REVIEW: Zombie Kidz Evolution
Zombie Kidz Evolution is a sequel to the 2013 board game Zombie Kidz. The basic premise is similar – co-operate with other players to lock all entry points on the board while moving around and taking out zombies – but there’s a big twist this…
REVISIT: God Of War (2005)
With the anniversary of last year’s smash hit God of War 4 (you heard me), I wanted to go back and replay the original game in the series. The one that started it all. Numero uno. Ye olde one. God of War. So let’s talk…
REVIEW: Darkest Hunters
I’ve always loved the fantasy genre; I remember being utterly entranced by swords and sorcery at a very early age – no doubt fuelled by the pop culture renaissance that occurred across a variety of media, following the rise of Dungeons & Dragons as a…
REVIEW: The Walking Dead: Michonne
OK let’s start with the elephant in the room. Yes, the game I’m about to review was released back in Spring 2016 – an almost unrecognisable world where Cap and Iron Man were yet to even fall out and I, along with many others, still…
REVIEW: Awesome Pea
There’s a cutesy retro look to Awesome Pea that somewhat belies its nature as a super-tough, unforgiving platformer. With the default graphical settings making the game look like a monochrome Game Boy game, albeit with a distorted CRT filter (the CRT filter can be removed,…
REVIEW: Dustoff Heli Rescue II
Strongly evoking memories of 80s arcade classic Choplifter, which saw players controlling a helicopter rescuing POWs from various side-scrolling warzones – and which had a number of outstanding computer and console ports too – Dustoff Heli Rescue II is a game that should be immediately…
REVIEW: Box Align
Sometimes, puzzle games can be a little too complicated for their own good; layering on not just mechanics but also overly complicated menus or design elements. There’s a very pleasing minimalism to Box Align, a puzzle game by QUByte Interactive. Upon starting the game, you’re…
REVIEW: Undead’s Building
Zombies eh? It feels like only yesterday that I was complaining that they were everywhere. Then as if to prove my point, here comes another game featuring the undead, flesh-eating antagonists. Thankfully, Undead’s Building isn’t your typical zombie game. Rather than taking them on directly…
REVIEW: Devil May Cry 5
SAVAGE!!! roars out from my TV as I pull off a flurry of hard-hitting combos to the many demons that are occupying my display. As I hurl a scythe-wielding skull-faced monster to the roof of a root infested hotel room, a smile creeps onto my…
REVIEW: Quake Champions
Note: This game is in Early Access and is still under development. The Quake series holds a special place in my heart. Quake III Arena, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, was one of the first games I remember playing on my old family PC….
