Review by Nick H. The Risen franchise has always been a series that aims to do great things, but its minimal budgets has traditionally come back to bite its ambition in the backside. That is still the case here, as the team behind Risen 3: Titan Lords has set out…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I thought Season 2 of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead started with something of a whimper, with characters that did not interest me much and a scenario that held promise, but failed to deliver. On the whole, this season has been an up and down experience,…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I did not even know Afterglow made headsets, let alone produced so many of them. I have seen and used its controllers in the past (often with very good results), but not headphones. The PL-3792 is flashy (literally) and comfortable, but also surprised me in providing…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Some people have described Amazing Princess Sarah as Metroidvania in style, but really there is almost not Metroid – just plenty of ‘vania’. In terms of the style both visually and how the game plays, this is one of the better Castlevania-inspired titles I have had…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Wow. That is how you conclude an episodic series of games. The Wolf Among Us has proven itself to be an excellent narrative throughout the first four episodes. Episode 5 is an almost perfect conclusion to a series of episodes that had me far more invested…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Street Fighter has been punching and kicking for so long now that it is sometimes hard to believe that the series is really only technically onto its fourth iteration. Of course, there have been a lot of Street Fighter IVs now, and each and every time…
