Book Review: Minecraft Master Builds (2022)
Though I have tried to get into Minecraft, I’ve always struggled. Presented with a blank slate and limitless opportunities for creativity is something that always brings my lack of imagination […]
Video Game Review: Wonder Boy Collection (Switch)
Few video game characters have as confusingly twisted a history as Wonder Boy, whose games either came without numbers (see the second game in the series: Wonder Boy in Monster […]
Review: Mega Cat Studios Collection 1 (Evercade Cartridge 08)
When the Evercade was first announced, it was assumed that we’d basically see old games being made available again – which is great, but it was a very pleasant surprise […]

Having been unveiled originally in August, first person puzzle game Faraday Protocol has been significantly refined following feedback from the gaming community, with a number of major updates now released. […]
Review: Interplay Collection 2 (Evercade Cartridge 07)

News: Witchery Academy
Having checked out the promising-looking indie title Witchery Academy for a preview last year, I can safely say that it’s one of my most anticipated upcoming titles. With a focus […]
Opinion: The Influence and Appeal of Retro Games

Comment: Next Generation Nerves?
Here we are, supposedly just a few months away from the launch of PS5 and Xbox One Series X – yet there’s still no indication of what price they’re going to launch at or any similar details for the games that will be accompanying each console’s launch. I’ve never known anything like this in my 40ish years of gaming; usually, […]
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.
