by

Shaun Munro reviews PaRappa the Rapper Remastered… As a common fixture on PS1 demo discs, PaRappa the Rapper is ingrained in the minds of an entire generation of gamers, many of whom perhaps didn’t even play the full title.

Video Game Review – VR Karts

by

Shaun Munro reviews VR Karts… Viewpoint Games’ VR Karts attempts to infuse greater immersion into the much-loved Mario Kart formula, and tantalising though that idea sounds on paper, the depressingly lacking end product makes it a disappointing failure.

Video Game Review – Star Trek: Bridge Crew

by

Shaun Munro reviews Star Trek: Bridge Crew… Card-carrying Trekkies and newbies alike should find plenty to enjoy in Red Storm Entertainment’s socially-minded VR jaunt Star Trek: Bridge Crew. Without question one of the most satisfying and nuanced PSVR titles to date, its keen focus on communication-driven co-op multiplayer should ensure it enjoys a healthy online community for the foreseeable […]
