I previously only played Street Fighter V for a few hours upon launch and I wasn’t impressed. I’m not a massive online fan so the lack of any single-player content put me off and I quickly resold it to try and regain some of my…
Railway Empire is the latest resource management/simulation/strategy game published by Kalypso Media – they love this genre and I love them for doing so. Not only this, the developers of the game are Gaming Minds Studios – to those who aren’t familiar with their work, they…
2017 was my favourite year for the PS4 so far, there were so many amazing games that I instantly fell in love with. I’m a massive JRPG fan and 2017 brought us gems such as; Nights of Azure 2, Kingdom Hearts collection remasters, NieR: Automata,…
Have you ever seen films where a car gets stuck in the mud and you see the tires furiously spinning around, spitting mud all over the place yet moving nowhere? Upon seeing this did you ever think to yourself, “That’s easy, anyone could get out…
If you follow me on Twitter then you will know how much I love resource management, simulation and strategy games. For example, next week I have my review of Railway Empire going live (as well as a bunch of videos already on Youtube) and my most…
I’ll be honest here, I own L.A. Noire on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC yet I’ve never played it until now. I didn’t not play it for any particular reason, I just saw it as a game which would need me to invest a…
I love a good puzzle, give me sudoku or a picross puzzle and I’ll hand it back to you completed within a matter of minutes as I like to think I have a logical mind and can easily overcome any problem thrown my way. Imagine…

What games did you play with your family over Christmas? Charades? Monopoly? Maybe even it’s Quiz Time? I went to my parents and we played all of the above plus one more which took centre stage for a few reasons, VR the Diner Duo from…
I only purchased one piece of new tech in 2017 which is strange as I usually jump on all new devices as soon as they become available. However, the new tech I bought was something I had owned once before, PSVR. When I initially purchased…
Beholder: Complete Edition is clearly inspired by dystopian works such as 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, it places you within a totalitarian state as the appointed landlord for an apartment building. There are a lot of moral choices which appear throughout the game yet every single ‘problem’ can…
I think it’s fair to say that a lot of people have been on the fence about VR over the last 12 months, is it worth investing into a VR headset device or are there only ‘experiences’ available for it? I have nothing against the…
Yakuza, Nier, Persona and Gravity Rush are all considered ‘niche’ titles – a few of them might not be anymore but at the beginning of last year they were. The vast majority of people wouldn’t have known much about them if you asked them to…
Back in the early 2000s, there were three games I played constantly on my Gameboy Advance; The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Final Fantasy Tactics and Advance Wars. The latter of which and its sequel, Black Hole Rising, would keep me company as I…

A few years back, if an indie title came out and it was; artistic, drained of colour or silent, then you knew you were in for something different, something exciting. Nowadays, we have a shed-load of titles that fit within this description due to the…
I have many fond memories of the Xbox 360 era; it was the first time I played a Dynasty Warriors game, the first time I ever played online, and surprisingly the first time I had played a JRPG and really become emotionally attached and excited to…
Energy Invasion is the latest game from Sometimes You, a developer and publisher who has published a number of games in the last six months. The theme I get from the games they publish is ‘easy to play but hard to master’ as most of…
