Axiom Verge 2
The metroidvania has been a beloved genre since the release of the original Metroid way back in 1986 (belated happy birthday to the OG, Samus Aran, by the way!), and there have been some tremendous games released under the banner over the years. One of the first to spring to my mind was the frankly…

Umurangi Generation Special Edition
I have always been a fan of games that go against the grain; those that take a familiar concept or genre and flip it on its head to create something entirely new. With that in mind, I was stoked when a copy of ORIGAME DIGITAL’s Umurangi Generation Special Edition came across my desk. I’ve always…

Fire: Ungh’s Quest
In the time before time, when videogames were not even imaginable in the undeveloped minds of our knuckle-dragging ancestors, the ability to problem solve was what separated the weak from the strong and determined who would survive. Only those with the keenest senses and the sharpest wits would adapt to the challenges ahead of them…

Glyph
One of the things that I’m most attracted to about gaming is the sheer volume of different types of games out there and the medium’s ability to appeal to such a huge breadth of people. Some players might want to rampage through hordes of zombies and have bullets and limbs flying in an action packed…

Hentai Vs Evil
Most of the time reviewing video games is a pretty sweet gig; you get to talk with developers and publishers and share enthusiasm about their project, give some structured feedback and praise, and help your audience decide if what you’ve just played is worth investing their hard-earned money in. That said, there are times when…

Thinking of Flute Boy
Even as a child, I was a goofy romantic with a penchant for storytelling. I remember I would forever be conjuring up fantastic scenarios, fictional allies and terrible enemies; babbling on to myself excitedly as I dashed around with a toy sword or laser gun, swooshing and pew-pew-pewing to my heart’s content. No universe was left unvisited. As I…

VGamingBargains: Nintendo Switch June 2021
I know what you’re going to say VGamingBargains fans – where in the world was the May Edition?! Well, we’re not going to lie to you all – May was a very busy month for us in the VGaming offices, what with the world opening back up and some huge releases hitting our desks, so…

Resident Evil Village
As a lifelong fan of the Resident Evil franchise, I’m not going to pretend that I wasn’t thoroughly hyped for a new entry in the series. And I wasn’t alone – Resident Evil Village was eagerly anticipated the world over, and with rumours swirling that Capcom had taken a more supernatural approach this time, interest…

Mighty Goose
I grew up in the early 90s, in what I like to believe was the Golden Age of Videogaming. It was a time before day one DLC and loot boxes; a time when new games were universally celebrated and players were more interested in gameplay than what FPS the developer had managed to achieve. And…

Gravity Heroes
As a gamer ‘of a certain age’ I grew up on a lot of arcade shooters, designed to eat your pocket money by throwing waves of pixelated minions at you as you blasted away at them with some upgradable gun or another. Zooming some (read: a lot) of years into the future, I still find…
