News by Matt S. I must admit that I miss classic horror games. Horror, for me, peaked back on the PlayStation 2 with the likes of Project Zero, Silent Hill, Clock Tower and Haunting Ground, and we’ve seen over the years since that mainstream horror has become progressively more sanitised.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It amazes me more than a little that Nintendo has allowed Advance Wars to sit on ice for so long. Yes, of course, Intelligent Systems is working on Fire Emblem instead, and that series is doing so well for it, but you look at the number…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Warborn, a new tactics strategy game being published by the good people at PQube games, releases about a week from now. We’ve had some good, solid time with the game and… if you enjoyed Advance Wars (and who didn’t?) you’re going to love this one. It’s…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Dusk Diver was released in the wrong part of the year. Given some space away from the half dozen other, excellent, JRPGs and other big releases that have come over the last month, Dusk Diver would have grabbed some attention for its cool aesthetic and lighthearted…

Its simple combination of grind-reliant action-RPG gameplay and an overload of cat puns made it adept at giving players small, frequent rewards. I distinctly remember being strung along through the colourful open world, helping…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. In yesterday’s CUC we shared the news that there would be a sequel to the gorgeous, beautiful mystery visual novel, Root Letter, and that it would be called Root Film. Now we’ve got the great news that Root Film will indeed be localised, by PQube, the…
