Video Game Review – Dick Wilde
Shaun Munro reviews Dick Wilde… Bolverk Games’ Dick Wilde brings a distinctly Duck Hunt-esque experience to PSVR, and though it’s hardly overflowing with content, Aim controller owners in particular should be easily swayed by the no-nonsense allure of this slick arcade shooter. You are the preposterously-monikered lead character, hired to use your grand arsenal of weaponry to […]

Book Review – Nod by Adrian Barnes
