The Best of E3

Posted 2:04pm Sunday 5th July 2015 by Brandon Johnstone

Acouple of weeks ago, the video game convention juggernaut E3, or “Electronic Entertainment Expo” came and went, leaving gamers all over the globe squealing at their computer screens (or in person if they were lucky/rich enough to be at the convention). Essentially, E3 is a huge Read more...

Killing Floor 2

Posted 1:05pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Isaac Yu

Rating: 4/5 Much like the Targaryens, every time a game comes out on Steam’s Early Access, the gods flip a coin to determine whether it will be a success or doomed to fail. For every Minecraft, we have dozens of titles that remain stuck in development hell, and therefore you should be Read more...

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD

Posted 2:10pm Sunday 17th May 2015 by Jaxon Langley

Rating 3/5 Final Fantasy Type-0 was first unveiled at E3 in 2006, then finally released in Japan in 2011. Final Fantasy fans have been begging for a Western release of Type-0 ever since. Now, almost 4 years later — after much demand that director Hajime Tabata Read more...

Cities: Skylines

Posted 1:51pm Sunday 10th May 2015 by Carl Dingwall

Rating: 5/5 Do you remember Sim City? What used to be the great in-depth city builder was reduced to a disappointing, digital-rights-management-infested mess last year with the release of the series’ reboot. Long-time fans of the series were left behind as the late Maxis, which was shut Read more...

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Posted 2:08pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Cheyanne Intemann

Rating: 4/5 The Monster Hunter series is unlike any other; the games are pretty much a genre unto themselves. When you pick up Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, or MH4U, you’re going to be pitted against some of the most interesting, intimidating monsters you’ve ever seen — and Read more...

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

Posted 1:38pm Sunday 26th April 2015 by Lachlan Scown

Rating: 4/5 Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is the grittier, more violent successor to the 2013 indie hit, Hotline Miami. Developed by Swedish independent duo, Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin, of Dennaton Games, the game focuses on thirteen different characters over six acts. If you Read more...

Rune Factory 4

Posted 2:53pm Sunday 19th April 2015 by Bridget Vosburgh

Rating: 4/5 Rune Factory 4 is a Nintendo eShop-only release in New Zealand. Up until this instalment, the Rune Factory games were subtitled with “A Fantasy Harvest Moon”, as the series is a Harvest Moon spin-off. In the Harvest Moon games you run a farm while repeatedly giving gifts Read more...

InFamous: First Light

Posted 2:51pm Sunday 12th April 2015 by Brandon Johnstone

Rating: 2/5 InFamous: First Light is presented in an odd format. A tie-in to the larger title, InFamous: Second Son, and available for download and use without the player having to own the primary title, it’s not quite its own game yet it’s more than just a piece of downloadable content Read more...

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D

Posted 3:11pm Sunday 29th March 2015 by Basti Menkes

When The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in 1998, it was hailed by many as a masterpiece. Seventeen years later, it still regularly tops Best Video Games Of All Time polls. It has the same cultural legacy and enduring appeal in the world of video games as the original Star Wars movie Read more...

Dying Light

Posted 5:43pm Sunday 22nd March 2015 by Isaac Yu

Rating: 4/5 Much like fresher flu, zombies are hard to escape at the moment. Books, movies, TV shows, games: Dying Light is the latest triple-A attempt to cash in on the zombie craze following the giant let-down that was Dead Island. Made by the same developer, Techland, Dying Light takes Read more...
