There is a certain something about a come-back story, even when the odds are stacked against them. It has been over two decades since the release of the over-the-top and zany “Ready 2 Rumble Boxing” and much like the ‘Rocky’ universe, the ‘Rumble” franchise has risen from the ashes, once
I have always loved all things furry, creepy, and crawly. From looking for snails and millipedes under my nan’s flowerpots back in England to when my Mum made me throw out my elephant beetle shells collection because they stunk out my room; I’ve always been fascinated by creatures big and

“No More Heroes 3” by Grasshopper Studios, is the obvious third installment in the high octane hack and slack ‘No More Heroes’ franchise.

Double Fine’s classic humor, signature gameplay, and creative platforming are back in Psychonauts 2. Psychonauts 2 takes place after the events of the original game, and you once again play
One of the oldest sayings still about is “don’t judge a book by its cover,” and it has never been more prevalent than my experience with Greak: Memories of Azur. Developed by Navegante Entertainment and published by the legendary Team17, this visually alluring side scroller adventure game both kicked my
I remember when I was younger and used to save up my pocket money to buy random gaming magazines simply because they had a disc full of game demos. They weren’t a rare occurrence either, they would drop a new magazine with a fresh set of demos every single month.

Before the behemoth we’ve come to know and love as Grand Theft Auto V took over the gaming world with its arguably unmatchable open-world quality, it too had to start from humble beginnings: top-down view gameplay. A seemingly lost form of gameplay in today’s modern-day storm of gaming consoles and
Fracked is a new VR action-adventure game created by nDreams and will be available on Playstation 4|5 with the PSVR adaptor, and requires the Move Motion Controls for a full VR experience, and is designed for players to be seated while playing. The player takes the role of the reluctant
One of the first action-adventure puzzle games I ever played was Tomb Raider, way back in the later days of Windows 95. I can’t really say that I was ever any good at it, but I stuck with it as best I could and eventually, got past the first area.

‘A Way To Be Dead’ is an asymmetric, multiplayer game much like Dead By Daylight, Friday the 13th, and In Silence. Developed and Published by Crania Games, A Way To Be Dead is still in the early access phases, and although I tried multiple times to find a match as
It’s no secret that the term cyberpunk has been ever so slightly tarnished in the aftermath of the Cyberpunk 2077 launch. Luckily, it hasn’t deterred Neon Giant from finishing their first project together as a new studio, consisting of just 11 people! ‘The Ascent’ is a cyberpunk-inspired; action role-play game
In 2016, the highly anticipated ‘Suicide Squad’ was released in cinemas with a wide array of characters from DC Comics making their first appearances on the big screen, including long-time fan favourite Harley Quinn.

Ask any civilian what Hell is and they will most likely respond with “a place regarded in various religions as a spiritual realm of evil and suffering, often traditionally depicted as a place of perpetual fire beneath the earth where the wicked are punished after death”. Ask any Veteran and
A new first-person shooter, survival game set in Chernobyl? The last one I played and promptly quit because I don’t do horror was Metro, since then I’ve played games like Outlast and Blair Witch, BUT, ‘Chernobylite’ had me promptly jumping out of my chair and alt-f4ing the game. Chernobylite is

I love Noir games. They normally are gritty, griming, and fast-paced in action and dripped in dark sepia nostalgia. ‘Timothy Vs The Aliens’ by WildSphere originally released back in 2018, is a small open worldish, platform adventure title that oozes charm but platforms flat on its face in basic execution.
