Shaun Munro reviews Knack 2… Ignoring Knack‘s status as an enduring Internet meme over the last four years, there were surely few gamers angling for a sequel to 2013’s critically-pounded PS4 launch title, and yet, free from the constraints of a tight production window, Knack II is arguably the year’s most pleasant surprise; an addictive, content-rich platformer […]
Video Game Review – Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 1 ‘Awake’
Shaun Munro reviews Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 1 ‘Awake’… With original Life is Strange developer Dontnod Entertainment sitting out this prequel spin-off, which was instead helmed by Deck Nine (Cool Boarders devs formerly known as Idol Minds), there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical, least of all that this is the […]
Video Game Review – Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 1 ‘The Enigma’
Shaun Munro reviews Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 1 ‘The Enigma’… After Telltale’s first episodic adventure series starring Batman turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag – plagued by rampant technical issues across platforms and some questionable story elements – it’s a pleasure to report that the developer seems to have pulled […]
Video Game Review – Tacoma
Shaun Munro reviews Tacoma… The follow-up to Fullbright’s much-discussed exploration game Gone Home is an effort both ambitious and familiar, a frequently haunting, character-driven sci-fi drama that mostly overcomes its occasional divergences into ennui. Mostly. The year is 2088, and protagonist Amy Ferrier is a technician sent to the titular abandoned space station to retrieve ODIN, a valuable […]

Video Game Review – Theseus
Shaun Munro reviews Theseus… The concept of third-person VR games is still tough for a lot of players to get their heads around, though the likes of PSVR’s Robots Rescue and Wayward Sky have proven just how immersive non-first-person games really can be. As such, Theseus arrives with a heap of curiosity from VR owners looking […]
Video Game Review – Superhot VR
Shaun Munro reviews Superhot VR… Pretty much anyone who’s ever seen The Matrix has surely fantasised about pulling a Neo and bending backwards in slow-motion while performing a gravity-defying bullet dodge, right?

Shaun Munro reviews Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy… After years of fans begging Activision to bring Crash Bandicoot back, they’ve finally done it with the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, a “Remaster Plus” of the original three games, which uses Naughty Dog’s original map geometry but updates the titles with gorgeous new sounds and visuals. Though its old-school […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 10 Review – ‘Somebody to Love’
Shaun Munro reviews the season finale of Fargo season 3… The riveting and occasionally frustrating capper to Fargo‘s divisive third season broached its overarching theme of perception vs. reality (or perhaps more currently, “fake news”) in perfectly ambiguous, Coens-esque fashion, even if in many aspects “Somebody to Love” was a relatively predictable, foregone conclusion to the Stussy […]
