Need For Speed Heat – Review

I think it’s fair to say that the past couple of Need for Speed games haven’t really felt like they’ve lived up to the older games in the franchise. Personally, I loved the days of Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon, so when EA announced Heat, my eyes lit up and

Blacksad: Under The Skin – Review

Blacksad – Under The Skin is a game developed by Pendulo Studio, YS Interactive and published by Microids. As we look further into the developers and publisher, it seems as though crime thrillers are this groups bread and butter, and this game is no exception. A classic “Who done it?”

Death Stranding – Review

A few months ago, we here at MKAU Gaming held a podcast revolving around E3 and what was announced. There was so much that caught our attention, and we all got extremely excited as we saw new titles flash up on the big screen. One such game was Death Stranding,

Powerwave Xbox One Controller Phone Mount – Review

Mobile gaming isn’t for everyone, however it can be incredibly addictive. When Call Of Duty Mobile dropped early, we at MKAU were obsessed. Alternatively, though that community is divided over the use of controllers to get that competitive edge. While, I don’t really care too much about the argument, there

Killer Queen Black – Review

Buy It, play it, you’ll love it! My review for Killer Queen Black is done now. Thanks, and goodnight! Well, maybe, I suppose I should tell you why… Ok then… Killer Queen Black is the console adaption of the arcade eSport game “Killer Queen”. Killer Queen Black has been rebuilt

Close To The Sun – Review

Let me start by saying that horror games are my jam. I much prefer them over almost any other genre, with the exception of RPG’s. Recently, there have been quite a few games that have come out, and while some been absolutely brilliant, more have been a bit of a

The Outer Worlds – Review

Given how much I adore the Fallout franchise, it often comes as a surprise to people when they find out I never played Fallout: New Vegas. The main reason for this, is that I never really felt like anyone but Bethesda could pull off a game like that. Having said

Ghost Blade HD – Review

Ghost Blade HD is a new top down shoot’em up available for the Nintendo Switch. Sadly, it fails to hit the nail on the head before it even begins, as it doesn’t really offer anything new to the genre. Instead, relying purely on nostalgia to pull in players. Expecting you

Rising Hell – Review

Rising Hell is a fast paced, heavy metal vertical platformer developed by Tahoe Games and published by Another Indie and Toge Productions. Being in Early Access, this roguish game brings a lot of potential and fun. Starting off, Rising Hell being in Early Access by no means should be a

Legends Of Runeterra – Preview

While at PAX Australia in October 2019, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend an exclusive invite only panel with Riot Games. They were on the verge of the 10th Anniversary of League of Legends and had a rather interesting topic they wanted to discuss. Joined via Skype

Duped – Review

Duped’, an indie game created by Reuben Moorhouse, that was released on steam back in 2017, and is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2 years later, is a very intriguing puzzle game. Duped is the story of the life of a lonely square. It’s not just a plain cube

ReadySet Heroes – Review

I’m normally a big fan of dungeon crawlers. Making my way across the map, exploring every nook and cranny looking for that epic weapon, or that one armour piece that makes you resistant to all damage types. Leveling up a character and choosing my own destiny has a huge appeal

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince – Review

After the not so well received Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, the Finnish game studio, Frozenbyte, is back with its sequel, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. The fourth installment in the series aims to redeem itself from the previous game, which actually came close to shutting the studio down.

Day And Night – Review

‘Day and Night’ is an ode to Tetris you’d never expect. This little nifty indie game developed by Ridiculous Games, is at its core, a Tetris game for the Nintendo Switch, but with so much more. A puzzle game, it makes you keep playing more and more with its addictive

Zunius – Review

The team at COAF Research have helped bring life back to the retro age, by releasing their debut title, ‘Zunius’. Described as a ‘Psychedelic, Rogue-Like Bullet Hell’, you’ll be rocketing around various alien planets, shooting your foes down until your heart’s content! So fire up your blasters as we dive

Walking Zombie 2 – Review

Walking Zombie 2 was developed and published by Alda Games. This new free to play, zombie apocalypse first person shooter offers a whole lot of fun. It’s an energetic and funny shooter with RPG elements and a cartoon/Minecraft look that does not take itself too seriously. With a story-line that

Asphalt 9: Legends developed by GamesLoft is a high octane, racing game that was released on Android, IOS and PC in 2018, but has now been newly release on the Nintendo Switch. The Switch version coming free to download, offers DLC bundles for $19.99. I will say this openly and
