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).

Out of Moves: Another Try Review

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.

Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit Review

Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit represents a new reason to hop back in - and that was enough for me - but, what it does not represent is an entirely new experience. There are new bears, new stories, but you might be hunting the islands for a little more than that.

Realm of Ink Review

It’s blatantly clear that Hades fans will instantly speak the language of Realm of Ink, but it’s the way the game deviates from that language which makes it worth your time.

Snack and Quack Review

Snack and Quack will be too basic and thin for more refined puzzle fans, but anyone who has waded through Afil Games’ other titles will be pleasantly surprised with how diverting Snack and Quack is for an hour or two.

Damways Review

Damways nicely passed the time.

Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Review

As a party game online, Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is a completely different story.
