Board Game Review: Here to Slay
Though hugely popular – in thanks due to its superb visual design and excellent production values – I’ve never really been a fan of TeeTurtle’s Unstable Unicorns. It’s a straightforward […]
Review: Roundguard
When Peggle arrived way back in 2007, it was an absolute sensation. Despite only appearing on the PC initially, PopCap’s pachinko-esque title – with pinball style lights and sounds – […]
Review: Shmubedi Boo
Don’t be fooled by the cutesy name and visuals of Shmubedi Boo – it’s an extremely challenging single screen platformer with incredibly devious level design, not unlike a non-scrolling Super Meat Boy, though far more colourful and kawaii than that game ever was. The plot – which is largely irrelevant – sees an evil rabbit stealing apples from the inhabitants […]
Review: Umihara Kawase BaZooKa!
Available on: Switch, PS4 and PC – Version Played: Switch – Physical Versions for Switch and PS4 available from Strictly Limited As I’ve mentioned in recent reviews, local multiplayer arena games seem to be undergoing quite a renaissance recently.

Available for PC via itch.io – Price: $1.50 – By: SmokeSomeFrogs I hate gatekeeping. People telling others that what they’re doing isn’t right based on some imaginary, arbitrary rules that […]
Review: Fidel Dungeon Rescue
Available on Steam, itch.io – also Mac and iOS Though I’ve covered big budget blockbuster titles here a number of times, I find smaller, more inventive and unusual indie titles to be far more interesting to cover. Fidel Dungeon Rescue is a game that deserves an awful lot more recognition than it currently has. A cute little roguelike in which […]
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: Rainbow Knights
I’ve written a few articles on tabletop games of late, with my most recent articles of that nature being a look at the point-and-click PC adventure inspired The Dungeon and the D&D-themed, fast-paced chaos of Dungeon Mayhem. Both are very different experiences indeed. Rainbow Knights is another tabletop game that feels very different to a lot of games out there, […]
