I have a confession to make: I love the Fast & Furious movies. Despite the fact that they have got sillier and sillier as time has gone by, quickly moving away from what the first film was, I still have a soft spot for them. So, anyway, what this preamble is leading up to is

Rockhead Games have recently released the cute-looking platform puzzler Starlit Adventures, featuring an adorable central pairing of Bo & Kikki, a little boy and a “Starlit” who’s best described as a rabbit with a star for a nose.

Ever since I first clapped eyes on Marble Madness back in the early-mid 1980s, I’ve been obsessed with the marble rolling puzzle platformer. That love grew ever more with multiple hours spent in the land of Kula World a decade or so later. And that in turn was complemented brilliantly by the arrival in my

When we first saw Grounded less than a year ago, the pitch was to adapt Obsidian’s signature RPG style into the survival genre. Having recently launched into Early Access on Steam and Xbox Game Preview (plus Game Pass), it’s currently much more of what you’d traditionally expect from the latter than it is influenced by

You may well have stumbled upon WarriOrb from Not Yet via the recent Xbox Summer Game Fest Demo event, or you might even have seen it rolling around on Steam after launch back in April. Wherever and whatever though matters little for WarriOrb is now available on Xbox One. And you should probably be considering

Nowadays we are living on the edge of technology, especially if you look at gaming with ray tracing, high resolutions, detailed textures, and more. In addition, game mechanics are full of more and more features, requiring much more investment to learn and advance. During my childhood in 80s, where the “computer game” term was still very

Some of the very best games have emerged from the indie scene over the years, and come 2021 we’ll be seeing another entry from a hugely exciting indie developer. Last Days of Lazarus is coming to Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, and with the history of the team behind it, this is one first

Whether you celebrate them or not, most of us know about these all-important festivities. Christmas, Easter, Oktoberfest, Thanksgiving and, most importantly, the Jeff Goldblum Day. Yes, that last one is an actual day in Pittsburgh. But there are other oddball celebrations, including those centred on pop-culture, like May the 4th celebrating the Star Wars Day

By their very nature, puzzlers tread a thin line – the thin line of frustration. Should a developer cross it, you can be sure they’ll find their players trudging through a world of confusion, thankful for when the end comes. What Amanita Design have done with Creaks though pretty much nails everything you could ever

Last year, Madmind Studio offered gamers a one-way ticket to Hell with Agony, which was pretty indicative of the overall experience in its title alone. Originally pitched as a survival, stealth horror game comparable to those like Outlast and Amnesia – just, you know, much worse – Agony is an overwhelming experience in every negative

On the 14th of September 2004, Fable was released to critical and commercial success by Lionhead Studios, a newly acquired Microsoft Studio.

Rushed, is the operative word that I am using to describe Rock of Ages 3. The whole experience from beginning to end, feels rushed. Compared to its predecessor, in almost every way it feels like a step down; from the big picture design to small annoyances. However, the core gameplay is so good that if

Unlike the Birdman’s games – or the one with actual birds in it – Skater XL is a serious and mostly authentic and grounded simulation of skateboarding and it innovates in a truly engrossing way with its nuanced and tricky two-stick control system. There have been times over the last several days when I’ve become

Fragments of the Source Wall, a solid barrier surrounding the Multiverse, are raining down on the island nation of Themyscira. The Amazon’s magnificent home is now dimensionally-patchworked as the multiverse they once knew is collapsing and merging around them.

What the world needs right now is another team-based PvP shooter, and luckily that’s exactly what Hi-Rez Studios have brought to the table with the release of Rogue Company. Now, as this game is currently in Early Access form, a review at this point would be premature, so what I’m hoping to do is give

Nowhere Prophet is a solo card game that borrows its foundations from popular card games like Magic: The Gathering and is set within the narrative pacing and RPG sensibilities of Dungeons & Dragons.

For anyone who’s ever watched a monster movie and thought “Hey, it would be pretty cool to be that monster,” the premise of Carrion is immediately appealing.
