Rob is a teacher, a father, a husband and a gamer. He's been the latter for longer than the former 3 combined. Probably. He likes pretty much every genre, but puzzle platformers tend to upset his brain.

Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition – Match 3 magic

Rob Covell Nov 5, 2025 0

One of the selling points of Puzzle Quest was that it was a match-3 puzzle game with an RPG style plot, and whilst it certainly has that, it’s pretty standard fantasy fare with you having to save the kingdom from an evil lord and their…

Hecate G2000 Pro – Finally my games sound good!

Rob Covell Nov 1, 2025 0

I particularly liked the USB option though, as being connected to a PC allows you to make use of the downloadable app to tinker with all sorts of different sound settings. Whilst I won’t claim to have a clue what I’m doing, the inclusion is…

Tiny Bookshop – Add it to your library

Rob Covell Oct 30, 2025 0

You need to pay attention to what sells in each venue, as this helps you determine what to put on your limited shelf space. Kids books tend to sell better at the beach, so making sure you have plenty on hand would be smart, whilst the pier…

Rob Covell Oct 22, 2025 0

If you played the likes of Warcraft or Command & Conquer back in the day, you’ll feel immediately at home. The controls are exactly what you’ll remember, from contextual right clicking to numbered control groups, everything feels like…

The concept of Whirly Derby is pretty simple. You each have a set of marbles of a single colour, you select a number of marbles to enter into a race and put them into a provided cardboard cup, then roll them into the circular tray. The…

Shuten Order – The power of god!

Rob Covell Oct 14, 2025 0

Playing as the founder of the titular Shuten Order, disaster strikes from the moment the game opens. You’ve been murdered, seemingly by one of the five leaders of the different ministries of your order. Lucky for you, you’ve been revived by…

Cyber Clutch – Neon sprint

Rob Covell Oct 7, 2025 0

Car designs are fabulous, and the tracks feel like bonkers cityscapes in a technology-gone-mad future and I really like how the art style comes together as something really fitting for the type of game the devs are going for.

Parking World – Not a space game

Rob Covell Oct 1, 2025 0

Once you have an idea on how to get everything working, this can be quite fun to mess around with. You start by laying out a ground floor using foundations on which you can put parking spaces. That’s not enough though, as cars need to be…

Edifier R1 – Open your ears

Rob Covell Sep 27, 2025 0

Whilst the Edifier R1 feels a little odd at first, it doesn’t take long for you to stop noticing that you have them on, and it was only when I went to adjust them that I realised where they were positioned. Equally, they’re surprisingly…
