Shaun Munro reviews Don’t Knock Twice… Don’t Knock Twice is the most dubious of prospects; a video game based on a recent indie horror film that just about nobody saw (though I did, and reviewed it earlier this year). This adaptation of the mostly-panned Katee Sackhoff-starring movie was originally released for other platforms last month, and […]
Toronto After Dark Film Festival Review – The Villainess (2017)

Video Game Review – Pankapu
Shaun Munro reviews Pankapu… With more than a dozen new Nintendo Switch games landing on the eShop every week as of late, it can be tough to separate the wheat from the chaff, and moreover, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for retro-style platformers in particular to differentiate themselves in such a crowded market. Pankapu, a love-letter to […]
Video Game Review – The Solus Project
Shaun Munro reviews The Solus Project… Released for PC and Xbox One last year, survival exploration game The Solus Project has finally landed on PS4, complete with full PSVR support, and though it certainly offers players a lengthy experience, the game’s highly un-intuitive mechanics ultimately hold it back from being the VR answer to No Man’s […]
Video Game Review – Radial-G: Racing Revolved
Shaun Munro reviews Radial-G: Racing Revolved… Futuristic racer Radial-G: Racing Revolved will certainly be a tantalising proposition for many PSVR owners, given that the closest they’ve gotten to a VR future-racer to date is playing WipEout: Omega Collection in cinematic mode with the largest possible screen size and the game’s cockpit view selected. Though one would […]
Video Game Review – The Lost Bear
Shaun Munro reviews The Lost Bear… Any successful video game that roots itself in trial-and-error mechanics must do one thing above almost anything else; it must allow the player to quickly return to the action. Would games like Limbo and Trials Fusion be as loved as they are if players had to wait close to 30 […]
Video Game Review – Knack 2
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 […]
