There’s nothing quite like the feeling of landing a particularly intricate combo at just the right time in a Street Fighter IV match. The further advancements the series makes to the core formula, the more complex fights get and the better the player you are, the deeper you get into the ins and outs of […]

The Walking Dead – Season Two Episode Four: Amid the Ruins Review
There’s no point in sugar-coating this review. Episode four of the current season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead is one hell of a ride. It’s tightly packed in a three hour blow to blow action block that not only ramps up the tension to even higher levels, after the already insane events of the previous […]
The Wolf Among Us – Episode 4: In Sheep’s Clothing Review
We’re finally closing in on a resolution to The Wolf Among Us. While Episode 4 throws out a boat ton of answers, it lifts and spins a Titanic load of questions for good measure. Oh, and a pretty awesome fight too. Even with Bigsby on the mend after his beating in the hands of Bloody […]
State of Decay: Breakdown Review
State of Decay was hands down one of 2013’s biggest surprises, an unassuming indie game that trotted on the familiar, but uniquely featured open world setting of the zombie apocalypse. Its newest piece of downloadable content, title Breakdown doesn’t bring anything particularly new to the core game. Instead of reinventing State of Decay, Breakdown removes […]
DuckTales Remastered Review
Ah, DuckTales. A huge part of some of the 1980s/early 1990s babies and certainly a part of mine. The videogame adaptation handled by Capcom for the NES is still considered by many one of the best platformers ever. Twenty something years later, it’s getting a high resolution remake, complete with voice acting from the original […]
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Review
Growing up, I never got along with my brother. Even now, as adults, we hardly ever connect. In a way, our personalities are just not compatible. So every time I see any sort of sibling interaction in any medium or even in person, meeting someone, I always get a tinge of envy. Mostly because I’ve […]
First Impressions – State of Decay
At first glance, State of Decay might look like a wild life survival game. Okay, that would be the case if it weren’t for the hordes of zombies, the piles of half-eaten dead bodies and trails of blood everywhere, that is. Even though the subject matter has more than been beaten to oblivious and treaded […]
Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine Review
In the process in reviewing Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine, I was unable to finish it. The final levels proved too difficult. I spent hours trying to finish just one of those last stages only to fail every time just on the cusp of victory. I had reached my limit; it was devastating. But also […]
Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien Review
Bit.Trip Presents… Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is the lost episode of the Bit.Trip series. It details the events that took place between Bit.Trip Runner and Bit.Trip Fate, wherein protagonist CommanderVideo is transported to another dimension – the third dimension. Yes, the series has moved to the present, discarding the endearing retro-aesthetic of […]
Dollar Dash Review
An exceedingly fun, colourful menagerie of cartoonish robbery, Dollar Dash reminds me of the old independent games you find on CDs at convenience store for two dollars. However, instead of 3 level tiers and jerky controls, Dollar Dash is a vivid, smoothly run piece of social fun. The game has no fleshed out plot: you’re […]
