Have you ever found yourself in a strange place, alone and lonely? Even though you know that the world is just as weird and strange as anybody might find you, you just can't seem to connect with others. In Birth the solution is simple, to…

If you asked me to take the mythos and style of the legendary Thief games (excluding the crap 200X remake) and build an isometric Desperados style stealth game out of it, I’d bite your hand off at the chance to see the outcome. And so here…

I really liked how the action selection element of Tiny Epic Pirates worked, as you always had plenty of choices to make and a variety of ways to earn money. Moving quickly around the wheel allows you to do exactly what you want if you’re…

When it comes to Xbox Controllers or controllers designed specifically for use with Xbox, we have had a look at a few, especially those from Nacon. They tend to put out affordable and useful controllers that have a variety of different…

Pandemic Hot Zone North America is a smaller, standalone version of Pandemic, complete with a lot of the same concepts, but on a smaller scale, so you can play a bite-sized version. This game is for two to four players, working together, to…

By Christ, this is a good one. I was more or less raised by Gothic literature, as a precocious/pretentious kid, from Poe to Shelley, to later works by Stephen King and Shirley Jackson. The haunted house story is practically engraved in my…

Sometimes a game comes along and it's boiled down tropes into something so simple that it almost seems brand new, but then you blink and realise that what you're looking at is closer to the point of origin for the whole thing. Ozymandias…

Ninja Burger is a game that has been out for quite some time. It’s aged, but is still a very fun game that can be enjoyed! Our group had never played Ninja Burger before, so we took a swing at this three to six player dice rolling card game…

Sometimes you get to play a game so ostensibly intriguing, so fully singular in it’s identity and style you just have to sit back a bit and go “games really are amazing.” Cosmic Top Secret, a highly personal, autobiographical game where you…

Jump from shadow to shadow as a Schim, a shadow-surfing frog, in the cool 3D puzzle game of the same name. I don't know about you, but with me there are games that simply keep cropping up. You spot them early in development and then they…

I both love and hate games like Per Aspera. I love the deep, complex simulation that comes with such games, and in this case, I love the rich and interesting story about an increasingly sentient AI called AMI. But, I hate how hundreds of…

All this may sound a little complicated, but for each game I’ve played with different groups, everyone managed to get to grips with play by the end of the first round. The board looks busy, but most things are fairly clear, and whilst you…
