Goosebumps: Dead of Night is broken into three stages. The first has you sneaking around Stine’s home, avoiding monsters and collecting the lost pages, followed by a jaunt through a conservatory to collect potion ingredients, culminating in…

Look, I have been playing demos of Radical Rabbit Stew for absolute ages. I can get through the entire first world in so little time, beating the first boss and moving into the greater campaign in my sleep. However, now that the game is…

Grab your overalls, we’re going farming. Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a 3D remake of the classic Game Boy Advance game Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town bringing a much-needed refresh while staying true to the original.

The real meat of the game is in the missions which are a turn-based grid affair, and are oh so enjoyable to play! Characters have a set of action points (AP), usually 100, used for moving and attacking. You’ll have your Daughters dashing…

Summer in Mara successfully imitates the dream of living in a tropical paradise, a potentially stereotypical view that the Caribbean-like way of life is one of relaxing, sun-filled days with very little worry or concern entering the fray.

I’ve always been a fan of the humble point and click adventure, but in recent years, it hasn’t felt enough to deliver the same tried-and-tested gameplay that made this genre so popular during the nineties. Beholder 2 is essentially a point…

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling tells the saga of a misfit gang of three bugs with a huge adventure in front of them. Using the traditional Paper Mario visual style and fighting mechanics, it manages to both replicate the classic game…

If you can tolerate Project Warlock’s issues as I could, then you’ll be in for a brilliant throwback game that deserves attention. Great soundtrack, great visuals, and great combat, just let down by some technical issues. 

Graphically the style forgoes the ultra-clean, high-resolution approach seen in other recent platformers, but instead utilises a hand-drawn effect and a somewhat faded palette reminiscent of early 1950’s cartoons and put to good effect in…

Music can conjure up far more than memories, as Across the Grooves' protagonist Alice learns when she listens to an old gift from a long lost lover.

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…

Evan's Remains is a gorgeous pixel puzzle-platformer that boasts an intriguing storyline.

Golf is great in theory, but awful in practice — you get obscenely rich people playing on giant waste of space, discussing who knows what in between swings. This is why golf games are great — the same idea with no space used and no rich…

When I saw Spongebob Square Pants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, I instantly recognised the game. I was suddenly thrown back to memories of my younger brother, gliding around on Patrick or Spongebob’s tongue, hitting tikis and…

I didn’t go camping much as a kid. I remember going during a handful of summers with a friend of mine from school. We’d do all the camping things — talk with her dad, cook in a fire, explore the camp. Wide Ocean Big Jacket perfectly…

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;…

Huntdown successfully emulates the gritty ultra-violence of the late eighties and early nineties cinema scene with an excellent electro futuristic soundtrack that accentuates the run and gun gameplay

It’s not easy being the “new guy” in the Fighting Games Community. Most of the games played are already established throughout multiple releases with fans not willing to switch to other titles. Fly Punch Boom is in a hard position, but just…

You take on the role of Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison as she attempts to take down Dr. Heskel, an evil scientist who has released a horde of cybernetic soldiers into the city of Neo D.C. That’s about as much plot as you’re getting.
