Review by Matt S. Welcome to this week’s short ‘n sweet reviews, where I look at a number of games that I’ve been playing that I just haven’t got the time to do give full reviews to. These aren’t necessarily bad games – not at all! But rather they are…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There are more racing games with more tracks and more cars than DiRT Rally, but after having logged a lot of hours with this title, I am not sure there are many more racing games out there that are better than this one. This is a…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Bleak. This is the primary adjective that comes to mind while I was playing Tom Clancy’s The Division. Not in a bad way, because the game is absolutely worth experiencing, but it is not ‘fun’ the way a lot of people define the term. It is…

Read MoreAt first Attractio looks as though it might have something interesting to say about reality television and our need for entertainment, wrapped up in a game with some solid puzzle-solving. Unfortunately that goodwill is quickly squandered by a poor presentation and a complete failure opportunity to make the most of…
Read MoreRebel Galaxy surprised me by offering a take on the space simulation/RPG genre and bringing it to console in a way that worked well with a controller. With more of an emphasis on action than strategy, the only real flaw – and it is a notable one – is the…
