Review by Matt S. The Olympics is one of my favourite events when it rolls around every fourth year. It’s an opportunity to get right into sports I don’t normally get to watch, and, with fond memories of the Sydney Olympics back in 2000, I also get a nostalgic rush…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. Bowling is a fun game to play in both real life and in video game from, so I thought this would be a fun game to give a shot. It’s not so bad, though there are better examples of the genre out there, and nothing about…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Most people know what they’re getting in the inevitable Olympic tie-in games. In a bid to give players the chance to experience a whole range of different Olympic events, these tie in games go for breadth rather than depth, and never end up offering a particularly…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. To quote a very interesting and wholly unserious movie that you should probably watch, even if you don’t enjoy it, “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball”. In a lot of cases this statement holds true for our heroes in one of…

Read MoreIt is really quite the tragedy. Even as Mario Golf has slowly worked its way to become Nintendo’s premier party sports game, Mario Tennis has lost a little bit more of its once overwhelming soul with each new edition. The Nintendo 64 Mario Tennis was one of the finest sports…
Read MoreIf you are looking for hands-on action, Football Manager 2016 will likely disappoint, because as the name of the game should indicate, this is all about running a football team, and not running around on the field personally. This is a simulation experience that drills into far greater detail than…
Read MoreI really wanted to like Handball 16. As (as far as I can tell) the first attempt at recreating the sport through the videogame medium, and as a long-suffering fan of the sport (believe me, in Australia it’s as difficult to watch or play the sport as it was previously…
