Review | Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! Parts 1 & 2
“Right then lads!” I exclaim walking into the lounge, in my hand a bottle of beer. Three gentlemen, scruffy-looking ragamuffins I should say, look at me, turning their backs to the table they are sat at. “It’s time to go home.” I announce.…

Review | Death By Game Show
Death By Game Show pits you, a smart human at some point in the 26th century, against a bunch of droids that seem to have decided you’re too smart for humanity, and you’ve got to be separated as to lower the average IQ.

UmiharaKawase Shun is a SNES styled game which is, simply, about a girl with a fishing rod which can be used as a grappling hook, and also to battle, or avoid, gigantic, floaty land-fish before the timers out.
Review | Dungelot: Shattered Lands
Cast your mind back to the years of Windows 98. Remember the game, Minesweeper? Merge that game with a dungeon crawler game. Now imagine if they had got busy and had a kid… struggling? No worries, because Dungelot: Shattered Lands will show…
Review | Blood Alloy: Reborn
Blood Alloy: Reborn is a game that doesn’t give you enough time for a break to have a breather. It’s a game with flying space flies, and a game with a constant stream of death. Sounds like a hella load of fun to me!
Review | Deathsmiles
Deathsmiles is a game that pretty much redefines the shoot-em-up genre, at least in terms of difficulty. It’s one of the most outgoing, and mystifying Shmup’s I’ve laid my eyes on. There no time to blink, the Game Over screen features a…
Review | The Flame in the Flood
The Flame in the Flood may be another survival game, but it offers a more artistic approach, a different perspective, and a beautiful soundtrack, the river is a tough ride, but the survival elements are well thought out.
Op Ed | The Mod Dawn of War 2 Needed
Mods, a very scary term used in the gaming world. Fret not though, for this mod for Dawn of War II that I’m about to go into will not be about turning all of your units into bacon sandwiches, or letting you play as He Man.
Review | Blackwell 1: Legacy
Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved those pixellated, point-and-click adventure games, such as “Simon The Sorcerer” or “Monkey Island”. Hours of fun would be spent trying to solve riddles, or puzzles; so it’s a surprise to me that I’ve…
Review | Blackwell 2: Unbound
So here it is, the second instalment of the series, Blackwell 2: Unbound, and I’m wiggling my fingers in anticipation to have a good follow up game running on my iPhone. The last episode was good, a touch short, but it was good.…
Review | Blackwell 3: Convergence
The previous two games have been fantastic, with improvements being made to both gameplay and graphics, and with both of these improvements actually making the game better rather than worsening it, it’s a delight to play.
Review | Blackwell 4: Deception
In the reviews of the previous entries in the series I’ve almost always opened with comments on how the art style has updated, Blackwell: Deception is the first game where it is simply refined, rather than leapt forward.
Review | Blackwell 5: Epiphany
And so it is here, Blackwell 5: Epiphany.

Editorial | The Timeline of Gaming Consoles (Part 1)
It’s no lie that gaming consoles are a huge part of modern society, and it’s also no lie that the progression of them has been nothing more than impressive, in fact, The Timeline of Gaming Consoles is really rather impressive
Review | Spacejacked
“Oh look another endless turret game” I think to myself as I jump into the first level. I wonder how many times I can kill the one, same enemy and not get bored. I put the game on just after I had put my dinner into the oven, with a few…
Review | Bezier
Imagine you put several tins of paint, some evil advanced AI and the hottest mix tape of the century all into a blender and turn that up to 11 while the lid is off.
