Madden NFL 16
Ever since Madden NFL 25 dropped a couple of years ago, EA Sports beloved pigskin game has been on the upswing. This isn’t to say Madden 25 was awful, it was anything but, rather it left a lot of room for improvement and wasn’t exactly a smashing debut on the...
Until Dawn
How do you define a game? How do you define entertainment? Can they be defined? In recent years, the lines between games and other media forms have become increasingly blurry – Until Dawn obliterates the line entirely. It’s a master class in combining art forms – a truly interactive thriller...
Zombi
It seems like ages ago I hunkered down to play Ubisoft’s ZombiU on Nintendo’s Wii U console. At the time, I was impressed with some of its innovations and how it utilized the Wii U’s GamePad. All in all, it was a decent mature rated game for early Wii U...
In Curses ‘n Chaos, you must fight through the hordes who seek to extinguish your life, thanks to a curse that was placed on the protagonists, Lea and Leo. Fortunately, they aren’t alone. In Tribute Games’ latest endeavour, they opted for a different take on the couch co-op/beat-em-up titles many...
The Swindle
Sometimes when you play a game, you’re left wanting more. It was good, but not quite what it could have been. Maybe one of the core mechanics didn’t feel right or some of the level design was underwhelming but whatever the reason, you’re not satisfied. Unfortunately this is the case...
F1 2015
Codemasters has the licence to one of the most, if not the most, coveted racing series in the world – F1. They have held that licence for several years and it is one that throws a big spotlight on their games. F1 fans are passionate and with such passion comes...
Based on the animated series and its manga, Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment moves from its PlayStation Vita origins to the PlayStation 4 console. I often walk into handheld ports with a sceptical outlook, given that generally speaking I feel that handheld ports often don’t translate well because they...
Onechanbara Z2: Chaos is the third game in the Onechanbara series that has made its way to North American shores with the other eight only being released in Japan or Europe. With a total of eleven games that have been released over the past decade, Onechanbara has done pretty well...
Want to roleplay as a the lone human girl in a city full of would be suitors? What if all those suitors were birds? No, I’m not talking about someone’s freaky weekend fantasy, I’m talking about Hatoful Boyfriend – the weirdest damn thing I’ve ever played.
Over the past few years, many games have received the HD treatment. It’s a trend that continues with big titles like Final Fantasy VII and Gears of War, so it was a bit confusing to hear that Legend of Kay for the PS2 was being redone and re-released on current...
Rare Replay
Celebration is part of why Rare Replay exists. Even before the gaming industry became a multimillion-dollar battleground where five million copies sold can be considered a “failure”, many studios were periodically kicked to the curb. From 38 Studios to Zipper Interactive, Bullfrog to Eurocom, the fact that Rare has managed...
Sorcerer King
This 4X turn-based strategy game from Stardock is a creatively unique newcomer to the genre. Sorcerer King has all of the bells and whistles you would expect from a good TBS, but it also plays like an RPG. Much like in many others in the genre, you are tasked with...
