Video Game Review – Star Trek: Bridge Crew

by

Shaun Munro reviews Star Trek: Bridge Crew… Card-carrying Trekkies and newbies alike should find plenty to enjoy in Red Storm Entertainment’s socially-minded VR jaunt Star Trek: Bridge Crew. Without question one of the most satisfying and nuanced PSVR titles to date, its keen focus on communication-driven co-op multiplayer should ensure it enjoys a healthy online community for the foreseeable […]

Video Game Review – Danger Zone

by

Shaun Munro reviews Danger Zone… Though Burnout fans are still lamenting the series’ unjust demise, a group of former Criterion Games founders have banded together under a new studio, Three Fields Entertainment, to recreate a small sliver of the racing franchise’s most beloved mainstay – Crash Mode.

by

It was recently announced that Spider-Man: Homecoming actor Tom Holland would be lacing up his boots to play a young Nathan Drake in an upcoming movie adaptation based on the Uncharted video game franchise.

Video Game Review – Victor Vran Overkill Edition

by

Scott Watson reviews Victor Vran Overkill Edition… It has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Then again, there’s the flipside too that familiarity breeds contempt. Victor Vran, by Haemimont Games (of Tropico fame), straddles that ever so thin line between both splendidly. An action RPG with a storyline steeped in Grimm’s […]

Critical Thinking: Why Do People Care So Much About Canon?

by

Anghus Houvouras on canon… Movies are such an integral part of the creative experience. As children, when we’re first introduced to the medium, we don’t understand the complexities of cinema. We are simply awed by the amalgamation of vision and sound that brings us stories in a new and exciting way. It is the ultimate […]

Video Game Review – Farpoint

by

Shaun Munro reviews Farpoint… Impulse Gear’s much-anticipated VR shooter Farpoint has been touted as something of a killer app for the PSVR, which though swimming in dozens of titles and “experiences”, has served up few certifiable must-have AAA games so far, the most high-profile being the magnificent Resident Evil 7. Though Capcom’s terrifying VR jaunt remains […]

Video Game Review – Dick Wilde

by

Shaun Munro reviews Dick Wilde… Bolverk Games’ Dick Wilde brings a distinctly Duck Hunt-esque experience to PSVR, and though it’s hardly overflowing with content, Aim controller owners in particular should be easily swayed by the no-nonsense allure of this slick arcade shooter. You are the preposterously-monikered lead character, hired to use your grand arsenal of weaponry to […]
