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).

Castle of Heart: Retold Review

Castle of Heart: Retold rounds off a few rough edges from the original. However, it remains a run of the mill platformer which, despite the intriguing affliction Svaran carries, does little else to innovate or differentiate.

Keeper Review

Keeper is a short, but very sweet, exquisitely crafted experience which relaxes, intrigues, impresses and delights at every turn. This is about as relaxing as gaming gets, and I loved it.

If Labyrinthine’s main aim is to scare, it’s mission accomplished.

Mamorukun ReCurse! Review

Mamorukun ReCurse! is a solid shooter with plenty of charm appeal thanks to its Japanese heritage. Although it’s not the best example of the genre, it is very appealing to have the opportunity to play this cult arcade hit.

Platypus Reclayed Review

0
Platypus Reclayed really is impressive on every front. Far from being style over substance, it’s an immensely satisfying, yet challenging, shoot 'em up experience.

ZOE Begone! Review 

0
ZOE Begone! is a wonderfully created but brutally difficult SHMUP, that despite looking cute and cuddly, will challenge even the most adept players.

Candylands Journey Review

0
Candylands Journey is a solid, plucky platformer which does enough to keep your interest, even if you’ve seen it all before.

Metal Eden Review

0
Metal Eden may have clear inspiration, but emerges as an enjoyable adventure in its own right which unfolds at a breakneck pace.

Inspector Waffles Early Days Review

0
Inspector Waffles Early Days is a short, sweet love letter to a different era of gaming. Perhaps as a result of aiming to be wholly true to the time, it also comes with familiar limitations.

Halo: Broken Circle – Book Review

0
Despite Halo: Broken Circle being a stand alone story, John Shirley ties the events of this book to the video games sometimes subtly, but skilfully throughout.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants Review

0
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants is bittersweet. Despite getting almost everything right, as did the base game, it’s hard not to feel short changed by the time the credits roll. Let’s pray Indy’s not about to hang his whip up anytime soon.

Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids Review

0
You may be tempted to look the other way but don’t, because underneath the somewhat cheesy exterior of Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids is a highly entertaining and accessible strategy action hybrid.

Two Point Museum: Fantasy Finds Review

0
Two Point Museum: Fantasy Finds is a great addition to an already brilliant game, even though it sticks closely to the original script. Well, they do say if it ain’t broke… 

Out of Moves: Another Try Review

0
Out of Moves: Another Try does little to expand on the original game, albeit by offering a new set of levels. However, the core puzzle mechanic is simple but enjoyable, making it worth another go.

Kill the Brickman Review

Kill the Brickman’s attempt to add a roguelike to a brick-breaker is an inventive idea, but not the best execution of it. It lacks the complexity of a properly good roguelike and is hampered by some poor controls and shallow gameplay. There is fun to be had, but only in small doses.

The Outer Worlds 2 is as good as the original game, and dare I say even a little bit better.

Amanda the Adventurer 2 Review

I didn't think I needed another Amanda the Adventurer game in my life, but I am so glad Amanda the Adventurer 2 came along, as it successfully takes the core experience from the first game and progresses it further in meaningful ways.
