‘Crystal Crisis’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Phil Wheat

Crystal Crisis is a cute and chaotic new color-matching combat game presented like a one-on-one fighting game, but instead of pressing buttons to kick and punch, players arrange falling gems into matching colors to clear them from the screen and inflict damage on their opponents. Yes, this is Nicalis’ version of Super Puzzle Fighter II […]

‘The Sinking City’ Review (PS4)

by Chris Cummings

Lovecraftian video games based on the mythology of Cthulhu aren’t anything new, with the concept finding it’s way into our video games market with the likes of Call of Cthulhu and Cthulhu Saves the World, among many others, some very well received, others not so much.

If you asked a room full of serious board gamers what the best game ever made would be, it might surprise you to know that not a single one of them would say Monopoly. Instead, you’d hear a few Pandemic’s, a couple of Terra Mystica’s and maybe, just maybe the odd Great Western Trail. Great […]
