Version Played: Xbox One – Also available on: Android, iOS, PS4, Switch, PC, Mac I hadn’t heard of Storm Boy before coming across the video game adaptation in an Xbox One sale, but the Australian novel it’s based on has been a perenially popular childrens book since its publication in 1966. It’s been adapted into a film twice – once […]
Readers, this week has been a monumental week for me on Game Pass. Why is that? Well, let’s find out… The Witcher III Yep, this is exactly why. Having been made available on Game Pass a short while ago – and with the Henry Cavill-starring Netflix series causing serious thirst around the world – I finally got a chance to […]
As if mid-January isn’t depressing enough, it seemed that almost every video game related piece of news we’ve received recently has been a bit of a downer. First up: we […]
Out: Now – Price: £1.79/$1.99 – Nintendo Switch A strange but oddly compelling little game, Roll’d dumps you into proceedings without telling you anything at all – your little character running along a pathway for…reasons. It takes a few seconds – and a few failures – to truly grasp what’s going on. You don’t control the character at all; in […]
As regular readers will know – particularly those of you who read the blog over the Christmas period – I’m a big fan of board games, especially those that come in small packages with playing time to match. Little Battle is another very small game with very few components – suitable for players of all ages – that has a […]
Though Jurassic World: Evolution is still taking up most of my gaming time – though how long that’ll last I’m not sure, given that the late stages of the game […]
Version Played: Switch – Out Now – Price £8.99/$9.99 – Published by: Ultimate Games SA I always think that developers make their lives so much harder for themselves when creating […]
Version Played: Xbox One – Developed and Published by: GrimTalin SRL I reviewed the original edition of The Adventures of Elena Temple on Switch last year. I found it to […]
There’s a cute concept at the heart of The Muddles; players try to create ‘Muddles’ – funny little hybrids of two animals – in an effort to score the most points by the end of the game. The cards have amusing, simple and childlike illustrations, along with humorous names for the Muddles themselves. The problem is that there’s very little […]
It’s been a while since I last covered the games that I’ve been playing on Game Pass; it’s a service that has become absolutely essential for me. I’m often unable to justify spending the full RRP on games, given my limited budget, but Game Pass removes that barrier for many big games; crucially, they’re also available on the same day […]
Version Played: Switch – Out Now – Price: £7.99/$7.99 I hadn’t heard of or played the first Devious Dungeon game when I happened upon the second; however, it does seem […]
I realise that I’m very late to the party with this one but – having spent most of 2019 covering indie and retro games – I’ve realised that I hadn’t […]
I’ve played a huge number of games over the past decade – let alone over the last four decades – and consequently, it’s always really hard to narrow down my […]
A phrase I can be heard muttering to myself quite often on the commute home from work, Bloody Trains is another game from indie developer and purveyor of very odd experiences, Marginal Act. I’ve looked at two of their games before – baffling tea delivery simulator TUTUTUTU Tea Party and Vasilis. The former seems to share quite a lot of […]
Out now – Version Played: Switch (£12.99/$15) Let’s get one thing out of the way: Electronic Super Joy is nuts. Each of its four different modes of platform-based jumping, stomping […]
Thanks to December’s Games with Gold freebies, I have finally downloaded and played Jurassic Park: Evolution. I may be a little addicted already… Review scores weren’t particularly high, so I […]
