Video Game Review – The Inpatient
Shaun Munro reviews The Inpatient…The Inpatient is Supermassive Games’ much-anticipated follow-up to their acclaimed VR rail-shooter Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, and with promises of a rich, cinematic story that takes full, terrifying advantage of Sony’s headset, it truly seemed like the game might be the first big AAA VR hit of 2018.There’s no joy at all, then, […]

Video Game Review – Accounting+
Shaun Munro reviews Accounting+…With PSVR generally still leaving owners wanting for a respectable collection of “mature” games and experiences, the new beefed-up version of Accounting, which initially released for HTC Vive last year, provides brief and disarmingly demented relief, yet feels mis-priced and mis-marketed as an actual game rather than a mere experience.The barmy brainchild of The […]
Video Game Review – Vostok Inc. on Nintendo Switch
Shaun Munro reviews Vostok Inc. on Nintendo Switch…If you’re not familiar with the “clicker” genre of video games – as I wasn’t prior to playing Nosebleed Interactive’s Vostok Inc. – it encompasses games reliant on grinding resources and performing repetitive actions in order to progress, requiring an abundance of – wait for it – clicking on […]
Video Game Review – LocoRoco 2 Remastered
Shaun Munro reviews LocoRoco 2 Remastered…Cult classic PSP platformer LocoRoco was given a superbly shiny new 4K PS4 port back in May, and now its 2008 sequel has also gotten the glossy makeover treatment to similarly dazzling effect.
