Spider-Man 2 is a curious entry — the second of three, technically — of Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man offering, merging canon equally as plotting the course of its own orignal work. Things are familiar, yet not.
Super Mario Bros Wonder returns to the portly plumber’s traditional 2D side-scrolling, level-based, roots for the first time in a decade; at least properly. We’ve had re-releases and a double dose of choosing our own adventure in Super Mario Maker, but haven’t had a proper New Super Mario game that...
I’m a huge Star Trek fan, but merely dabble in strategy games — that’s perhaps evident in my review of 2016’s Master of Orion, in which I felt it necessary to liken every instance of the game to my beloved sci-fi franchise.
The Pokémon franchise is so large, there’s a game for literally everything. From Picross to painting to just plain ol’ Pokédex completion, everything has had Pikachu and friends in it – though of them all, one of the most loved by fans is 2018’s Detective Pikachu, a 3DS game so...
Assassin’s Creed Mirage looks to its origins and takes two steps backs to move… backwards.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (2023) video game is out now, and though we did gain review code a few days before release, we weren’t really able to test things out properly until post-launch.
We’re currently in a golden age of unconventional musicals. Fresh off the back of Star Trek‘s first musical episode in franchise history — and coming after that because it moved itself out of the way of Baldur’s Gate 3 — is Stray Gods A Roleplaying Musical from Melbourne’s own Summerfall...
There was a time not too long ago where the only Star Wars content we got were comic books, novels and mountains upon mountains of video games. While a few of them had the shelf life of milk (we’re looking at you Kinect Star Wars), there were some fantastic games...
