Game Reviews

Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder Devastated is like a free flash game from five years ago. The premise is simple: you are a military commander in charge of a tank. You fire at waves of enemies...

Namco Bandai has always been great at adapting anime into worthwhile video games, with games like the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series, One Piece Burning Blood, and all of the various Dragon Ball series over the...

Turmoil, the oil-rigging strategy sim from developer Gamious, became an underground hit when it was first released on Steam. Because of that, the developers knew that they had struck gold - or, oil if you...

Now I remember 2006 like it was 12 years ago because it was. Man, I feel old. The 7th generation of gaming had begun and there was a lacklustre amount of new games on the...

Octahedron is an epileptic orgy of sights, sounds, and tightly designed platforming. Within seconds, its visual style and effects work make a strong impression. The core gameplay requires no time to understand. You can jump with...

With Hazelight we aim to take our craft further, and push the boundaries for interactive storytelling and engaging emotional experiences. So far we've only just scratched the surface.  Thus reads a preface underneath the "Games"...

Back in 2007, there was a shift in the FPS genre and many games released felt uninspiring and weak in execution. I reviewed one of my favourites that came out a year prior, Prey is...

I so much wanted to enjoy Super Toy Cars. I really like kart racers and love the idea of virtually racing toy cars  just like the real ones you can buy in real size at...

There's no denying Recore's messy launch. Its various documented technical issues across Xbox One and PC were signs of a game that launched at least six months too early. The original release even alluded to...

The PlayStation has its fair share of iconic heroes; Kratos, Aloy, Nathan Drake, Ratchet & Clank, and plenty more. However, there's been one character that has slowly become an icon in a way on PlayStation...

I usually don’t like racing games. “What a bold admission for an opening statement of a RACING GAME REVIEW” is likely a forthcoming retort, and you’re right. However, through some luck and a series of...

As someone who is new to the universe of Fear Effect, it looks like a creative world that has a lot of potential with potentially solid characters and potentially strong female leads. Fear Effect Sedna...

I love Resident Evil, if Resident Evil was a dude I would have a mad "man crush" on him. I've beaten all the numbered titles in the franchise and a majority of the spin-offs, except...

Deck Nine, formerly known as Idol Minds, is a Colorado-based development studio founded in 1997. Their most notable titles of the last decade or so include Pain, an early PSN game, and the PlayStation 3 version...

Many years ago, corridor shooters were top of the FPS genre. These inventive and insightful shooters often exploited sci-fi, horror, and fantasy to deliver some impressive and highly engaging games. Duke Nukem, Doom, Perfect Dark...

It seems like platformers are a dime-a-dozen these days, and I've definitely played my fair share over the last couple of years. Blackhole: Complete Edition is a fairly charming little platformer though that came out...

Bio Inc: Redemption by DryGin Studios is one of the strangest, most interesting, somewhat disturbing games I’ve ever played.  It is a medical simulation game where you choose a side, Life or Death. If you...

Three minutes with Super Hydorah is enough to make you feel like you've stepped back into the 80's - an era defined by classic shoot 'em ups like Gradius and R-Type. Super Hydorah takes you...

I’m gonna start this off by making a pretty broad assumption… very few of you reading this have ever played Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler, right? Considering the game seems to have sold less than half...

Kailan: I find the nature of writing reviews of multiplayer games a conflicting presence. I can tell you how I found the game solo, I can spin you tales of my interactions with others and I...

The Legend of Heroes series is one of my favorite RPG series in recent years. Nihon Falcom’s attention to detail and the interweaving stories of the protagonists and NPC’s always scratches the itch for a...

There’s nothing more gamers love than battling zombies, even if the famous monster has become a tired trend in every media. Even in gaming, zombies feel overly used as an enemy type but often enough,...

To an extent, every game wants to be Zelda. Every game wants to be that game that taps into a gamer's sense of adventure with a huge, sprawling world with puzzles to solve and bosses...

I am a pretty big fan of David Cage and his style of games, Heavy Rain was one of my favorite games from the last generation, and I'm very excited for his next title Detroit....

One of the perks of being an editor/writer for a gaming publication is you sometimes come across little gems that otherwise would have eluded your radar entirely. These little gems are not AAA titles backed...

Splinter Cell is one of those series you either love or hate. You’re either a Metal Gear Solid person or a Splinter Cell person. Pretty much like being a cat or Dog person! Now I’m...
