by

With the resurgence of vinyl, and many classic game soundtracks seeing a re-release on the format, the Flickering Myth writers look back at some of their favourites; next up is Emma Withington with 1995’s Panzer Dragoon… Turkey Dinosaur fueled junkie that I was in my early years (with a penchant for rusks), I latched onto […]

Video Game Review – Space Hulk: Deathwing

by

Andy O’Flaherty reviews Space Hulk: Deathwing… Ever since the original Space Hulk board-game was released by Games Workshop in 1989 there have been many computer games that have born the name, and pretty much all of them have been slow-paced strategic titles that require patience and planning to succeed.  For those familiar with Space Hulk, […]

by

Villordsutch reviews Tearaway Unfolded… Before I start the review I’ll just bring this down to personal level if I may.  Our youngest daughter isn’t a gamer, we’ve attempted to disown her but she keeps finding her way home; her extent of gaming likes stretches really to the LEGO franchise, but in truth the most fun […]

2016 Won’t Be the Year of VR

by

Samuel Brace doesn’t think 2016 will be the year of VR… The journey to VR — to real, sustainable VR — has been long. The journey to VR has been torturous. The journey to VR has been exciting and mysterious. The journey to VR has been fuelled — as any notable product is — by […]
