Making games is hard! I’ve been playing videogames for nearly 40 years, and I often get the feeling of déjà vu. Ideas get recycled, things get chewed up and spit back out which will hopefully resonate with a new audience. My point being, it must be tough for developers to come up with truly innovative […]
Having completed Destroy All Humans on its original release back in 2005, I was looking forward to revisiting 1950’s America and once again taking control of the alien antagonist Crypto as he quite literally tries to “Destroy All Humans” with a varied array of handheld weapons, psychokinetic abilities and his “flying saucer”. The first thing […]
Mortal KombatPlatform: ArcadeReleased 1992Publisher: MidwayDeveloper: MidwayThis isn’t necessarily a retro review, more of a chance for me to share some memories of Mortal Kombat.

Much like I mention in my review of Hunting Simulator 2, I am once again immersed in a world doing something I wouldn’t normally do, but absolutely loving doing it in this wonderful virtual playground called video games. I’ve been fishing once in real life (over 40 years ago) and soon discovered that it wasn’t […]
I have a soft spot for Isometric games! My childhood was spent playing games such as Batman, The Last Ninja, Desert Strike and Rock n’ Roll Racing to name a few. Of course, there are more modern examples of games using this viewpoint, but seeing isometric games always takes me back to a simpler time […]
Video games are amazing, they can open up worlds and allow you to do things that you couldn’t normally do. Want to race a Formula 1 car? How about pilot a 747 across the Atlantic? You can even battle aliens in outer space should you so wish. They also allow you to do things that […]

Marine life, and the conservation of it, has always fascinated me since I first watched (and absolutely loved) Marine Boy as a child. Hence it was an absolute pleasure to watch and review the documentaries Blue and Sharkwater Extinction last year for our website. So when a PS4 review code of Beyond Blue was kindly emailed […]
