Platforming meets punishment. When an aged gamer recounts their gaming story, a reference to ‘the game that started it all’ is anything but a scarcity.

Drifting Lands PC Review

Posted on July 12, 2017 by Leon Peters-Malone

Having fond memories of things in the style of R-Type, Raiden arcade game I was expecting something of that sort, short burn lives, lots of projectiles to avoid and plenty of big scary bad guys. All of that is here and more, modifiable ships, different grades of missions and refreshingly short but fulfilling missions. Not only that a fairly strong Continue Reading...

Starpoint Gemini Warlords PC Review

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Paul Barbara

There’s a part of me that just wants to wander between the planets and stars. Starpoint Gemini Warlords is an interesting title. Both in that you have a fairly large and free scope of action, giving your territory to control, fleets to manage. Not only that, piracy is a real option to make some good money fairly quickly.

Hunting Simulator PlayStation 4 Review

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Gavin Petersen

I just don’t get hunting, or at least trophy hunting. There is something about humans with guns shooting animals from a distance whilst unaware that doesn’t sit well with me. Perhaps it is due to me being all about giving a sporting chance. I’d much rather see how the hunter would fair if the animals had lasers attached, or vice Continue Reading...

Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku PlayStation 4 Review

Posted on June 28, 2017 by Chris Kyriacou

‘Not another Pixel Dungeon Crawler’ Uniqueness shines bright in NIS’ latest title, Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku!, through its intriguing dungeon crawling gameplay, gorgeous pixel art and glowing personality. While the dungeons do lack variety at times and can be downright tedious and repetitive, the short-burst style of dungeon design and ‘pick-up-and-play’ approachability makes this a recommendation as a staying Continue Reading...

Valkyria Revolution Playstation 4 Review

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Chris Kyriacou

The Art of War. Sega and Media.Visions’ Valkyria Revolution is a deviation from the legacy of the original franchise, in both style, game mechanics and art of the Chronicles titles, whilst still leaving the core premise intact. While the heavily story-driven approach and hours upon hours of cutscenes might deter some (some of which cannot be skipped), there’s a wonderfully Continue Reading...

Get Even PlayStation 4 Review
