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.

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.

Let’s! Revolution! Review

Let's! Revolution! feels like a breath of fresh air.

Ultimate General: Gettysburg Review

There’s a high chance that you’ll find the controls of Ultimate General: Gettysburg to be a big issue; one that will affect your enjoyment of the game over its campaign running time. If you can see through that though, then this is a tightly focused game with some brilliant AI and battle tactics to be enjoyed.

Chants of Sennaar Review

In terms of a game, I don't think I've played anything like it. But Chants of Sennaar is also a great puzzling adventure; one set in a mysterious world. 

Running Fable Review

Cheap and cheerful, Running Fable isn’t one that will appeal to single players or those looking for narrative. It's all about hitting the mean online streets, having quick fun with others to see who comes out with bragging rights.

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate Review

This is chess… with a shotgun. Does it need any further selling?

Scarf Review

If you like your games to come with a slower, more relaxing pace, then Scarf will happily tick boxes.

Oceanhorn 2 – Knights of the Lost Realm Review

There is little that is truly original about Oceanhorn 2 - Knights of the Lost Realm. In fact, it could be classed as a budget Zelda game.

Potata: fairy flower – Xbox Series X|S Review

Potata: fairy flower has plenty to enjoy; a solid platformer that is both challenging and fun in the same breath. 

Bright Lights of Svetlov Review

If you want a quick lesson in history, Bright Lights of Svetlov could be the game you're looking for. 

Save Koch Review

Save Koch is a hard game to recommend. The random nature of the procedurally generated events in the city ensures you will want to take in multiple playthroughs, but even then, you may struggle to understand what is needed for success.

Venice 2089 Review

Venice 2098 has surprised in many ways.

EchoBlade Review

If you’re after something with a unique gameplay element then EchoBlade will be for you. It works well throughout, providing something different to a traditional dungeon crawler.

Insomnis Review

The developers know what they are doing and Insomnis is delivered with panache and style.

Dead Man’s Diary Review

It'll be the story and world that keep you going in Dead Man's Diary, even if things do get a bit familiar.

Sephonie Review

The ambition of Sephonie as an indie title is great and should be applauded.

Rain World: Downpour Review

It's probably best for newcomers to start from the beginning, if only to see if they can handle the challenge, but much like the base game, Rain World: Downpour is a bit of a gem
