Somehow even bleaker than Danganronpa 1 and 2. And better.

Lost Dimension Review (PS Vita)
Lost Dimension is a modest, fairly original turn based JRPG, but it punches above its weight.

Calm Down Tom | Magicka 2 Review (PS4)
While 2015 might be an incredibly diverse year for games, there’s one place area where games are getting MORE alike. The homogenization of game controls is a strange thing, but over time, we’ve come to accept that X/square is probably reload, cross/A is probably jump, left trigger is probably aim an…

Calm Down Tom | Invisible, Inc. Review (PC)
As genre mashups go, stealth and turn based strategy don’t seem like the most obvious candidates to be smooshed together. Stealth is defined by the tense, breathless moments when a guard walks by while you skulk in the shadows and hope you’re out of sight. Turn based strategy meanwhile is at it’s be…

Calm Down Tom | Shovel Knight Review (PS Vita)
It’s impossible to see Shovel Knight in action and not think of the classic NES platformers that shaped our hobby. There’s an authenticity in the game that’s absent in the pixelated 2D platformers you see flooding the digital marketplaces of the PC and consoles. While most of those games only evoke…

Calm Down Tom | Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Review (PC)
Four years ago I reviewed “The Book of Unwritten Tales” and I was absolutely enthralled. I couldn’t stop playing and didn’t sleep much until I finished it. So you can imagine my reaction when Tom, quite nonchalantly said “Do you want to review “The Book of Unwritten Tales 2”?” I almost screamed “Yes…

Calm Down Tom | Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype Review (PS Vita)
Despite being a perfect platform for shoot em ups, the Vita doesn’t have a great number of them. With a decent d-pad and the horsepower to push some great 2D visuals, it would be the perfect device to fly a space ship through a sea of enemies. While I might dream of a retro remake of R Type or UN Sq…

Calm Down Tom | Shelter 2 Review (PC)
By most accounts the Lynx is a pretty cool animal. It has manga-esque pointy ears, it has an ‘x’ in its name, and it’s a pretty badass at hunting. Why else would the powers at be consider the creature’s reintroduction to the UK? That’s right, in the coming months a public consultation by the newly-f…
