Darren Edwards

I have been playing games since a very early age, thanks to my Dad's encouragement. I've been an Xbox gamer since the very beginning, the Master Chief is to thank for that. I'm also a big Nintendo geek, and my other half is a PlayStation nut. I'll play pretty much anything in any genre (although FIFA and COD maybe pushing it).

007 First Light Review 

007 First Light is a triumph. It has a legitimate claim to the best James Bond game ever, managing to reboot the series whilst cherishing what makes it so special. It’s the start of a new era for Bond, which will leave you shaken, not stirred.

inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories Review

inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories is a heartwarming, often mundane, tale of connection and perspective. In many ways it's exactly what an indie game should be.

Pinball FX – Williams Pinball Volume 10 Review

Pinball FX - Williams Pinball Volume 10 revives three more tables from the archives, with each given the usual treatment. This collection is a little weaker than some of those which have come before, despite the excellent Diner standing out.

Why The Super Mario Galaxy Games Are The Best In The Series

The vast majority believe that Super Mario 64 is the best adventure featuring the mustached plumber. I just so happen to disagree.

Shooty McSpaceFace Review

Shooty McSpaceFace is very much typical of the genre; you’ll likely have seen it all before. However, for the reasonable asking price, there’s an hour or two of solid platforming fun on offer here.

REPLACED Review 

REPLACED is an ambitious action adventure platformer which opts for hand-crafted pixel art, but that takes nothing away from how utterly absorbing it is.

Halo: Cryptum is a great read and despite kicking off a trilogy, the book doesn’t necessarily end on a cliffhanger, but it does move the pieces into position, setting up incredibly significant and cataclysmic events to come.

Pinball FX – Bethesda Pinball Review

Pinball FX - Bethesda Pinball is the latest set in a long line of enjoyable tables added to the expanding library. Some may feel it is a little pricey, but if you’ve enjoyed Pinball FX previously, or looking for a place to start, this is as good a place as any to get stuck in. 

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE Review 

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE improves on a cult classic in so many ways. Although one poorly thought out decision holds it back, this remains one of the best examples of its genre.

One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 7 Review

One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 7 is not one of ABA Games and m1s3ry’s finest. I’d love to say that V Bomb saves it - a clutch win from the fifth game in the list - but it’s too little, too late.
