Review by Matt S. I like Left Alive. That’s quite possibly the most controversial thing that I’ve ever written, given the wave of blind hatred that the game has been attracting since it launched last week. But I genuinely like it. It’s often a mess to play, but, equally, it’s…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Brazil is a future star of game development, of that I am absolutely certain. With games like Toren, Chroma Squad and Knights of Pen & Paper, the fledgling games industry there is demonstrating that its talent is both highly creative, and makes games that have a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the features that people don’t talk about much with regards to strategy games is the stories that they tell.

Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Far Cry New Dawn is Ubisoft’s latest in its long-standing series, and picks up seventeen years after the events of Far Cry 5. In that game Joseph Seed unleashed a nuclear blast, and in this one the survivors have emerged from their shelters. With the land…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. It’s not a stretch to say there is a lot of contemporary talk regarding depression, but that’s all it is: talk. Talk about talking. This doesn’t deal with the root problem, which in Canada at least is the severe lack of access to proper mental health…
