Siege Survival: Gloria Victis

It took 8 days for me to fail, well, that isn’t entirely true, I failed on the first 3 days and rolled the proverbial pebble that turns into a landslide. My hubris led me to think that things couldn’t get worse than they were but alas, they did, a combination of supply mismanagement and a serious lack of food meant that my main guy, Flint, died of starvation on Day 8 and another on day...[Read More]

The Uncertain – Light at the End

The Uncertain – Light at the End, is a continuation of the world “New Game Order” which was set up in “Last Quiet Day”. With one change being that we play from the viewpoint of Emily and her “friends” this time around. Although “fellow survivors” is perhaps the more appropriate term as everyone seems to hate one another. When the game begins we are introduced to “Emily” and “Park” as they sc...[Read More]

Eastern Exorcist

2020 has been a pretty shit year all round, racial tension in America, Donald Trump as President of America…well, just America in general really, the coronavirus wreaking havoc on the world and to top it all off the video games have been a bit of a let-down. I had all but resigned myself to the fact that I would just have to wait until November when Cyberpunk 2077 comes out (and it better come out...[Read More]

Journey To The Savage Planet

As I jumped my first platform across the blindingly vibrant landscape of planet AR-Y 26, I wondered why my space-suited and booted protagonist had made a noise that sounded more along the lines of a growl than an athletic grunt. Then I remembered, when the game opens and asks you to choose which image from a selection of eight best represents you, seven of which are people, I selected a dog. That ...[Read More]

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars

Paris in the fall… In 1998, Revolution Software gained a lifelong fan, after my chance discovery of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars. I first played Broken Sword on my brother’s PlayStation 1; I was just 9 years old, looking for a new game to play after completing Road Rash. My brother had bought a Help Charity pack, which included 3 games. Road Rash, Myst and none other than Broken Sword: Sha...[Read More]

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

First of all I must state that I’m not a huge Tim Burton fan; other than his two Batman movies I haven’t seen much else of his work. Not because his stuff doesn’t appeal to me, I’ve just never really watched much of it. However, this film feels different; almost like a new direction for Tim Burton. The story follows Jacob “Jake” Portman, a 16 year old boy who has been brought up ...[Read More]

King’s Quest Chapter 3: Once Upon A Climb

Right from the start, this episode already seems like it will be better than the second, in the first scene we get a mini puzzle, this one involving time travel, nicely explained away by our framing device of Grandpa telling his stories and forgetting a bit of it. When we get to the present we’re now following a Graham in the prime of his life, again, a few years after the events of the last...[Read More]

Broforce

If you had to explain the definition of subtle, you would not use Broforce to do so. It’s loud, angry, gory and even the women are manly (bro-men if you will). Even while writing this review, I had to have early Metallica hits like ‘Hit the Lights’ and ‘Ride the Lightning’ to maintain the testosterone levels and post-game erection. This is a perfect love letter to action mo...[Read More]

Kings Quest: Episode 2

In Kings Quest: Rubble Without a Cause we pick back up with King Graham years after the events of episode 1, he has now taken the throne but is finding it harder than he thought it was going to be.

Outlast

Okay, so first off let me say I am new to horror games, I mean I played the original Resident Evil games but beyond that I’ve had no real experience with them. Well I recently upgraded my PC and was looking for something different and was recommended Outlast. I knew next to nothing about it and went in blind.

Ratchet and Clank

Take a walk down memory lane with the latest from the Ratchet & Clank series. Opening new doors for the average Gamer all the while keeping it's classic charm.
