Video games

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 […]

The 2020 Tour de France was due to begin on 27th June, but due to the current worldwide pandemic has been put back to 29th August. However, your 2020 Tour de France cycling itch can be scratched right now by this officially licensed cycling sim game from video game developer Cyanide S.A. While not being […]

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 […]

Horror games don’t come around very often, so I approached Dollhouse with a sense of excited anticipation. First impressions were good as I booted up the game and was faced with a noir infused tone, with nods to Bioshock.  Sounds great doesn’t it?!

When I’m writing a review about something I love, it’s hard not to turn into a gushy mess and blurt out “I love this game, it’s amazing!” Just because I love something, doesn’t mean everyone will. So, I thought I would try to explain what I love, not just about the game, but the genre […]

Alien StormPlatform: ArcadeReleased: 1990Publisher: SegaDeveloper: SegaIn the late 80s and earlier 90’s, Sega could do no wrong in my eyes. They would release hit after hit, including two of my all-time favourite games, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage 2. Sega generally followed a similar pattern with their games. For example, Shinobi is like ESWAT. […]

Having previously played (and enjoyed) Mud Runner, it was with great anticipation that I jumped into the world of its successor: Snow Runner. Set across 3 locations: Michigan, Alaska and Taymyr, it gives you an open world to explore, while building up a collection of vehicles and accessories to help complete a variety of tasks […]
