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…

RWBY Grimm Eclipse – Definitive Edition
Based on the viral web series by Rooster Teeth, RWBY: Grimm Eclipse was originally created as a fan project back in 2014, before being officially picked up by the company and released on Steam in 2016. Fast forward to 2021 and Aspyr have brought the Definitive Edition of the game, containing all of the DLC,…

Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD
Early-2000s gaming had a crowded 3D-platforming scene, with franchises like Rachet & Clank and Jak and Daxter just starting out, and Sonic Adventure 2 taking the Gamecube audience by storm. I remember thinking that Ty the Tasmanian Tiger might struggle for a look-in, but boy was I wrong – and 20 years and four entries…

Layers of Fear VR
Let me tell you a little about myself; along with my love of video games, I’m a massive fan of gory horror movies. The ones where there’s a slow, methodical killer on the loose who always manages to kill unwitting teens, despite never breaking a sweat – those are my jam. So I can handle…

Star Wars: Republic Commando
A long time ago (2005), in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: Republic Commando was released on the XBox and PC. It was later made available as a backwards compatible option on XBox One and now, in 2021, Aspyr has brought a retooled port to the Nintendo Switch and PS4. Often considered one of…

Erica
What if Han was arrested for shooting Greedo? What would have happened if Frodo had left the One Ring to Treebeard? Will there ever be a sequel to The Matrix?* These are all questions I’ve asked myself during or shortly after a film. Once the credits have rolled, there’s always a little voice in my…

Save Me Mr Tako: Definitive Edition!
Originally released back in 2018 by Nicalis Inc., Save me Mr Tako was pulled from all digital stores following a disagreement between developer Christophe Galati, and then-publisher, Nicalis Inc. Three years on, we’re happy to say Galati is releasing a Definitive Edition of the title on Steam, and Limited Run Games is offering both digital and physical copies on…

Fallen Legion Revenants
You’d be forgiven for not knowing the Fallen Legion series of video games. Originally created in 2017 by the delightfully named YummyYummyTummy, and published by NIS America (Disgaea), Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire was a fun time, but hard to define. It’s part side-scroller, part J-RPG and part strategy-RPG, all mixed together with elements…

That’s where Redout: Space Assault, the latest on-rails space shooter from 34BigThings, swoops in…
