Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z
26/3/2014
When I first heard of 'Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z', I didn't think much of the announcement. In fact, I probably uttered "meh" and then went onto gush about one of the more heavily-marketed games, like Titanfall. Now that I've actually played the finished game, I'm happy to say despite...

Rabbids Big Bang (Mobile)
15/5/2014
Ubisoft's Rabbids have proved themselves an important part of gaming with their history of light-hearted and nonsensical games. Far too often we forget that games don't always have to be serious, and I've often gravitated towards Rabbids games to kill some time and have a...

The best thing about Angry Birds is that it inspires people to make games that normally wouldn't even think to make. The lack of logic that goes into birds being shot via sling shot doesn't even comprehend why Doctor Rocket...
