Mortal Kombat (2011) – Review

As the most violent Mortal Kombat game to date arrived (hey, the competition is tough nowadays), we’ve asked ourselves if the violence really was the key to the franchise’s popularity and survival. It wasn’t. MORTAL KOMBAT (2011) is a videogame

A sincere thrill ride: a review of Battlefield 3’s single player campaign

“The most realistic shooter yet.” This line from an early review has been heavily quoted in EA’s aggressive marketing campaign for Battlefield 3. It’s absolute nonsense. BF3’s single-player campaign belongs squarely in what I like to call the “theme park

Orcs Must Die Review

I have mixed feelings on the tower defense genre. Traditionally they take place from a perspective set way up in the sky with a path for mobs to travel, and the player can ring that path with towers of various

An Experimental Journey – A Closed World Review

Contains extremely (!!!) heavy narrative spoilers for A Closed World. ——————– The portrayal of deviators from the sexual norm in the realm of video games is rarely a flattering one. Either they’re stereotypically fabulous, or they’re sexually dominating in some
