Video Game Review – Fat Princess Adventures

by

Villordsutch reviews Fat Princess Adventures… From the outside of Fat Princess Adventures this franchise may appear to be some child-like, XX Chromosome game and any elder gents out there may think this game isn’t for them.  You couldn’t be more wrong! Yes you’re in a world of Fat Princesses and Cake and everything has practically a saccharine sweet cake-like name, […]

Video Game Review – Jet Set Willy: The Nightmare Edition on Spectrum 48K

by

Dave Edwards reviews Jet Set Willy: The Nightmare Edition… In the boardroom of Dave Edwards, the creators of this nightmare are all fired. It seems that people never tire of playing, or talking about, the game Jet Set Willy. There are hundreds of versions of it for hundreds of machines – and now there’s one more: […]

Video Game Review – Tachyon Project

by

Villordsutch reviews Tachyon Project… The tagline for Tachyon Project should read, “This game isn’t forgiving!”. I can honestly say I don’t think I have “Rage Quit” a PS4 game as many times as I have with this rush-style game. Tachyon Project clearly plays homage to the classic Geometry Wars with its core appearance; however Eclipse Games […]

A Look Back At Destiny

by

Mike Mc Grath looks back at Destiny… I have a love/hate relationship with Destiny. On the one hand, I love the world that Bungie has crafted over the last year and a half. Granted most of the story isn’t actually in the game but once you start reading the grimoire cards, what is there is […]

Video Game Review – Star Wars Pinball: The Force Awakens

by

Scott Watson reviews Star Wars Pinball: The Force Awakens… You’ve all seen that new Star Wars movie right? It feels like everyone on the planet has or almost everyone has. I certainly have, twice so far. So, with great vigor and much enthusiasm, I attacked Zen Studios release of two new virtual pinball tables in […]

Video Game Review – Tearaway Unfolded

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 […]
