Preview by Sam M. There aren’t many games that make me stop and look at every little individual aspect of a game. Tearaway does that. Brought to you by Media Molecule, the same team behind the LittleBigPlanet series, Tearaway brings the same creativity and pure joy that you would expect…
Read MoreReview by Andrew M. I didn’t really know what to expect when loading up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate for the first time. With this being my first taste of the uber-popular Castlevania series, I was pleasantly surprised and taken back to the side scrolling adventures I…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As much as the traditionalists would hate me for saying this, there are times where I would prefer to play a game using a nice, big touch screen. There are certain times where a human’s ability to directly interact with an object will provide superior precision…

Read MoreI thought it would be tough to follow on from Rayman Origins.
