Review by Matt S. The Shadow Sun floored me from start to finish. It’s been quite some time now since a developer took on the task of an exclusive, new, RPG for the iOS platform that offers modern production values, but that’s precisely what’s happened here, and the result is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Wayforward is usually reliable. Even when it’s building licensed titles it’s usually reliable (Thor on the DS is a truly great brawler). And while Wayforward is well known for its platformers, it has proven that it does understand dungeon crawlers with the excellent Silent Hill: Book of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Not that much has been done to this re-release of Baldur’s Gate 2. But then not much needed to be done; it’s as close to the perfect game as games come. Now on a personal level I prefer BioWare’s first Baldur’s Gate game. Back when I…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Blood Knights is one of those games that is a little difficult for me to get a handle on, because I walked away from it feeling as though I enjoyed it more than I probably should have. There are some good ideas, even if none are…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If you’ve ever played a Spiderweb Software game then you’ll know what the one-man (Jeff Vogel) studio does. Each of his games follows a very specific formula – isometric top-down classic RPG questing in the vein of such works of art as Baldur’s Gate. Breaking it…

Read More– Review by Matt S. It’s a little cruel releasing three Wizardry games and selling them as a package. One game is enough for weeks of play if you get hooked. Three is just insane. So with due disclaimer – though this is the second time I’ve played each game…
Read More– Review by Matt S. Ah Diablo. The game that spawned an entire genre. There’s just something about going clickaclicka clickaclikca clickclick that speaks to a very primal reason why we play games. That simple and predictably repetitive activity becomes compulsive once players figure out that by doing it, they’re…
Read MoreMars: War Logs is one of those games. If you hadn’t played it, and relied on the vast bulk of the reviews out there on the game you’d get the impression that it’s a shortish, generally ugly game hampered by its minimal budget when compared to Bioware and Mass Effect.…
Read MoreEA’s track record with free-to-play mobile games has been spotty. At one end of the spectrum is Real Racing 3, which manages to be a good racing game despite the monetisation model. At the other end of the spectrum is Tetris Blitz and Plants Vs. Zombies 2 – games that…
