    Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic  is the second instalment in the series brought to us by Rougeside. The game is very much an interactive gameplay version of a Where’s Wally? book and one that we looked to review from the viewpoint of my daughter who was aged 5 at the time of playing.…

    Dave The Diver

    *GASP CAFF CAFF HACK* ….*Splutter*….Oh Ahoy there! I’ve just popped up for a spot of fresh air, oh, and to give you an in depth review of Mintrocket’s Dave the Diver before dipping back down into the waters.

    Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince

    Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince, is the second game in the series released by Playtonic Games. After having enjoyed the first game, I was happy to see that a second game was in development and eagerly anticipated its release.
