Spider-Man: Miles Morales
It’s important to mention that Spider-Man, along with Batman, is my favourite comic book hero, and not just because he’s popular but for so many other reasons, so you could bet your bottom dollar I was going to own this game at release, and not just because it was part of a bundle which was the only means that GAME would sell a PS5. A favourable coincidence to say the least, and a chance for me to...[Read More]
Demon Souls: Remake
As a veteran of the Soulsborne games, a proud gamer and stubborn bastard, I had to buy Demon’s Souls and get stuck into it, I just had to. Ignoring the fact that the PS5 was released and I wanted a PS5 game to go with it, besides the other 3 I bought; I also wanted a fresh taste of a Souls game. You see, Dark Souls was my first entry into the franchise, so for me this isn’t just a lick of paint an...[Read More]
King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match
KoF 2002: Unlimited Match is a remake of the KoF 2002 game released way back in, well 2002, but with updated features, new layouts and what may be additional characters. I never played the original, and I’m not very familiar with the KoF franchise beyond playing a few rounds with some friends back in my days of youth. Still, I’m always up for some 2D slobber knocker action, past or present, just s...[Read More]
Gunsmith
The clue to the game is in the name, we get to make guns and other accessories in the bloody world of arms dealing. So playing as Tony Stark before his life-changing abduction after a weapons showcase in the Middle-East, but with a lot less pizazz, and starting capital, and everything else that resembles Tony Stark, the aim to start up a business, make wise investments, complete orders and build a...[Read More]
Hammerting
Ok, so there is no actual contract to speak of, but I imagine it would be a very one-sided document. Hammerting is brought to us by the same publishers of the famous Worms series, Team 17, and is already recognizable with a similar core design. This new game is a mining sim, with some additional elements from the RPG genre such as stat management and requires the player to manage a team of miners ...[Read More]
Our Thoughts on the PS5
I’ll say nothing on the terrible launch, because I don’t want to reach the end of the supposedly infinite word count, so this will only contain the detail of the PS5 itself, as a product. Fuck it’s marketing. There, I’m glad I got that out of my system, so now I’ll focus on this brand-new gaming system instead. To keep a long story short, the PS5 is a fantastic machine and more than lives up...[Read More]
Jude’s Ghastly Games List
It’s back to this time of the year where the dark denizens of the night roam the streets, mindlessly sucking out the souls of everyone around them, or as we would call it, a typical day in Northern Ireland. Halloween is upon us, and along with the spooky themes of pumpkins, witches, ghosts and Arlene Foster, there is a nice selection of games that help us get in the mood. That’s what we all do, ri...[Read More]
Partisans 1941
Fighting on the eastern front, or more specifically Russia, is a group of resistance fighters that are clad in the typical brown overcoats you would expect from the stereotypical freedom fighters. From within Russia’s version of Sherwood Forest, we plan our raids against Nazi bases, and generally try to piss off the big man with the toothbrush moustache as much as possible. We are the brave souls ...[Read More]
Space Crew
For anyone that doesn’t know, Space Crew is a crew management game, where the player is in control of a space vessel and the little Minecraft-looking crew members. Each little dude, or dudette, sits at a station and has a purpose, and my job is to issue commands to each of them, so they are expected to carry out their tasks in order to complete the objectives and return safely to their families…ye...[Read More]
As Far As The Eye
My job now, is to manage the journey of a tribe of adorable little animal things, as they travel to safety, staving off their hunger by farming for food, improving their structures through crafting, preparing for events and running away from large volumes of water. I am the wind that will push these little animals towards the only safe haven during this event, called the Eye. This is a turn-based ...[Read More]
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind
Having played the first few levels, I think I have grasped enough of the mechanics and gameplay to decide if it’s worth playing through, and it wasn’t too bad, but at the same time it isn’t what I would have asked for in a game about gangsters in post-WW1 England. The TV show, which streams on Netflix and is on its fifth season, is filled with sly tactical decisions, discretion, gang violence and ...[Read More]
Ghost of Tsushima
I never allowed myself to get too excited for this, and I kept my expectations low because I never imagined I would have every single box ticked for my dream game. Sucker Punch, just like the name applies, caught me right off guard from the moment I first started up until my wife made me put the controller down so we could “watch something we both like”. This game, for me and many others, has bee...[Read More]
