EGX Rezzed Preview: The ARC
April 2, 2014 | ShaxsterSupposedly inspired by recent platformers such as Rayman Origins or Super Meat Boy, The ARC is a sphere-based puzzle game. The premise is somewhat ridiculous (you’re inserted into a virtual reality to save your boyfriend, I think?), but the gameplay … Read More
EGX Rezzed Preview: Narcissus
April 2, 2014 | ShaxsterNarcissus is an utterly genius iPad and PC platformer, where each level has two characters: one on each side of the screen. They are reflections of each other: one is facing you, and the other is walking upside down (unless you walk over to the other side of the iPad, where he’ll be facing up). The controls are beautifully simple: tap the top half of the screen to make the top character jump; and the bottom half to make the bottom character jump. Sounds straightforward? It’s anything but.

REVIEW: Rayman Legends (Next Gen Update)
March 31, 2014 | ShaxsterWhen I first played Rayman Legends on the Wii U almost a year ago, I knew it was going to be brilliant.

THEATRE REVIEW: Analog.Ue
March 27, 2014 | ShaxsterDaniel Kitson has a reputation as one of the best (if slightly obscure) comedians in the country. He refuses to go along with what everyone else does, shunning social media, panel shows and arena tours in favour of small, intimate performances, announced with little fanfare. With Analog.Ue, he goes a step further: here, we have a show where Kitson remains silent for the entire duration. 95 minutes of a prerecorded performance, played out using 46 analogue tape machines. Sounds strange? It certainly is – but that doesn’t stop it from being excellent. Read More

Saul Goodman is REAL!
March 10, 2014 | ShaxsterYup, this is an advertisement for a real lawyer. Not just a criminal defence lawyer, but a criminal defence lawyer, if you know what I mean.
REVIEW: South Park: The Stick of Truth
March 4, 2014 | Shaxster 23It’s not uncommon for an RPG to have a variety of playable classes. Wizard, Paladin, Brute…the list goes on. South Park: The Stick of Truth draws heavily on RPG heritage, and thus it has four classes of its own. Fighters: … Read More
