Splatoon 3
Refill your paint canisters and throw on your freshest gear, because the latest entry in Nintendo’s squad-based (or should that be squid-based?) shooter, Splatoon 3, is here! It’s been five years since the last entry in the franchise, and with a rabid core-fanbase and swathes of casual players returning, it feels like Nintendo have timed…

Cursed To Golf
When it comes to the real-life sport – I hate golf. In fact, playing golf is my idea of hell. But offer me a golf videogame like Putt & Putter, Kirby’s Dream Course or Mario Golf and all that changes – I’m all-in. Where real golf is stiff and uninviting, videogame golf tends to be…

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.

SENSEs: Midnight
The second game I reviewed after coming back on staff at VGamingNews was 2.5D 90’s-inspired survival-horror, Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story by Suzaku. While the game had its problems, the roster of antagonists was interesting and the setting showed definite promise, so I jumped at the chance to play SENSEs: Midnight, Suzaku’s follow up title.…

Gamedec
I’ve always been a fan of detective shows. When I was growing up, my dad would watch every cop drama under the sun, and it was a nightly ritual for us to watch one or two together before I went to bed. Whether it’s an eccentric classic like Poirot or the more bombastic Law &…

Voyage
Away from my time gaming and writing reviews, I love to tell stories. The nuances of good storytelling have fascinated me for as long as I can remember, and I’ve written about weird and wonderful characters and fantastical worlds from the time I was first able to hold a pen. As gaming has become a…

Meet me at NooN
I’m a gamer who loves to engage his brain. Whether it’s prepping combos in tactical RPG combat or a deck builder that requires careful planning, I enjoy it when a game takes my intelligence seriously and gives me plenty to think about. I was happy then when the adorable turn-based puzzler Meet me at NooN…

Souldiers
We’ve always been big fans of a metroidvania here in the VGamingNews offices, and we’ve been seriously stoked about Souldiers after since we got our hands on a demo at this year’s W.A.S.D. event. The demo version showed off some beautiful pixel art graphics and some rather spiky combat, and we were keen to see…
