High Score: The Ace Attorney Series

Philip Pullman, author of the much loved His Dark Materials trilogy, once said, “The public doesn’t know what it wants until it sees what you have to offer”. I’m a firm believer in that. As someone who consumes copious amounts of media on a daily basis (at this stage who isn’t?), I know for a […]

Music Monday: 24/2/2014

Welcome to Music Monday; where we try to break the monotony of your work morning with some bad ass tunes.  Andy Kavanagh

High Score: Oreimo

Things have been pretty epic on High Score lately. A little too grand and overbearing perhaps. It’s not that I don’t want you all leaving this column enthused, energized and ready to take on dragons or the day or whatever it is you’re up against, I just think it’s about time we sat back, took […]

Review: The Last of Us: Left Behind

Left Behind has a lot to live up to. TLOU was a narrative powerhouse and packing the same kind of punch into a 2 hour DLC campaign was never going to be easy. Add to that the fact that anyone opting into Left Behind pretty much already knows how it ends and it might start […]

High Score: Heavy Rain

We’ve written a little about Quantic Dream before here on The Arcade. As studios go, they’re somewhat of a maverick. Headed by the infamously ambitious David Cage, they’ve spent the better part of the last eight years pushing the boundaries of video game storytelling, mostly, for better or worse, by taking cues from the world […]
