Shadow Man Remastered brings back a cult classic – successfully reviving a game that fans have been demanding gets new life for years. I hope they’re happy with what they wished for. In some preliminary research for this game, I took a quick look at some of the original reviews, and was blown away by what I saw. I remember the case, of course. It looked cool and edgy, not unlike the Blade film I’d been too young to watch.…

How To Jump Backwards in Shadow Man Remastered
Shadow Man is back, and with him the age old question of how to beat the game’s true boss: any ledge from which you have to jump backwards. I’m kidding of course. But it is something you eventually have to do, and it’s something that’s not especially well explained. And yes, if you go searching, it won’t take long to find people who complained about this issue in the original release of this game. The good news is that it’s…

Aery – Dreamscape Review
Fly through people’s deepest desires as a bird. And, no, Aery – Dreamscape isn’t an adult game. Because it turns out everybody’s deepest desires are things like “be a pirate”, “visit the moon” or “get out in nature”. Not a single level begins with the phrase “hey, you know that girl from Friends?” Maybe that would have been a better game – its not for me to judge – but it would have been a different game. This one is…

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Review
If you’ve been gaming at all in the last decade, you should have at least heard of Five Nights At Freddy’s. I certainly did, I had never really played them because the idea of a game set in a single room looking at cameras and locking doors didn’t really interest me. However the game series (now on it’s 10th game) has taken the world by storm, from toys to games to clothing it’s all out there. All because of a…

PSVR2 Hasn’t Solved VRs Biggest Problem
The new PSVR2 looks very impressive on paper. Oled screens, 4k, HDR, head vibrations (which isn’t something you brag about unless it’s pretty good). But Sony’s laundry list of features may sound great on paper, but they do absolutely nothing to solve VRs biggest problem: content. And I must stress this isn’t a Sony only issue, In fact, everybody has this problem, and nobody seems overly keen to solve it. VR is a limited market, so nobody wants to create…

2021 Was the Year of Covid – and 2022 Will Be Too
New Years is usually the time when we reflect on the past 12 months. And in the case of 2021 one word sticks out: covid. It influenced our day-to-day lives, our politics, our jobs. It impacted our video games, and it will continue to do so. Sony and Nintendo released so few mainstream games last year, while Microsoft’s biggest title came along after a year’s delay. The already barren first years of the new console generation were about as bad…

Late to the Party, But Minecraft Walt Disney World is Fantastic
Have you wanted to travel to Disney World but the pandemic is limiting your options? Or is the ever increasing ticket prices making the dream vacation a continual dream instead of a reality? Then perhaps you need to grab a 29.99 CAD copy of Minecraft, drop around 13.00 on the Disney World pack, and enjoy the sites of Walt Disney World without the guests!

Lazy PC Ports are Coming Back
There was a time when you felt lucky as a PC gamer if you had any degree of control over a console-to-PC port. If it released the same year as the console version, it was practically Christmas. Then the money started coming in. Steam sales allowed every title to have a tail that lasted months or even years after release. Simply porting your title and giving it some customisability eventually meant you made money. It should have stayed that way,…

What’s In an Engine?
Gamers don’t have to worry about what engine their favourite games run on. Not usually. Not like a few years ago. The engine is like sound or editing – if it’s doing its job, you don’t even really notice it exists. And yet engines are right at the forefront of conversation again thanks to the Matrix interactive trailer released last week. It was mind-bending. I don’t want to take anything away from it, because I still can’t quite get my…
