Read MoreAnime girls with super-powers knocking each other around arenas? What could possibly go wrong?! Well, quite a bit actually; as I recently found out when I sat down to play Clash of Elementalists from Teyon. I had absolutely no idea what to expect from the game, but the name actually…
Read MoreThe wildly successful reboot of the legendary Mortal Kombat franchise was initially refused classification in Australia. Too violent and all that. So, believe it or not, this release of the Komplete edition is the first opportunity that many Australians have had to play the game. Sadly, a release date just…
