(Review and general talk about Interactivity)

Phil & Ed love interesting games – and this novel-to-game triptych is not the usual run of the mill.

Score: 6.5/10

Ed: So we have to just face the fact bullet. We’re going to make a game [Augment Me] that is a quest. With side quests. A game for people in their twenties.

If you know of a cheap (under A$25) game that we can review, let us know below.
