Jupiter & Mars PSVR Review

By Paul Kampoyris August 12, 2019 | | 0 comments

SET in a world where climate change has already wreaked its havoc, Jupiter & Mars - a pair of neon-bedecked dolphins - must set about using their skills to help out the ocean’s other inhabitants. Think Echo the Dolphin, but in VR and not very good and you’re most of the...

Super Mario Maker 2 Review

By Paul Kampoyris August 07, 2019 | | 0 comments

THE ORIGINAL SUPER MARIO MAKER - on the Wii U, at least - was a delightful surprise. Mario’s platforming gameplay has been pixel-perfect for decades, and the idea of being able to leverage that perfection on levels of your own creation was almost as delectably enticing as the game itself turned...

Nintendo has announced the release date for the highly anticipated Luigi's Mansion 3 and it's just perfect. Luigi's ghoulish new adventure is set to spook small and big kids alike this Halloween (October 31 for those who didn't have a childhood). I was going to terrify the local neighbourhood kids this Halloween, but...

The Race To Have The Biggest Prize Pool In Esports History

By Paul Kampoyris July 24, 2019 | | 0 comments

When Epic Games announced $US30 million ($43 million) in prize money for this July’s Fortnite World Cup, it seemed set to be the largest ever for an esports event. That increasingly looks as though it might no longer end up being the case, thanks to Valve’s Dota 2. The International 2019, the biggest Dota...

By Paul Kampoyris July 20, 2019 | | 0 comments

Today, a pre-recorded Overwatch League video leaked sharing news that Blizzard is apparently implementing role-locking in Overwatch and the Overwatch League. Starting soon, all team compositions in the Overwatch League will consist of two damage-dealers, two supports, and two tanks, explained league staffers in the leaked video. The decision was made because “the more that we can do...

Dauntless Review - A Whole New World PS4 PC

By Paul Kampoyris June 29, 2019 | | 0 comments

Dauntless brims with energy. It's in everything from the exuberant use of color to the larger-than-life Behemoths with cheeky nods to the developer's Canadian roots. Monster Hunter: World's high-realism design almost feels grimdark in comparison to the Shattered Isles' Crayola color scheme of glamors and on-the-nose armor designs. The game has chutzpah, but...

Pathologic 2 Review - The Big Sick PC XONE

By Paul Kampoyris June 24, 2019 | | 0 comments

Twenty-three people died last night. I couldn't do anything about it. Even if I had known how to save them I doubt I'd have been able to succeed. In Pathologic 2--a reimagining of the original Pathologic, itself a nightmarish adventure game from another era--you play a doctor who can barely save himself,...

Blood and Truth Review - On The Move PS4

By Paul Kampoyris June 17, 2019 | | 0 comments

As it's a first-person shooter, it's not hard to imagine Blood and Truth working without VR. But the ways it reinvigorates some of the genre's mechanics also wouldn't be possible without it. Its first-person shooter action is still beholden to some of the inaccuracies and annoyances with PSVR and its less-than-precise tracking....

Mortal Kombat 11 - PC & XONE & PS4 & NS

By Paul Kampoyris May 29, 2019 | Mortal Kombat 11 | 0 comments

The new big bad in Mortal Kombat is named Kronika, and she's causing a ruckus by messing with time and rewriting history. Characters are getting erased or colliding with their past selves, while alliances are reverting and new ones are being made--it's the kind of chaos that's ripe for conflict....
