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.

Labyrinthine Review 

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. 

Commandos: Origins Review

Commandos: Origins is a welcome return for the series after a lengthy absence, and it should please long time fans and newcomers alike, providing they are up to the challenge.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition Review

If you can forgive RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition its rough edges, a deep, engrossing game with plenty of content awaits you. 

Super Jagger Bomb 2: Go East Review

Super Jagger Bomb 2: Go East may not seamlessly gel together, but collecting bombs is a blast, for a time at least.

Next of Kin Review

Next of Kin is a simple game in many ways, but this doesn’t stop it from being a solid retro inspired, narrative driven mystery thriller.

Popotinho’s Adventures Review 

Popotinho’s Adventures is a distinctly average platformer which pulls on a meagre amount of tired and tested ideas from the genre.

Runny Bunny Review

Runny Bunny may not surprise or even impress you, but the combination of puzzle elements and the fact it’s a little demanding at times makes this a couple of hours of solid fun. Definitely more carrot than stick.

Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo Review

Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo is yet another by the numbers platformer.

Split Fiction Review

Split Fiction is a very special game.

Two Point Museum Review

Two Point Museum is arguably the best in the series yet, and keeps the hot streak going for the consistently brilliant sim series.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered Review

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered can’t quite match the line up of the first trilogy of games, but arguably offers a more varied package, even if at times the attraction is down to sheer curiosity and bemusement.

Exclusive Interview with Peter Connelly: The Man Behind Tomb Raider and Lara’s Music

Join us as we sit down for an exclusive interview with Peter Connelly, the man behind the iconic sounds of the Tomb Raider series.

Avowed Review

Avowed is a gripping, utterly absorbing adventure that strikes a pleasing balance in the genre. Once picked up, it’s hard to put down.

STAR WARS: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles Review

STAR WARS: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is worth revisiting if you're after a trip down memory lane, however limited improvements prevent it realising its full potential.

Dance of Cards Review

Dance of Cards is a deeply enjoyable take on the iconic game of poker, which avoids folding under the pressure of its own ambition.

Railroads Online Review

Railroads Online is an unapologetically faithful train sim which, depending on your interest in the era, very much falls into the “marmite” category.

Becastled Review

The art style and core gameplay loop of Becastled are great.

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 Review

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.
