Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a fantastic example of a game exploiting the nostalgia for something that never actually existed. Its look and feel is exactly what late-thirties me feels that teenage me would have envisaged if told there was a Warhammer 40,000 set first-person shooter coming out in the mid 90s, right down to the…

Tron Identity
In my humble opinion Disney has brutally mishandled the Tron franchise from the get-go. Their ambitious 1982 film set within the inner workings of an arcade machine was a brilliantly original film whose influence can be seen in films like Ready Player One and Wreck It Ralph.

This is my fourth Neptunia title in three years, and along with thinking I’m getting a dab hand at the dungeon crawling RPG, I think I’ve spent more time in this franchise in the last few years compared with my entire experience of 3D Sonic games. For those unfamiliar with the series, I’ll bring you…

Metroid Prime Remastered
Without carbon dating myself too much, as a kid I had been waiting for Samus’s first 3D outing since rumours of an N64 game were circulating various Nintendo magazines. Development on a next-gen Metroid was ultimately shifted to Nintendo’s first disc-based system, the GameCube. For the first year of the GameCube’s life I had been…
