Experience the festival of your nightmares in Dead Island 2: SoLA

Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals. The latter being the chance to forget troubles of the real-world and just exist in a several day long party. But what if you annual pilgrimage to your festival of choice turns sour when say, the uninvited undead come and crash the party?

For fans of pinball, Smoots Pinball is a definite avoid. Even for younger gamers, arguably who the game is really pitched at, there still isn’t really much to recommend here.

Saw X – Film Review

Saw X feels much less like out and out torture porn and more like a solid horror film.

Don’t Suffer Writer’s Block in Alan Wake 2

Well, unless you’ve been living under a rock, one of the biggest games of the year is out today. And it just so happens to be the once fabled sequel: Alan Wake 2 is out today on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC.

VISCO Collection Review

If you recognise some of the titles on offer in VISCO Collection, then you may have a different experience. But I suspect much of that would come through the most rose-tinted of glasses.

An Iconic Series is Reborn in the METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1

METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 is out today on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Haunted House Review

Haunted House does a lot of roguelite things right, without straying too far from the formula.

Haunted Mansion – Film Review

Haunted Mansion runs out of steam way before the finale, but a lot of the things leading up to that are worthwhile.

Gloomhaven Review

Stick with it and Gloomhaven is a very rewarding experience.

Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace Review

Lacking the novel concepts of the first game, Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace feels very run-of-the-mill as a result.
