Yes, the game has its moments where it’s creepy. Yes, one of two of the ghastly lightning flashes made me jump in my seat. And yes, the story was promising at first – until it becomes an obvious end for Dr. Lang and a boring yet remarkably confusing one for...
The Weaponographist is a solid game to play if you’re ever in the mood to dwindle a few minutes or hours off the boring day you’re having. The pick-up-and-play quality, easy-to-understand nature and lightweight gameplay all come together to make The Weaponographist an easy recommend for everyone.
The gameplay mechanics and presentation values in Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today are solid, but the puzzles will frustrate a segment of the audience. Worse yet, the end does not pay off the effort to get there. There is an interesting narrative at play that makes this dark, depressing world...
Given Rockstar’s reputation for creating controversial content with satirical tones and sharp social commentary, it should come as no surprise that GTA V carries all the classic hallmarks of this developer, and does it times better than before. Its graphic content might turn you away, but if you take the...
I struggle to see many people wanting to sit down to play a runner game, however. Yes, it’s had far more effort that’s been put into its presentation than any other example of the genre I can think of, however by its very nature this is a very limited genre,...
Anyone who has fond memories of playing Dungeon Keeper will find War for the Overworld to be a nostalgia trip. It’s not as advanced as it could be at a technical level, but further fixes and updates could lead to an improved experience.

Retro minimalistic titles with great soundtracks and gameplay gimmicks were a fresh breath of air just two years ago, but since then the mobile and download markets have been weighted down with them. While Convoy could easily and mistakenly be wrote off as another ‘clone’, one of the most challenging...
Dialing the difficulty up also provides a real test of anyone’s management abilities. So look past the satirical elements of Tropico 5. The humour is there, and it’s funny, but the real strength of this series – especially with Sim City falling off the map completely in recent years –...
I’m sure that the game is probably going to be fantastic on the PlayStation 4, which we will be reviewing shortly. But as a handheld game on the Vita, it feels too complicated, confused and overall not polished enough. It feels like a console game crammed into a handheld that...
Overall, Blue Estate is a fun little shooter that has a sense of humour, but ends too soon. I did enjoy the game but also did feel that it got a little too repetitive. If you’re a fan of on rail shooters this is sure to please. If not, it...
