Comic Book Review: Cyberpunk 2077: Trauma Team #1
I’ve been a fan of cyberpunk – that’s with a small ‘c’, as in the genre – since the late 80s, when the term first came to my attention. I’ve […]
Kickstarter: My Time at Sandrock
My Time at Portia was a critical and commercial hit when it launched on PC in 2018 and then later on consoles in 2019. It was a beautifully compelling, Studio […]
Preview: Undead Darlings: No Cure for Love
Now available on Steam, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Undead Darlings: No Cure for Love is an appealing hybrid of visual novel elements with an RPG featuring dungeon crawling, looting and […]
Kickstarter: The Star Legation
I first covered The Star Legation earlier this year after checking out the impressive and rather generously sized demo. I was very taken with how well written the game was, as well as the variety on offer with the look and feel of the characters you interact with along the way. The Star Legation is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter […]
News: Xbox & Bethesda
Just a few hours ago, Xbox social media accounts – led by Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer – dropped an absolute bombshell, just 24 hours (or less, in some regions) prior to the opening of pre-orders for the next gen Xbox consoles. Microsoft have acquired ZeniMax Media, owner of Bethesda Softworks – a company which itself is made up of […]
First Impressions: Tom Clancy’s The Division
Despite the author himself passing away in 2013, Tom Clancy’s name continues to be applied to a number of different video game series, many of which – including titles such […]
Preview: Lands of Raynar
Though light on footage or shots of in-game action. the recently announced Lands of Raynar looks and sounds very promising indeed. Billed as a unique hybrid of RTS and RPG, Lands of Raynar is due to be released in 2022 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. According to the press release, Lands of Raynar will feature an intriguing storyline, […]
First Impressions: Ring Fit Adventure
Though it’s been a good few months since I’ve been to the gym, I’ve only just got hold of Nintendo’s popular new workout experience, Ring Fit Adventure. My lack of […]
News: CrossCode
Out Today on PS4, Switch and Xbox One – Available digitally – Physical version Pre-Orders: ININ Games Acclaimed PC action RPG CrossCode arrives on consoles today amid a flurry of phenomenal review scores. God is a Geek rated it 10/10 – and Metro have (perhaps prematurely) proclaimed CrossCode the RPG of the Year in their review. It’s a phenomenal achievement […]
Review: Maneater
I was far too young for Jaws when I first watched it in the early 80s, but I became obsessed with it – and sharks in general. The fearsome, toothy killers of the deep are a perennially popular oceanic villain too; Shark Week is a thing, of course – and shark horror is essentially its own genre now, even if […]
Board Game Review: Shadowrun: Zero Day
Though I’ve just covered another Shadowrun board game this week (the Lords of Waterdeep-esque Shadowrun: Sprawl Ops), I’ve also recently acquired two player card game Shadowrun: Zero Day. For once in a Shadowrun game, the complexity and buckets-of-dice elements are dialled down or tossed out entirely, leaving a more focused, fast-paced experience that goes all in on presenting just one […]
Review: Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Version Played: Xbox One (Xbox One X Enhanced) – also available on PS4 and PC Lockdown is a funny thing. I wouldn’t normally have had the time to work my way through a single Tomb Raider game in a reasonable period of time, let alone an entire trilogy. Yet that’s exactly what I’ve been able to do over the last […]
Early Access Impressions: Exoplanet: First Contact
Available Now on Steam: £14.99 – Developed by: Alersteam – Published by: GrabTheGames The Western – concerned as it often is with taming a new frontier, full of possibilities, danger and excitement – seems to be constantly appealing. Likewise, the Space Western, that shares many of the same tropes, imagery and themes as its earthbound, historically-based forebear, holds a similar […]
Pecaminosa – Crowdfunding Campaign Launch
Though I’ve shone a spotlight on Pecaminosa a few times before, the game’s Indiegogo campaign is live as of today – so it’s a great opportunity to spread the word of this wonderful looking game once more. Billed as a ‘Pixel Noir’ game, Pecaminosa is a game that has definitely had my attention for a long time now. Dripping in […]
Review: Dungeon Adventure
Price: Free – Available via Amazon Alexa-enabled devices – Website Though there’s a lot of privacy-related concerns surrounding voice activated, always connected tech (which are more than justified, I might add), there’s some incredibly cool features that few people may know about, let alone even try. I’m not sure where or how I stumbled upon the idea of playing RPGs […]
Preview: Quest Arrest (Game Boy)
If you’d told me thirty years ago that I’d still be playing Game Boy games I’d probably have laughed awkwardly and walked away shaking my head at you, despite how much I adored – and still adore – Nintendo’s charming chonk of a handheld. If you’d told me that I would be playing an entirely new Game Boy game in […]
