Clifftop Games’s point-and-click adventure flirts with big ideas, but comes off as a rather direct and self-contained detective yarn… and that’s quite all right.

The 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West has been adapted to all manner of media over the years, but it’s a story that works particularly well in video games. There have been countless adaptions: from Capcom’s 1984 arcade game Son Son, to Ninja Theory’s Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (with many more between). The latest of the is …

In my third year of university I signed up to do a course entitled, “History and Appreciation of Music”. I didn’t particularly want to take the class but I had to make up a missing credit or else I wouldn’t have graduated at the end of the year.
