Comedy, sketches, gaming, lemmings. You do the math.
ACE Team, developer of Deadly Tower of Monsters, have made a career out of the unorthodox, as perceived by the orthodoxy of the West; basing the seemingly extraterrestrial aesthetics of their previous games on the entirely terrestrial culture and landscape of their native Chile. Gameplay, also, has been steeped […] Read more »
Wasteland is in many ways the Demon Souls to Fallout’s Dark Souls…if you get what I’m saying. Originally released in 1988 for the Commodore 64, Wasteland introduced the world to a whole host of RPG features that we now take for granted. Presenting a persistent world with fully customisable characters, […] Read more »
I suppose it would be best to start with a disclaimer; if you’re looking for a spiritual successor to Mutant League Football, Blood Bowl 2 is not the game for you. Sadly, you will have to keep on waiting for that one. However, if you are looking for one of the best […] Read more »
Originally released on the PC in two parts back in 2013/14, Revolution Software’s crowd-funded return to their point and click roots – Broken Sword 5: The Serpents Curse, finally makes its way to the current generation of consoles. Does it compare favourably to the originals? You’ll have to read on […] Read more »
Originally released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 last year, Risen 3: The Titan Lords – Enhanced Edition brings the action RPG from Piranha Bytes to PS4. It’s an odd choice for a remaster considering it wasn’t that warmly received in the first place, thanks mainly due to its […] Read more »

And if another does not hatch, Geralt (a monster-slaying hexer and tracker) simply uses his keen witcher senses (detective vision) to spot another. This structure makes large portions […] Read more »
While listening to Mark Hamill’s haunting rendition of Only You as the credits rolled over Arkham City, I was left wondering how Rocksteady could possibly top it. In my mind, AC remains the finest superhero game ever made and also one of the best Batman stories ever written. Sure, it borrowed heavily from […] Read more »
If you’ve read my previous reviews of other episodic games you’ll probably know the rules by now. Each episode will get its own micro review and each is written based on the assumption that you’ve probably played the previous entry in the series, therefore you won’t mind some plot points […] Read more »
The original Swords & Soldiers was a clever exercise in adaptation: what if one were to take an RTS, and place it in a sidescroller? The answer was a fun, simplified RTS that compensated for its simplicity by involving the player more directly in battles through the use of manually-cast […] Read more »
Occasionally I like to sign up to review games that take me out of my comfort zone a little, and I find that sometimes it’s fun to just try something different to what I would normally play. I won’t lie to you, I generally have little patience for simulators and […] Read more »
