    We Were Here

    After enjoying the latest two games in the series, Drew and Gaz jump back in time and clear the original We Were Here from the backlog!

  • Duck Detective: The Secret Salami

    Duck Detective: The Secret Salami

    Even a grizzled PI like Eugene McQuacken could not have known that a simple case of lunch theft was hiding so many sinister twists and turns.

  • Wild Seas

    Wild Seas

    From watching Captain Pugwash or being bathed by Matey Bubble Bath as a kid, I’ve always felt there’s a romantic idea about pirates. As I grew up, Disney taught me that they were playful scallywags who journeyed the Caribbean looking for treasure, rum and a brothel. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as pirates…

  • SokoMage

    SokoMage

    I am an absolute sucker for both pixel art and puzzle games. If you waved a boxed copy of Piczle Cross in front of me whilst my shed was on fire, my garden would be full of smouldering ashes in no time. In a more realistic turn of events, when Afil Games reached out to…

Jumping into the survival genre has titles that come with its own unique styles and construction mechanics, with personal…

  • Isles of Sea and Sky

    Isles of Sea and Sky

    The preview blew Drew away last year – so what did he think of the final version of retro-styled tropical puzzler, Isles of Sea and Sky?

  • Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

    Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

    If I were to present to you an image of the grey, concrete brick-looking relic from the 90’s that is the Playstation One console, and was to ask “name the first games that pop into your head?”  What are you going to say?  Crash Bandicoot, maybe? Metal Gear Solid? Resident Evil 2, perhaps? For me…
