Disintegration – Review

I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of robots and A.I., just the idea and imagery of a robot or android with it’s own intelligence adapting and learning enhancements, is an incredible concept. Didn’t help when movies like Terminator and Robocop came out and threw hardcore violence into the mix.

Total Tank Simulator – Review

Growing up, every person surely had this experience: Either your relative, neighbour, friend or that kid you were forced to sit and play with at play time had this basic, run of the mill, army kit. The kit was flooded with green army men, all of which were holding various

Minecraft Dungeons – Review

I was very late to the Minecraft craze, I was pessimistic that something that looked like a kid’s game could have any sort of depth or complexity that I for one crave as a gamer. Boy, was I wrong. I eventually jumped onto that bandwagon and wow was I obsessed.

Mafia II: Definitive Edition – Review

Given its remarkable similarities with the Grand Theft Auto franchise, it’s a wonder why I hadn’t tried the Mafia series all those years ago when it was released. As we approach the 10th anniversary of Mafia II, games developer Hangar 13 have been working on something in secret, something many

Tidal Shock (Early Access) – Review

As a kid growing up, I used to love diving in the sea or a swimming pool and having that weightlessness slowed down sensation that you feel whilst being underwater. How time seemingly slows down, all your actions are intensified and any underwater play fights are genuinely like you’re forever

Touhou Mechanical Scrollery – Review

To start this off, Touhou Mechanical Scrollery, or I like to say TMS, is the latest in Bullet hell mid-air hunting shoot-em-ups, and for those familiar with Tougou games, this is no exception. With its action RPG, an interesting storyline and graphically stunning gameplay, TMS really has the spirit of

Ion Fury – Review

Being a bit of an older gamer, I was around when first person shooters started making their way onto computers. The likes of Duke Nukem 3D, the very first DOOM title, Wolfenstein 3D, and my personal favourite, Redneck Rampage. These were the games that every aspiring gamer had in their

Obey Me – Review

‘Obey me’ developed by Error 404 Game Studios and published by Blowfish Studios is a game I was super stoked to see when it appeared in my inbox. It’s no secret that I’m a massive fan of just about anything Blowfish Studios is attached to, so with that being said

This mysterious and magical focused game sets up a challenging and meaningful encounter everywhere you go. The plot is narrated to you and the narrator also serves as your guide through a journey of discovery and intrigue within the vast castle set before you. From what I’ve experienced thus far

Dreamscaper: Prologue – Review

To break the proverbial third wall here, I’m a huge fan of storytelling. If the action in movies or games is poor, but you have a good story, I’m hooked! Thankfully, the team at Afterburner Studio are in agreement with my fandom (plus the gameplay action is just as awesome!)

Resident Evil 3 – Review

With a few notable exceptions, remakes and remasters of games are rarely a good thing. Sure, we get to benefit from some incredible updates to graphics, but it is unlikely to have any game changing results, often just recycling the game play and ultimately feeling like the game wasn’t as

Resident Evil: Resistance – Review

Most zombie based multiplayer games will have teams of players facing up against countless zombies, blasting away without worry for ammunition and simply trying to get from one safe room to another. One of my personal favourites was Left 4 Dead, pitting four players against a seemingly limitless supply of
