You could say I have become a bit of a Lawn Mowing expert, well, in the simulator sense at least. While I don’t particularly like to be out in the sunlight, like most gamers, I do have a bit of a green thumb and enjoy the company of plants and

Colony-building simulators are one of my favourite genres in gaming, especially when they allow you to put your little guys to work. Tribe: Primitive Builder, an indie title, is a perfect example of the unnecessary need for a big studio budget to make something incredible. A collaborative effort by three
I’m a Modern History buff; I love period piece-centric games and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve completed ‘Mafia’. I also love racing games, I’m a ‘Need for Speed’ fangirl, a ‘Forza’ try-hard, and 150-time ‘Mario Kart’ Star Cup Champion (at the very, VERY least). I was excited

We all had nightmares as young children, and finding protection in words, people, or an inanimate object is what would help us through the night. Coming from a family of six brothers and one sister, sleeping right through the night was quite the task my parents would have to undertake,
There are many ‘Vampire Survivors’ clones out there and ‘Striving for Light: Survival’ is yet another one joining those ranks.

City-builder games are abundant in the gaming sphere, with industrialisation and humanity taking over large plots of land being pretty standard fare.

I have always had a soft spot for pinball machines. I was first introduced to a pinball machine when I visited my friend’s house. His father had an old sit-down pinball cabinet from the 1960s, and it was incredibly simple compared to today’s standards. It only had a ball shooter,
‘Ludde’, developed by Shellander Games, is definitely a case of not judging a book by its cover. Appearing quite simple and unpolished, this is one rough stone hiding some sparking gems inside.
