Steam is awash with generic first-person horror games, so I was surprised to discover a title that does something genuinely different with the formula.  More so because I stumbled across it entirely by accident, having received a game ...

Whether you're a fan of the series or not, you've likely heard of the Five Nights of Freddy games. What you may not be aware of, however, is that owe their existence to another less favourably received game.  Creator Scott Cawthon's pr...

I sincerely hope no-one happens upon my review notes for This War of Mine: The Little Ones, because they don't make for pleasant reading. In particular, the words 'no more pills' and 'let Bruno die'  could be somewhat misconstrued. How...

This January, I've been challenging myself to review games in less than fifty words. I've been writing one review a week, and while I've posted a couple of these separately, I've decided to hold the remaining two back and post them all at o...

One of the benefits of Kickstarter is that it provides an avenue for games that would never see the light of day and which would be hastily shot down by the brandy-swilling residents of your average boardroom.  Aviary Attorney is one s...

It is a rare moment where I take issue with animu tropes. Really, really rare. If you talk to me about this kind of thing or read my blogs regularly enough, you probably know that already, but so we can be clear on this, and I admit it is l...

I'm a big fan of traditional or "true" survival horror, a genre that has been in increasingly short supply, with The Evil Within being the only notable release in the last few years; the horror genre itself seems to have largely moved onto...

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then Statues is a veritable love letter to Doctor Who's 'Weeping Angels'. This indie horror borrows heavily from the show's 'Blink' episode, where the protagonists were pursued by the Weeping ...

(Presented below is another guest review by my wife for Life is Strange –Episodes 4 and 5 that she originally wrote in two parts for her own blog. I’ve not actually played this game, but I’ve watched my wife play it and it seems excel...

After the release of the critically acclaimed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, hopes were high and anticipation through the roof for Naughty Dog’s next and final game in the PS3 trilogy. Yet, when Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception came out it ...

This month is my “Month of Uncharted” and I’ve mostly been playing through Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection; a series of remasters of the original Uncharted trilogy released on PS3 but now remade into 1080p and 60fps on PS4. Whi...

When Naughty Dog released the follow-up to Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune it was immediately met with critical acclaim, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves remains in the top ten lists of “Best Games…” for that generation of consoles. Consid...

Developer: Adventure IslandsPublisher: Adventure IslandsFormat: PC (browser/flash), Android Persist is yet another one of the many neat flash games I didn't enjoy when I first took interest and played it, and then later grew to understand a...

Well, we are finally past the initial launch titles of the NES and have moved on to the next wave of games.  June 1986 was a great time for gamers with an NES, especially if they liked Donkey Kong, since 4 different DK titles came out....

Before I begin, let me state that I heavily dislike the Monster Hunter series and games like it. However, I am still willing to give them a shot. I've tried Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate, and now I've tried Toukiden: Kiwa...

Price: £14.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 (On Steam) Platform: PC (See FAQ for spec this take you to my main blogsite) Review Bit: Firstly this review was written by me but in the interest of political correctness it has been run through ...

Pinball!  A launch game for the NES that I have owned for the NES, Gameboy and I think I played in Animal Crossing. I love that the cover of the game has mario (albiet in different colored clothing than his usual) running around with ...

Golf for the NES!  Because God knows that there wasn't enough sports games available for the NES at launch. So let's play this and see how it goes!  Hows the game look? So, you've got a husky looking version of John Daly, it see...

I recently finally got around to playing Shadow Of Mordor on a friends computer after hearing about how well liked it was. I found it compelling, and I proceeded to burn through it pretty quickly from meh start to disappointing end. How is...
