If you fall in love with the main loop and the freedom to design and interact with your followers, then you can expect to take at least 30 fun hours out of it, but don’t go in there expecting anything innovative in either the rouge-like or management-sim departments.

Digimon Survive goes against the grain by being essentially four parts visual novel and one part tactical RPG, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. The compelling story is the real standout here, which is complemented nicely by the enjoyable, if fairly basic, tactical combat system. If you can...

Quibbles aside, This HD-2D is the best way to enjoy Live A Live, and has come a long way from the original SNES version - it feels like how the game would’ve been made had the means existed at the time. Both the English and Japanese voice talents lift the...

Hell Pie isn't the funniest game around but it really doesn't need to be, because its solid gameplay and fantastically disgusting world is more than enough to carry its not-so-lovable hero through the duration of this not-so-family-friendly adventure.

The classics are looking and feeling better than ever.

Summer camp is over at Hackett's Quarry, but 9 counsellors must stay behind an extra night due to a broken-down vehicle. Your choices and reflexes will dictate who lives and who dies in Supermassive's homage to Friday the 13th and other classic slasher movies of the past.

However, despite its few drawbacks, it's a near-perfect tribute to Sam Raimi's creation as the game is groovy fun whether you play as a survivor or a demon. It has a great foundation so here's hoping Saber Interactive keeps us coming back with plenty of post-launch updates.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a unique concoction of the classic Borderlands formula mixed with a Dungeons & Dragons experience all in one package. The relatively small core voice cast and charming story will keep you captivated as you take down hordes of enemies with your guns and magic in the...
