The journey of the three animal astronauts comes to an end in this final issue, bringing us a beautiful, bittersweet conclusion to the tragic tale of Laika, Able and Mrs […]
As Able, Laika and Miss Baker make their way home, monkey Able ponders whether or not they should even be returning, considering how they were treated back on Earth. What […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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.
