Review by Matt S. In Australia, climate change is hitting our farmers hard. Prolonged drought, ruined crops… it’s not a pleasant time to be a farmer across much of the country. That’s something that most of us don’t think about much. We live comfortably in cities where agriculture is almost…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If it wasn’t for Project Highrise landing on Nintendo Switch just a week ago, I’d be recommending Townsmen. The Nintendo Switch is a perfect device for city building simulators, but aside from a really (really) poor port of Cities: Skylines and a cheap little mobile port…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Senran Kagura, the franchise, is great. Whether it’s the water gun shooter, the mainline action brawlers, the anime or the upcoming pinball game, this series brings extreme, ridiculous, hyper-sexualisation in a way that can only be called “rambunctious”.
