Stunt casting famous actors used to be a proven strategy for any game publisher that wanted to get more eyes on their respective titles. It was all the rage in the noughties, with star-studded blockbusters like The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Fallout 3, True Crime: Streets of LA, Fable II, Brutal Legend […]
Video Game Review – Resident Evil Village: The Winters’ Expansion
Harrison Abbott reviews Resident Evil Village: The Winters’ Expansion… Resident Evil Village tied up most of its loose ends, with an explosive climax that seemed to definitively put the “Winters Family Saga” to bed. Father, mother and child were all reunited in the third act, we at long last discovered how Ethan managed to survive […]
Video Game Preview – The Devil in Me
Harrison Abbott previews The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me… Believe it or not, The Dark Pictures Anthology has been around for almost half a decade. Its debut title, The Man of Medan, was announced way back in August 2018 and, upon reflection, that might as well be a totally different world to the […]
Locomotive horror Choo-Choo Charles reveals release date with new trailer
A new trailer has debuted for oddball indie horror title Choo-Choo Charles, showing off its quirky gameplay and, at long last, pinning down a firm release date.

Video Game Review – Kao the Kangaroo
Harrison Abbott reviews Kao the Kangaroo… It might be painfully self-evident, but a mascot platformer ought to have a decent mascot. Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog and, more recently, Captain Astro Bot are all great examples of this, on account of their distinct visual designs and likeable, albeit simplistic, personalities. None of them are particularly deep […]
Video Game Preview – Ghostwire: Tokyo
Harrison Abbott previews Ghostwire: Tokyo…. The near adjacent releases of Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring (a pair of titles that are diametrically opposed in many ways) have ignited a fierce debate about the design principles for open-world games. To give you the short version, one camp believes that everything ought to be neatly packaged […]
TV Review – Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.
Harrison Abbott reviews Hulu’s Marvel animated series M.O.D.O.K…. Without context, you’d be forgiven for dismissing M.O.D.O.K as nothing more than a Robot Chicken clone overlaid with Marvel theming. After all, it shares many core features with the long-running sketch series, including a penchant for lampooning movies, scatological humour, a few members of the voice cast, […]
Exclusive Interview – Frontier Developments talk Planet Zoo’s Southeast Asia Animal Pack
Harrison Abbott talks with Frontier Developments about Planet Zoo’s Southeast Asia Animal Pack… Although they have dabbled in a few other genres (including party games and space exploration MMOs), the bread and butter for Cambridge-based team, Frontier Developments, is surely the management sim. Ever since the early 2000s, they’ve been enabling people to realise their […]
Video Game Review – El Hijo – A Wild West Tale
Harrison Abbott reviews El Hijo – A Wild West Tale… Within the sphere of indie gaming, there are a number of tried and tested genres that rarely. You know, those durable fan-favourites like the pixel-art platformer, the bastard-hard roguelike, and, of course, the ever-dependable: ‘’minimalist adventure about a big-headed child surviving hostile environments’’. For reference […]
