Video Game Review – The Hong Kong Massacre
Shaun Munro reviews The Hong Kong Massacre…Hotline Miami just had a baby with Max Payne, and its name is The Hong Kong Massacre. While this top-down, blood-soaked strategic actioner doesn’t do a whole lot new, it does succeed as an addictive, pulse-quickening stab at familiar material.As with Hotline Miami, players are thrown into small(ish) self-contained levels within which […]

Video Game Review – Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Shaun Munro reviews Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown…First things first – Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is my first experience with the hit combat flight franchise, and a game I was mostly drawn to because of Bandai Namco’s decision to include PSVR support. As a first-time flyer, my time with it will likely differ somewhat to that of […]
