Video Game, Board Game, Comic Book & Movie Reviews – and more!
It’s not often that a game’s press release is brought to my attention and immediately grabs me with such a striking and instantly appealing visual style, but Chains of Fury has done just that. With a comic book style that looks incredibly close to the aesthetic of artists such as Mike Mignola – clean, colourful and with great, copius use […]
I’d intended for this article to be published earlier this week, but it became clear when I was some way through my piece that I’d be better off repurposing it […]
If nothing else, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 demonstrates right from the beginning how far Marvel characters have come in terms of general pop culture awareness since the first game came […]
Out now on Switch (£20.29/$24.99) I’m not sure what I expected when I played Goonya Fighter for the first time; going in blind, except for seeing screenshots, I had no […]
I’m a little late to the party on this one, considering it was the Dreamcast’s 20th birthday yesterday. Many people took the time yesterday to share memories of their favourite […]
Laser tag – in big ‘arenas’ – was quite a big thing when I was a teenager. Big, warehouse type spaces were kitted out with moody, ultraviolet lighting and appropriately […]
Mr Blaster – Out now on Switch ($1.99/£1.79) – Published by Forever Entertainment I first encountered the turn-based chaos of Worms way back in the mid-90s on the PlayStation and […]
Somewhat improbably, the Just Dance series – which has seen phenomenal success in the decade since the first game was released – has its origins in a rhythm minigame featured in Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party for the Wii (thanks, Wikipedia!).

In my quest for super cheap, hidden gems for the Wii, I came across Emergency Heroes, which I’d never heard of before. For the princely sum of £1, why not give it a go? Early signs are promising. There’s some great anime-inspired character, vehicle and city design; the visuals are bold, bright and colourful too. The city and vehicles have […]
Demolition Crew – Out Now on Nintendo Switch ($2.00/£2.00) – by xirBX Though the developer was aiming to evoke the NES with Demolition Crew, it has a bold and bright […]
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur C. Clarke Though connecting consoles is hardly impressive these days – especially when you can even play multiplayer games cross-platform, across computers and consoles from different manufacturers – there was a time when it felt like magic. Though the Wii and DS could link up and share information or unlock […]
Another day, another Wii retrospective. Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is a real oddity; a game that comes with an ‘Official Movie Merchandise’ logo both in-game and on the box, but, […]
With the Switch, Nintendo have a console that has incredibly healthy indie support; though there’s definitely some terribly cynical cash grabs for sale on the eShop, there’s also a huge […]
