Comic Book Review: Aliens: Aftermath #1
Set 35 years after Aliens (which is quite a neat touch, given that this issue celebrates the movie’s 35th anniversary), Aliens: Aftermath sees a group of humans making their way […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: Abyssal Albion #2
Following the excellent first issue‘s successful corwdfunding campaign and release, Lovecraftian survival horror comic series Abyssal Albion has now been launched on Kickstarter. I missed the campaign for the well-written […]
Review: What Comes After
When Vivi falls asleep on a busy train after a long day, she wakes up on what is seemingly the same train – but it’s on a very different journey, […]
Sea of Thieves: A True Story
It started off as it always does; my pirate regaining consciousness, probably after too much grog, in the outpost’s tavern. From there, I met up with another crewmember – let’s […]
Review: The Walking Dead: Season Two
Having played through the first season of Telltale’s incredible Walking Dead series – as well as the interlude episode, 400 Days, it was only a matter of time before I […]
Review: The Walking Dead: 400 Days
Having recently replayed – and reviewed – the first season of Telltale’s critical and commercial breakthrough title, The Walking Dead, it wasn’t long before I picked up my bloodied controller […]
Review: The Walking Dead
When Telltale’s The Walking Dead was released in 2012, I don’t think anyone was ready for how much of an impact it’d make, nor how high it’d set the bar […]
News: Clea (Switch)
It’s spooky season, which makes it the perfect time to discover 2D horror title Clea. After a successful release on PC (with an overall Very Positive review rating), Clea launches […]
Review: Batman: The Telltale Series
Following the remarkable commercial and critical success of the superb 2012 video game adaptation of The Walking Dead (based in the comic book universe rather than that of the TV […]
Review: What Remains of Edith Finch
The term ‘walking simulator’ is often used in a derogatory way, but I’m a huge fan of many games that fit the description. They’re often tightly scripted, narratively satisfying experiences […]
Comic Book Review: Invasion From Planet Wrestletopia #1
In the early 90s, I was absolutely obsessed with the brilliantly OTT action and storylines found in American wrestling and would eagerly watch as much as I could find of […]
First Impressions: The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters
Having recently taken a look at The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters ahead of its Xbox One release, I’ve now had a chance to play it and I’m pleased to report that it’s an excellently creepy experience. I was perhaps expecting the game to be more along the lines of a visual novel with little interaction beyond the odd occasional dialogue […]
Comic Book Review: Old Haunts #2
Continuing the first issue’s Michael Mann-esque ghostly crime tale, issue two packs in quite a lot of story into its pages. We get more of a glimpse into the backstory of who (but not necessarily what) is haunting the main characters – in more ways than one. The artwork is once again absolutely phenomenal, with a contemporary night time cityscape […]
Review: Doodle Date
Available for: Windows – Buy: Steam or itch.io – By: Nick Lives (Steam & itch.io) When I first checked out Doodle Date, I thought it looked like a light-hearted, creative little spin on the dating sims that seem so prevalent these days. Whimsical illustrations accompany the screenshots and trailer – and even though my artwork is nowhere up to the […]
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 […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: The Star Legation
From time to time, I come across – or have my attention drawn to – some really promising projects in development. In this instance, Andy Mitchell – the creator of The Star Legation – reached out and asked me to check out the demo for his game. After taking the time to play through the generously sized demo, I’ve been […]
