I am an actor and a writer. I act quite a bit on stage, a little bit on tv and never on tuesdays. I have had some of my writing published and have written for TV and stage. I have been playing games since they begun and don't seem to be getting any better.

SteamWorld Build Review

Perhaps you shouldn’t come to SteamWorld Build looking to pile in hundreds of hours, but this is an extremely likeable, bite-sized city creating adventure.

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Review

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a Metroidvania that comes with a heartwarming story, lovely visuals, and exciting gameplay.

Why you should you go building an interstellar homestead with Lightyear Frontier on Game Pass

One of the latest to go down the Game Preview and Game Pass route is that of Lightyear Frontier, a game that takes farming sim elements but puts it into space.

The Mildew Children Review

If you are a fan of intrigue in your stories then The Mildew Children will be well up your street.

Deliver Us Mars Review

There are times when Deliver Us Mars feels a bit rough around the edges, and the platforming and climbing mechanics don’t work as well as they should. But ultimately this is about the story it tells.

The Redress of Mira Review

I very much like the work of Tonguç Bodur, especially the strange puzzle walking sim experiences. There are bits of that found in The Redress of Mira but other gameplay mechanics let it down somewhat.

Hogwarts Legacy Review

A game for all the ages, there’s a ton of content included so take out your wand, put on your most magical of hats, and go and enjoy the thrills of Hogwarts Legacy. 

Fashion Police Squad Review

Fashion Police Squad will certainly make you think twice about what you are wearing when you leave the house.

Drawing on the medieval artworks of Inkulinati via Xbox, Game Pass and Game Preview

If you search through the most medieval of artworks, as we all like to do on a Sunday morning, then you might come across something quite odd - pictures of rabbits and dogs wielding weapons in battle, hunting.

Backfirewall_ Review

Backfirewall_ is a wonderful game; one that is highly original and full of creativity.

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey Review

I have loved the idea of Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey; the storytelling and writing are surprising, engaging, and well-executed.

Startup Company Console Edition Review

If you’re a fan of a sim experience then you will get a whole load of enjoyment from Startup Company Console Edition.

Darkwood Xbox Series X|S Review

There may not be any new content on offer and the upgrade of Darkwood to Xbox Series X|S may focus on some shiny visuals and quicker loading times, but if you are new to the game then this is a great version to jump into. 

She Wants Me Dead Review

She Wants me Dead is a hard platformer, but it's a very engaging and quite addictive one

Trenches Review

Trenches is a short but good little horror experience. It plays with an interesting premise and setting, mixing horror, fantasy and reality.

Starsand Review

It’s certainly worth considering slapping the suncream on, jumping on your camel and heading out to see what Starsand has lurking under the sand. 

Beholder 3 Review

Even though you’ll have a good time with Beholder 3, you may well find that it becomes a little bit too samey after a while.

Rooten Review

Perfectly priced, Rooten may well entice those looking for an atmospheric narrative, enjoying the interesting, dark story that then plays out.  

Blacktail Review

Blacktail is not an easy game, with some tricky combat situations and big boss battles, but it’s a game that allows Focus Entertainment to end their great year on a high.
