Shaun Munro reviews Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 2 ‘Brave New World’… Though the middle chapter of Life is Strange‘s prequel series doesn’t feel hugely eventful in terms of the story’s bigger picture (and what exactly that is still remains pretty unclear), it does a mostly stellar job of deepening the characters of Chloe […]
Video Game Review – South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Shaun Munro reviews South Park: The Fractured but Whole… After a series of frustrating delays, South Park: The Fractured but Whole is finally here, arriving amid the annual late-year AAA deluge and serving up a refreshing rebuke that’s by turns hilarious, deceptively deep and shamelessly offensive. While it doesn’t quite reach the loony heights of 2014’s […]
Video Game Review – Don’t Knock Twice
Shaun Munro reviews Don’t Knock Twice… Don’t Knock Twice is the most dubious of prospects; a video game based on a recent indie horror film that just about nobody saw (though I did, and reviewed it earlier this year). This adaptation of the mostly-panned Katee Sackhoff-starring movie was originally released for other platforms last month, and […]
Video Game Review – Pankapu
Shaun Munro reviews Pankapu… With more than a dozen new Nintendo Switch games landing on the eShop every week as of late, it can be tough to separate the wheat from the chaff, and moreover, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for retro-style platformers in particular to differentiate themselves in such a crowded market. Pankapu, a love-letter to […]

Leatherface, 2017. Directed by Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury. Starring Finn Jones, Lili Taylor, Nicole Andrews, Stephen Dorff, James Bloor, Vanessa Grasse, Sam Coleman, and Sam Strike.

Video Game Review – The Solus Project
Shaun Munro reviews The Solus Project… Released for PC and Xbox One last year, survival exploration game The Solus Project has finally landed on PS4, complete with full PSVR support, and though it certainly offers players a lengthy experience, the game’s highly un-intuitive mechanics ultimately hold it back from being the VR answer to No Man’s […]
Video Game Review – Radial-G: Racing Revolved
Shaun Munro reviews Radial-G: Racing Revolved… Futuristic racer Radial-G: Racing Revolved will certainly be a tantalising proposition for many PSVR owners, given that the closest they’ve gotten to a VR future-racer to date is playing WipEout: Omega Collection in cinematic mode with the largest possible screen size and the game’s cockpit view selected. Though one would […]
Video Game Review – The Lost Bear
Shaun Munro reviews The Lost Bear… Any successful video game that roots itself in trial-and-error mechanics must do one thing above almost anything else; it must allow the player to quickly return to the action. Would games like Limbo and Trials Fusion be as loved as they are if players had to wait close to 30 […]
Video Game Review – Knack 2
Shaun Munro reviews Knack 2… Ignoring Knack‘s status as an enduring Internet meme over the last four years, there were surely few gamers angling for a sequel to 2013’s critically-pounded PS4 launch title, and yet, free from the constraints of a tight production window, Knack II is arguably the year’s most pleasant surprise; an addictive, content-rich platformer […]
