Kickstarter Spotlight: The Man Who Died Twice – Hardcover Graphic Novel
I grew up devouring comics and playing game books – Fighting Fantasy mostly, but I wasn’t too fussy; I’d read and play pretty much any interactive fiction I could get […]

Product Spotlight: Volutz Charging Cables

Review: Hidden Through Time

Review: Batman: The Telltale Series
Following the remarkable commercial and critical success of the superb 2012 video game adaptation of The Walking Dead (based in the comic book universe rather than that of the TV […]
Review: Sounds of Eden
Back in the early 90s – when I was in my mid-teens – my peer group and I were having our minds expanded by all of the non-mainstream music we were discovering – we started by finding decidedly non-chart friendly alternative rock and electronic music; genres such as industrial for example. We all ended up going in different directions in […]

Mobile Game Review: Darkarta: A Broken Heart’s Quest – Collector’s Edition
Available for iOS, Android (version played) and PC Though hidden object games and visual novels are hugely popular games, particularly among mobile and casual gamers in general, I don’t have a great deal of exposure to either type of game. So it was quite a pleasant surprise when I played Darkarta: A Broken Heart’s Quest on my Android device; the […]
Review: Not Not – A Brain Buster
Available now on: Switch (version played), Android & iOS I’ve always been incredibly quick to inform people when they’ve committed the ultimate sin: using a double negative. Though correction can often be met with bafflement and the offender still going on to use phrases such as ‘I didn’t say nothing’ when they mean the complete opposite, it’s something I’m unable […]
Mobile Game Review: WallBang
Available now on Google Play As I’ve mentioned before in several articles where I’ve taken a look at mobile games, it’s an area which is often maligned and misunderstood. The most popular and well known games – not to mention the games which make their developers an awful lot of money – tend to be ones that are pick up […]
Review: Donut County
I find myself increasingly bored by big scale, so-called triple-A open world collectathons in which the entire experience is diluted by endless icons dotted around gargantuan, intimidating maps. Most of […]

Review: Pac-Man 256
Though it’s been around for some time – having been released in 2015 for Android and iOS – I decided to reacquaint myself with Pac-Man 256 following the 40th birthday of the perenially popular yellow dot-muncher. It’s a superb little game; essentially a Pac-Man meets Crossy Road endless runner (which is no coincidence – Hipster Whale developed both Crossy Road […]
Review: Pinball FX 3 – Universal Monsters Pack DLC
I’ve been a massive fan of Zen Studios’ Pinball FX series ever since it debuted in 2007 on the Xbox 360. Since then, the sequels – Pinball FX 2 and 3 – have had the feel of true pinball platforms, rather than just a small collection of individual, digital tables. Zen have been able to secure some absolutely phenomenal licences, […]
