A couple of hours and several frustrating misdirects into Life is Strange’s finale - tellingly titled Polarised - and I’m a bit worried. A customary but ill-timed sag in the writing and a lack of agency have taken the sheen off episode four&rs

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse Review

The Broken Sword series has always scratched that Indiana Jones itch for me. It’s an itch that I assume most of you adventure-seeking sorts have. The desire to delve deep into medieval conspiracies, to hunt forgotten treasures which contain the subt

[Review] - Zombi

Zombi is a re-release of Ubisoft’s 2012 Nintendo WiiU launch title ‘ZombiU.’ This cockney apocalypse simulator sees the player jaunting around the desolate wasteland that is the undead-riddled streets of London, after it has been ravaged

Life Is Strange Episode Four: Dark Room Review

Life Is Strange Episode Four: Dark Room Review

There are a few convenient parallels between Dark Room and Inside Out, my two cultural outlays from this past week. Both address the inner monologues and daily travails of young women with almost remarkable success. Both are sharply written, addressing we

Technobabylon Review

Technobabylon is the latest point-and-click from ‘Wadjet Eye Games’, the husband and wife team who produced the critically acclaimed and thoroughly excellent ‘Gemini Rue’ and ‘Blackwell’ series. This studio is something

[Review] - Batman Arkham Knight

“This is how it happened. This is how The Batman died” opens Batman: Arkham Knight, Rocksteady's third and final entry into its “Arkham” series of Batman games. After being announced at E3 2014 to massive fanfare, the game whi

Ultra Street Fighter IV Review

2015 has been quite the year for beat-em-ups, it seems. We kick-started the year (pun wholeheartedly intended) with Dead or Alive 5 Last Round blasting onto next-gen, and just as pulses were beginning to settle (and blood returning to the rest of the

The Witcher 3 Review

When The Witcher launched in 2007 from then (to Western fans) relatively unknown company CD Projekt Red, many in the west had no idea what to expect from this new RPG experience. Here was a brand new RPG series set in a fantasy world (modeled after The Wi

Life Is Strange Episode Three: Chaos Theory Review

If episode two of Life is Strange showed what games stand to gain from the episodic format, the third deals with a familiar problem: the mid-season lull. With the plot established and time travel puzzling shorn of its novelty value, the greater part of ep

Neverwinter Review

When the massively multiplayer online PC game Neverwinter was announced for consoles, it left a lot of fans and gamers excited and wanting to know more. Neverwinters combat oriented gameplay had always had an heir about it that made you think “What

Mortal Kombat X Review

Mortal Kombat is one of those game series that almost everyone is at least moderately aware of. It's infamous for being pretty much the reason that the ESRB exists today due to it's violent and gory combat. Love it or hate it, it's also always been

Shovel Knight Review

“Retro” is the new black of gaming. Whilst the Triple A publishers push constantly for bland realism in a seemingly never ending cycle of gaming repetition under the label of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, the Indie

Game of Thrones Episode 3: The Sword in the Darkness

After an amazing start to Telltale's Game of Thrones episodic series with Episode One: Iron From Ice, Telltale stumbled a bit with the second act The Lost Lords. Does Episode Three: The Sword in the Darkness make up for the mis-adventure of Epis

Life Is Strange Episode Two: Out of Time Review

Episodic games are an interesting evolution. If you’re being cynical, they're a legitimisation of the ‘early access’ format: a way to secure investment based on a glorified demo of a game, with a larger windfall when all the chapter

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Review

Despite what games like Call of Duty may have you believe, war is hell – it isn't pretty, it isn't exciting. At its core, it is mass murder that tears families and nations apart from within. A ballsy opening statement, perhaps, but it's something th
