Scott Watson reviews 88 Heroes… I reckon Dr H8 has been watching far too many 80’s action movies, either that or he’s a big fan of Dr Evil. The plot to Bitmap Bureau and Rising Star Games latest release is the kind of straight up insane plot you would expect the main bad guy of […]
Video Game Review – Sniper Elite 4 DLC Deathstorm Part 1: Inception
Scott Watson reviews Sniper Elite 4 DLC Deathstorm Part 1 Inception… We’ve had a good old-time playing Sniper Elite 4 here at Flickering Myth. It’s been an organic and expansive addition to the series that has built and improved on everything coming before it. You can read our original thoughts on its release here before we delve […]
Video Game Review – Yooka-Laylee
Scott Watson reviews Yooka-Laylee… Is it cool to say this is gloriously retro? Is it far enough back in gaming history, that we can class a game that has its heart, soul and roots in the superb platforming spectacles of the N64 era as retro? You know what, screw the retro, Yooka-Laylee is platforming glory […]
Video Game Review – Sniper Elite 4
Scott Watson reviews Sniper Elite 4… The Sniper Elite series has been on the go since 2005, with an impressive 10 million plus units shifted since Rebellion first brought it to console and PC. It may have been around for the best part of 12 years, but Sniper Elite 4 is my first introduction to […]
Video Game Review – Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix
Scott Watson reviews Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix… This will be a race to remember! Racers start your engines! From there sadly, Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix is nothing but a hard, frustrating and infuriating lesson in how not to make a racing game. OK, look, this is an indie title. A budget indie title at […]
Video Game Review – RIVE
Scott Watson reviews RIVE… I can’t keep up with this game. My old gaming bones just are not attuned to the maniacally impressive, gleefully and destructively over the top shooting that RIVE thrusts upon me. I was never the best at shooters the likes of Nemesis, Salamander and R-Type in the arcades or the likes […]
Video Game Review – Destiny: Rise of Iron
Scott Watson reviews Destiny: Rise of Iron… I know to many that Destiny is very much a marmite game. You either love the grind or you don’t. What I don’t think can ever be argued is the quality of the gunplay the game provides through its environments, enemies and challenges. Rise of Iron may not […]
Video Game Review – Strike Vector EX
Scott Watson reviews Strike Vector EX… Oh this is glorious… this is war, this is balls to the wall air combat dog-fighting, this is a first person shooter strapped into mech-inspired craft. This is the free-flying combat joy of Strike Vector EX and I love it! For a long time I’ve been crying out for a dog-fighting game […]
Video Game Review – Rocketbirds 2: Evolution
Scott Watson reviews Rocketbirds 2: Evolution… Putzki is dead. Or is he? Hardboiled thought he had nailed the evil megalomaniacal despot at the end of the first Rocketbirds. It seems though that psychotic killer owls from outer space had other plans and look to have brought Putzki back from the dead to once again take over […]
Video Game Review – TurnOn
Scott Watson reviews TurnOn… Have you ever wondered what life would be like without electricity and light? Simple things we take for granted such as me typing this review on a laptop persistently connected to the internet, or my son asking if wifi is available wherever we go, would be completely lost. These are some of […]
