Version Played: Xbox One Let the records show that I’m incredibly late to the party on this one. I was never really a fan of Tomb Raider; though the very first game was very impressive from a technical point of view way back in the mid-90s, the series never really grabbed me – and I found the ubiquity of Lara […]
Version Played: Switch – $6.99/£6.29 – Published by: Ultimate Games I was excited to get my hands on Otherworldly; it looked like it had a real old school dungeon crawl feel, with horror elements such as jump scares thrown in the mix. Sadly, it’s quite a disappointing game. The dungeon is extremely dark; though this is intentional in order to […]
I’ve always been a fan of HP Lovecraft’s writing – and his stories have provided inspiration for lots of other writers, as well as for entertainment in other media. Most […]
I’ve written about the Exit games before, but never about a specific game from the rather extensive range that’s currently available. There’s a reason for that; as Escape Room-esque experiences that you can only play once, they rely on players knowing as little as possible before they start the game. This makes it extremely difficult to talk about each one […]
It’s hard to believe now, given the current shape of the console landscape, but Sony was once seen as an underdog in an industry dominated by Nintendo and Sega. It’s […]
Hello readers! Hard to believe, but it’s December already – and just over three weeks until Christmas. Scary! Speaking of the terrifying passage of time, somehow another week has passed – which means another seven articles to round up for your perusal. Dungeon Dreams First up was a look at the very promising ‘roguelike romance JRPG’, Dungeon Dreams, the final […]
You know when a new game comes out, everyone is excited about it, sharing photos of the box and then screenshots and clips of the game – and this can go on for weeks, everyone around them getting more and more hyped until, eventually, they cave and buy the game themselves? That happened with Man of Medan incredibly briefly. It […]
Way back in the dark days of 2007, when my own blog/website was not something I could ever imagine having (not least because I wasn’t confident enough in my writing […]
Out Now – ($19.99/£17.99) – Published by: Forever Entertainment A descent into a visceral, bone and sinew-covered hell with some astonishingly graphic visuals and often explicit nudity (though not sexualised, […]
I featured the deliciously dark DnD 5e companion Corpus Malicious shortly after its crowdfunding campaign launched on Kickstarter (at which point, impressively, it had already smashed its funding goal) – and, with ten days to go on the campaign, I thought I’d check in and see how it was doing. Turns out the answer to that is very well indeed. […]
Version Played: Switch – Out Now (£4.49/$4.99) – Published by: Forever Entertainment It’s October. The nights are getting darker – as are the mornings – it’s getting colder and Halloween […]
Be warned: spoilers abound for lots of different series, though they’ve been around for quite some time now! I’ve always had a fascination with zombies. It started way before I […]

I’d intended for this article to be published earlier this week, but it became clear when I was some way through my piece that I’d be better off repurposing it […]
