News by Matt S. We had wondered how From Software would follow up on Dark Souls II. We had felt that perhaps that franchise had been tapped out as far as possible and that perhaps, just perhaps, the developer would be better off doing as it had with King’s Field…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. So we’ve just concluded all of the major conferences for the E3 show, not including Nintendo’s video feed for tomorrow morning. This means that we essentially know all of the big blockbuster games for the year, and we know precisely what each of the major players…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Anyone who knows me knows that of all Tecmo Koei Warriors franchises, it is Samurai Warriors that is my favourite. Samurai Warriors 3 on the Nintendo Wii was a game I spent literally hundreds of hours on (and can no longer play online with friends, sadface).…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Murdered: Soul Suspect frustrates me; it’s a game that shows a world of potential, but ultimately fails to execute on its many promises. In so many ways this game is the textbook case study of the issues with big budget game development. But first, the very…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Sparkle 2 is nothing new, let us get this out of the way from the get go. Many people may remember a game called ‘Zuma’ by PopCap Games, even fewer would remember Puzz Loop, a similar match-three bubble shooting game that was only released in Japan,…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ve ranted and raved about how much I love Zen Pinball 2 often enough in the past. But we have been waiting for a “proper” DLC pack for a while now, following a couple of individual table releases (Football and Dr Strange). Star Wars Pinball: Heroes…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There’s a constant among games developed by indie outfit, Spiders; its games have heart. Works like Of Orcs and Men and Mars: War Logs are undeniably constrained by limited budgets, but the independence of the developer has meant that it has been free to build games…
Read MoreContest by Nick H. Strike Suit Zero is a lot of fun; you can read our review of it here. Furthermore, it’s another great little hidden gem for people with PlayStation 4s to enjoy. Thanks to the developers we have three download codes to give away for the game. All…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Octodad: Dadliest Catch’s premise is, at its very core, inherently stupid. Playing as an octopus is already silly enough, but stuffing him into a cheap three-piece suit and tasking him with living a normal life all while continuing to pass off as a loving father is…
