Dan Slott insists on being here every month, and that counts for something. This is meat and […]

Video Game Review – ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove
Shaun Munro reviews ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove… There are few video games more emblematic of the 1990s than Mega Drive cult classic ToeJam & Earl, an early entry into the roguelike genre which dropped players into the sneakers of two alien rappers after they crash-land on Earth. This Kickstarter-funded “sequel”, effectively a re-imagining […]

Video Game Review – Ape Out
Shaun Munro reviews Ape Out… It’s nigh-on impossible for any ultra-violent top-down trial-and-error shooter not to be endlessly compared to Hotline Miami these days – especially when it’s also published by Devolver Digital. But beyond this superficial if not entirely insignificant similarity, Ape Out carves out a slickly singular identity that’s very much its own. Agreeably thin on plot, […]
