VR Review: Richie’s Plank Experience (Oculus Quest 2)
As VR games go, Richie’s Plank Experience is probably one of the most recognisable even if you don’t know it by name; it’s the source of hundreds, if not thousands, […]
Sirens: Battle of the Bards – An Interview with Satine Phoenix and Jamison Stone
“I was eight years old,” Satine Phoenix reveals, about her first encounter with Dungeons & Dragons. “I found the starter box in my basement. It had my Dad’s old characters […]
Opinion: Nintendo Direct
So after months, if not years, of speculation regarding a collection of more modern Mario titles than we’re used to seeing, it was finally revealed in yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, which was also a celebration of the 35th Anniversary of seminal video game Super Mario Bros. Containing Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy, it’s coming very soon […]
Kickstarter Campaign: Commander ’85
Currently in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign – and around 40% funded with 27 days to go as of the time of writing – Commander ’85 is an adventure game for PC and consoles, with release planned for Autumn 2020.

There’s been the odd snippet of news here and there, as well as the update […]
Bad Lip Reading: Star Wars Edition
As a bonus to pick you up after all yesterday’s disappointing gaming news, how about checking out Bad Lip Reading on YouTube? I am so late to the party for this. Though I’d seen a Bad Lip Reading video before – Redneck Avengers – and thought it was both clever and hilarious, I hadn’t stumbled upon their songs; one of […]
Google Stadia
After a huge reveal in March this year, the release date for Google’s cloud-gaming platform seemed an awful long way away. There was a lot of excitement for the platform […]
Preview: Between Realms
Developed by: Ovva Games I’m forever impressed by the talent, passion and dedication of indie studios; despite the fact that games are more immediately and widely accessible than ever, it’s […]
Let People Enjoy Things
I was afraid of stepping into the gaming side of social media for a very long time, concerned that it was a toxic cesspool of problematic views and targeted harassment. Thankfully, for a very long time I seem to have kept away from those aspects and my Twitter feed is generally full of positive, welcoming, supportive and inclusive people. It’s […]
