Zen Gaming — What is zen?
People play games for a variety of reasons. Some play them to fulfill fantasies of grandeur, others to blow off steam through some headshots. The reason that I play games nowadays is to relax, to achieve some zen in my chaotic head.
Jam Favorites: Bitsy Jam: Bees
There are a ton of game jams happening online at any point during the year. Many of these jams follow a theme and a timeframe, giving developers the challenge of creating a game within a specific jam’s restrictions. I am able to record…
Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition — Bail on the King baby

Gloomhaven — Gather Your Party

Atomicrops, all you need to know about the farming-roguelike hybrid
The bombs have fallen, everything is mutated to heck. But yet in Atomicrops you're strapped with a gun and a farm to tend. Bird Bath Games' Atomicrops has got more than just fruit and vegetables as collectables, objectives and currency — it…
Monster Boy & The Cursed Kingdom — Different but the same
Those first few scenes could have easily taken an hour what with me soaking in nostalgia. The level design, whilst again familiar to me, has been rendered in 4K with a great use of colour. The levels not only look great, and clean, but it’s…
Blair Witch — Off into the woods
There is some scope to explore, as the woods are fairly open, but the game has some tricks up its sleeve as you go on. As things progress, and the horror of the witch becomes more apparent, the forest becomes more confusing. There are…
