I am an actor and a writer. I act quite a bit on stage, a little bit on tv and never on tuesdays. I have had some of my writing published and have written for TV and stage. I have been playing games since they begun and don't seem to be getting any better.

House Flipper 2 is an improvement, thanks to a fun campaign and various environments, areas and items.

Harold Halibut Review

Harold Halibut is a wonderfully creative endeavour.

Scott Whiskers in: the Search for Mr. Fumbleclaw Review

Scott Whiskers in: the Search for Mr. Fumbleclaw very much puts the heart back into point and click.

Loretta Review

For narrative lovers, Loretta is almost perfect.

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey Review

I have loved the idea of Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey; the storytelling and writing are surprising, engaging, and well-executed.

Startup Company Console Edition Review

If you’re a fan of a sim experience then you will get a whole load of enjoyment from Startup Company Console Edition.

Darkwood Xbox Series X|S Review

There may not be any new content on offer and the upgrade of Darkwood to Xbox Series X|S may focus on some shiny visuals and quicker loading times, but if you are new to the game then this is a great version to jump into. 

She Wants Me Dead Review

She Wants me Dead is a hard platformer, but it's a very engaging and quite addictive one

Trenches Review

Trenches is a short but good little horror experience. It plays with an interesting premise and setting, mixing horror, fantasy and reality.

Starsand Review

It’s certainly worth considering slapping the suncream on, jumping on your camel and heading out to see what Starsand has lurking under the sand. 

Beholder 3 Review

Even though you’ll have a good time with Beholder 3, you may well find that it becomes a little bit too samey after a while.

Rooten Review

Perfectly priced, Rooten may well entice those looking for an atmospheric narrative, enjoying the interesting, dark story that then plays out.  

Blacktail Review

Blacktail is not an easy game, with some tricky combat situations and big boss battles, but it’s a game that allows Focus Entertainment to end their great year on a high.

Afterglitch Review

Afterglitch is an experimental piece of gaming with strange mechanics, an obscure narrative, and trippy visual design.

Wavetale Review

Wavetale won't be everyone's cup of tea and some might find the tone too whimsical or childlike, but for others it’ll feel original, entertaining, and absorbing. That's what every game should aim for.

Hindsight Review

Hindsight is a brilliant examination of grief, and the moving on in life thereafter.

Saint Kotar Review

If you're a fan of point-and-click adventures then Saint Kotar might well fulfil your needs.

The Entropy Centre Review

If you love your puzzlers and adore what the likes of Portal can deliver to the gaming world, then you are going to love The Entropy Centre.

Somerville Review

Somerville is an important addition to our gaming diet. It’s not worried about pushing boundaries in terms of narrative structure or story, and never wants to guide the player too much, letting them find their own journey through a brilliant linear adventure.
