Tom Powter reviews Klaus… Introspection is a rare thing to find in 2D side-scrolling platformers, a genre often characterised by the silent protagonist. Yet, Klaus, from indie developer LaCosa Entertainment, thrives on introspection, as its plot is fuelled by the often inquisitive thoughts of its playable character, who has just awoken in a mysterious, dingy […]
Video Game Review – The Escapists: The Walking Dead
Andy Naylor reviews The Escapists: The Walking Dead… By now everyone knows what The Escapists is about, (in case you don’t know) it’s a cutesy retro puzzle game with an addiction level that borders on worrying. The latest incarnation of it has team-ed (sorry) the game with the mammoth The Walking Dead TV franchise, so […]

Video Game Review – Wondershot
Scott Watson reviews Wondershot… Wondershot takes me back. It takes me back to Friday nights with my mates, a PlayStation, a multi-tap, some beers and a ton of fun. The fact that it draws to mind these nights of local co-op fun brings a smile to my face. It plays on my nostalgia. It reminds […]

Video Game Review – Dying Light : The Following
Kris Wall reviews Dying Light: The Following… Every now and again, a game comes along that completely takes you by surprise and Dying Light was that game for me in 2015. After Dead Island, I wasn’t expecting much from Dying Light, which carried on through my first few hours with the game, a grueling and […]
Comic Book Review – Sex Criminals #14
Jessie Robertson reviews Sex Criminals #14… If you’ve never read Sex Criminals, don’t let anything stop you: the title of the book, the independent label, the non-superhero context, none of it matters. It’s at times, sometimes simultaneously the most real and unreal book out there on the market. I first picked up this book a […]
