From unboxing his Spectrum through to starting to introduce his kids to the latest gaming platforms, Alex has always had a passion for video gaming with a particular focus on RPG's, Metroidvania platforming and One on One Fighters.
Cardaclysm starts when the local Sorcerer meddles with a summoning book and tries to enslave four magical beings to his will, he underestimates their power and releases them onto an unsuspecting world
Hellpoint — Imitation Game
There’s enough differentiation in the formula to keep genre fans occupied but quality issues may put players off repeat playthroughs despite the customisation options available to them
Little Town Hero — System Overload
Little Town Hero has one of the (if not the most) complex battle systems around today. It’s not a pick up and play sort of game and many Pokemon players drawn to Game Freak’s new RPG will likely walk away due to both difficulty and…
Drake Hollow — Great on the outside, hollow in the centre
The titular Drakes are less dragon in appearance and more vegetable (being based on Mandrake roots) and have a Tamagotchi-like dynamic to them. That's what Drake Hollow is built around.

As with many games of its ilk, and in the vein of its predecessors, Shantae & the Seven Sirens has players advance through areas toward their goal but more often than not return several times across the story as new abilities unlock new…
Red Wings: Aces of the Sky — Arcade Dogfighting Action
Red Wings: Aces of the Sky closely follows the adventures of famous polish ace, the heroic Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen. Players have a choice of either joining his squadron in the Triple Alliance made up of Germany, Austria and Italy;…
Maneater — Apex Predator or Wet Fish ?
The world of Maneater is presented in a way similar to that in which Saints Row parodies Grand Theft Auto. It’s almost a caricature which accentuates its key points in order to keep the player entertained
