It’s hard to believe that Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons was originally released in August 2013 as part of the Xbox Summer of Arcade promotion. Just to take you back in time for a moment, the other games that were also available included: Charlie Murder, Flashback, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of […]
I’ve always enjoyed hidden object games and Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic ticked all the boxes for me, with its visually appealing art style, varied levels, pleasant sound design, multi-level buildings to explore and much more.There are four chapters – The Middle Ages, Greek Mythology, 1001 Nights and The Magical 80’s, with each […]
Many years ago I was responsible for shutting down the Leicester Square NatWest bank in London for a full afternoon due to me drilling through a live wire in their wall.All I remember is a loud bang and then I came too about 8 feet away from the wall, holding a drill with a melted […]
After being in early access on Steam for a few years, Rising Lords is now available on PC, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. But what is it?Rising Lords is a turn based game set in the fictional Northern Island Kingdom of Aubelin in medieval times, combining both card and board games aesthetics and all presented with […]
The console release of Teardown has had me quite excited for a while now, with promo videos of total destruction whetting my appetite to unleash the berserker inside of me.However, my excitement was tempered upon starting the game and discovering that there was no option to invert the Y axis, making it totally unplayable for […]
I very much enjoyed playing Dredge earlier this year (review here) and so was excited to try the 1st DLC for the game: “The Pale Reach”.Everything I loved about the original game remains the same: the beautiful art style, the “go anywhere and discover” narrative that let’s you find the hidden stories as and when […]
Mario Kart…there, I’ve said it and got it out of the way early.Inevitably any kart racing game that gets released will be compared and contrasted to one of the all-time greats.So, with that out of the way, let’s move onto the game.It’s hard to go wrong with a kart racing game and Dreamworks All-Star Kart […]
I didn’t play the first Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl so can’t really comment on any improvements in gameplay, characters, etc, and despite not being a huge fan of “fighting” games, I have enjoyed many a session on the Super Smash Bros series of games with my son…of which this game shares a lot of common ground.First […]
I’ll be perfectly honest and say that I’d never even heard of the original Ghostrunner game, which is not surprising really when my fave video game genres are racing and RPGs, and those are what I mostly keep an eye open for.So what was it about Ghostrunner 2 that peaked my interest when we were […]
I have to admit that I knew nothing at all about Trepang2, so went into this not knowing what to expect…and I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed the experience.An amalgam of Max Payne, F.E.A.R, and the most ballsy and bloody all out action/sci-fi movie you could think of, Trepang2 had me […]
