    How does one start reviewing a game that pretty much everyone on the entire internet has been playing? It's a bit like reviewing a new version of draughts, "new shiny board, doubles as shaving mirror!" or chess even, "co... Read Full Review

    Fantastically different, truly overlooked action/RPG classic.

    Strife: Trust no one

    Fantastically different, truly overlooked action/RPG classic.

    Strife may be getting on a bit these days, it’s nearly 10 years old, and in many ways is very dated. Don’t let this put you off though, this underdog is still very much worth playing. The story for Strife is nothing i... Read Full Review

    A gorgeous haemorrhage of colours and fantastic 2D animation, best fighter on the DS hands down.

    Bleach DS 2nd: Kokui Hirameku Requiem

    A gorgeous haemorrhage of colours and fantastic 2D animation, best fighter on the DS hands down.

    I'm sure some of you will scream at me for this, but this is my first venture into the world of Bleach. Don't start, come on, I know my anime. It's just one of these shows that has just never appealed to me, along with N... Read Full Review

    Tornado has good intentions and classic elements but ultimately forgot to include the most important part of life. Fun.

    Tornado

    Tornado has good intentions and classic elements but ultimately forgot to include the most important part of life. Fun.

    Eat, sex, defecate, sleep, repeat. The cycle of life in fairly simple stages. Clearly these activities have been translated many a time before into interactive gaming. Well, maybe not so much the defecation but the rest,... Read Full Review

    Devil Survivor is an excellent tactical RPG but is not without a few hiccups.

    Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) titles have quite the reputation: demons, angels, science, religion, deep character and story development and oh yes, being unapologetically difficult. Devil Survivor not only manages to squeeze ... Read Full Review

    First impressions are promising, but Rocket Knight never lives up to its heritage choosing to strip back not innovate.

    Storytelling has come a long way since painting in caves and it's slightly giddying for it to reach this evolution.
