Comic Book Review: Primordial #2
In my review of the first issue of Primordial, I noted just how mindblowing the artwork was — and it’s no less so in this second issue. There’s a realism […]

A Trail of Ooze is a point and click adventure that’s currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, with a beautifully appealing, hand-drawn visual style and a sense of humour that’s billed […]
TTRPG Review: Alone Among the Stars
Though I’ve had an interest in tabletop roleplaying games since discovering D&D in the early 80s, I’ve not played as many as I would have liked to. It’s even more […]
Comic Book Review: The Adventures of Pup & Grumpicorn

TV Review: We Are The Champions
As someone who’s never been into traditional competitive sports, less mainstream types of competition really appeal to me. What I love about Netflix’s We Are The Champions is that it […]
Preview: Tale of a Wolf
I’m forever impressed by the drive, ambition and talent that indie developers constantly demonstrate – which proves that huge budgets and equally sizable teams are far from a guarantee that […]
Kickstarter: HoverGrease
I’m always impressed by the ingenuity, tenacity and general inventiveness of small indie teams. HoverGrease – which is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter – is, almost unbelievably, the work of a two person team, Altergaze. Having already been in development for two and a half years, the team need some assistance to get the game over the finish line. The […]
Kickstarter: Neko Ghost, Jump!
I’ve always had a soft spot for cutesy 2D platformers, having grown up playing them in the 80s and 90s – and, mostly thanks to indie developers, they seem to be just as popular as ever today. The 3D platformer has been undergoing a bit of a resurgence recently too, with games such as Yooka-Laylee, not to mention the remastered […]

It’s still important that we stay at home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible; yet that means more time stuck at home, trying to find ways to entertain ourselves.

Review: Sewer Rave
Available on itch.io Is it ok to post a review if you’ve played a game for ages and still don’t know what you’re doing? Is it ok to write a review if you’ve spent a decent amount of time on a game and you don’t even know what’s going on? I pondered these questions – and others – after sinking […]
Games of my Life: Animal Crossing
On the eve of the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons – I thought it’d be fun to share some memories of the GameCube game, which captured my attention for […]
Board Game Review: Little Battle
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 […]
Review: Jurassic World: Evolution
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 […]
Preview: The Otterman Empire
Though I’ve yet to play The Otterman Empire, I’m very keen to get my hands on it (and will be doing so very shortly, thanks to a demo I’ve kindly […]
