Operation: Tango is a co-op puzzle-solving game for two players. Choosing to play as either the Agent or Hacker, two players take on the role of a secret agent just like in the movies. One person in the field and the other ‘the man behind the screen’ – who could...
Well, this has been a long time coming. Pokémon Snap for the N64 was a hit that nobody expected, and has been a beloved fan favourite since 1999. Its premise was simple, its execution smooth (well, smooth for the N64). And ever since then, Pokemon fans have been begging Nintendo...
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV has been out in the West since 2020, but only on PS4. I imagine that most Trails fans will have purchased the game without delay on PS4, having had to wait for 2 years for its localisation. If you’re looking to...
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a strange case. Although it released to generally positive reviews in 2010, its claim to fame has more to do with its disappearance from storefronts than any award or achievement. Generally believed to be a case of an expired license, it was...
My relationship to the written works of George Orwell is, like many other Australians my age, “those depressing books they made us read in high school”. Sure, I respected the ideas behind his novels even then, but I simply had no interest in engaging with Animal Farm when I had...
The success of the first Hyrule Warriors game, released in 2014 on the WiiU, was somewhat unexpected. It was a completely different genre than the series standard, and seemed to be a celebration of the Legend of Zelda series as a whole. It was a game for the fans, and...
Curiosity about Bugsnax has been buzzing around ever since its launch trailer back in June. With a catchy as hell theme song and a really weird premise, it’s the sort of trailer that makes you feel like you have to know what it’s all about. Well, it’s finally time to...
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a Japanese adventure title developed by Vanillaware and published by Atlus. It’s a weird mix of side-scrolling adventure narrative and real-time strategy, and was initially released to Japanese audiences in November of 2019. Its strange combination of genres made for low sales on opening weekend,...
The Crusader Kings series has been around since 2004, developed and produced by Paradox. Despite its initially average reception, the series has since grown into its niche and is now known as one of the most hardcore kingdom management experiences on the market. Paradox Development Studio is known for their...
No Straight Roads feels nostalgic in a way that’s hard to describe. There’s something about it that screams ‘2002 action game’. It might be the chunky character design and over the top animations, or maybe it’s the unapologetically loud colours and jaunty music that makes the game feel like a...
It’s not very often that Melbournians are treated to a video game set in their own city. We’re used to settings all over the world, but I guess nobody thinks of Australia’s urban centres as a good backdrop to a story. So it stands to reason that the job fell...
Animal Crossing is one of those series that’s hard to describe. I mean, it’s a game that consists of wandering around a small map while collecting fish and bugs to pay off your home loan. Trying to explain why it’s so fun to others can be hard. Animal Crossing is...
