Review by Matt S. Fighting games based on anime franchises are a bit like film tie-in games; they can either offer something genuinely thrilling for fans of the franchise… or they can wind up being a nothing game living in the shadow of the genre’s finest, and failing to do…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Child of Light is a poem, both literally and figuratively. I resist to even call it a game; it simply stands as a testament to the true artistry that an interactive work can achieve when a developer is allowed to simply create. Clearly unburdened by commercial…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels is an odd game. In an era where collectible card games (CCGs) are typically free-to-play and focused on multiplayer, Millennium Duels has an up-front cost, doesn’t demand microtransactions after that, and is more focused on the single player experience.

Where in Christianity demons are unequivocally evil and beyond redemption; they are the embodiment of faith turned sour, in Japan the closest thing to a demon is an Oni –…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Silent Hill is by far the most intelligent “mainstream” horror franchise. Dealing with weighty issues of guilt, loss, mental instability and religion, the series has always gunned for a higher breed of horror storytelling than some of its more straightforward counterparts (I do mean Resident Evil,…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. Although the Sly Trilogy was released on the PlayStation 3 way back in 2010 and now it has stealthy appeared on the PlayStation Vita, and that’s a good thing, since in this package are some of the finest 3D platformers you’ll ever play. The first game,…
