Comic Book Review: Primordial #5

Board Game Review: Monki (2021)
The old adage ‘never judge a book by its cover’ is one I’m generally aware of and thankful for – but in the case of ‘Monki’, I had a serious […]
Comic Book Review: Usagi Yojimbo: Yokai (2009)
Though Usagi Yojimbo (translated from Japanese, it means ‘rabbit bodyguard’) is usually a black and white comic, this beautifully produced one-shot is fully painted in beautiful watercolours, by series creator […]
Video Game Review: Cellular Harvest (Switch)
It’s often difficult or near impossible to avoid coverage of games prior to their release. Consequently, players will often have preconceived notions about what they’re going to experience prior to […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Solo Board Games
Though lockdown restrictions are easing, people are forgetting that we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic. 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. Those of you who know me well or have […]
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 […]
