  • R-Type Final 2

    R-Type Final 2

    There are three things that are certain in life; taxes, death and a video game series abusing the word ‘Final’. In fairness, it’s likely that if a developer includes ‘Final’ in the title, it is often the case for the first entry into the series. That is until it sells millions of copies and the…

  • Fire: Ungh’s Quest

    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…

    0 Degrees

      I’ve never climbed a mountain before so I’m not in a position to comment if they have portals that teleport you from one area to another, or spikes that are shaped into perfect triangles. If they did, then Nerd Games & Kiddo Dev’s puzzle platformer 0 Degrees deserve a lot of praise for realism.…

  • The House In Fata Morgana – Dreams Of The Revenants Edition

    The House In Fata Morgana – Dreams Of The Revenants Edition

    When it comes to reviewing a video game, I take notes, writing down feelings about specific moments, and by the end of it I know roughly what I want to talk about. With The House In Fata Morgana – Dreams Of The Revenants Edition, much like the amnesiac protagonist of the piece, the game took…

  • 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…

  • 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…
