As someone with an art background the assortment of art programs/games in the VR space have always interested me but I’ve never dabbled. ArtPulse dropped into the PlayStation Country inbox and it was my chance to see how these things work in the 3D space. Or so I thought. ArtPulse […]

Mutazione is described by Danish developers Die Gute Fabrik as a “mutant soap opera” and that’s a pretty good description but before we get into all of that, there’s something you need to know. This is one of those games, an indie game about feelings where not very much happens […]

It’s been a while since PSVR owners had a reason to get excited but Tetris Effect, the latest project from Rez and Lumines creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, is creating quite a stir in the media and the recent demo of the game has got gamers falling over themselves to give it […]

Survios have shown a lot of support to PSVR with Raw Data and Sprint Vector, games that have shown a willingness from the California devs to play with different genres. Electronauts keeps the tradition going and is entirely different to what they’ve produced before and, one example aside, is pretty different to everything else that’s out […]

Aaero is a rhythm action game from two-man English dev crew Mad Fellows. It was released elsewhere back in April but European gamers finally got the chance to pick it up earlier this month which led to it showing up on our radar and we’re glad it did. Like many […]

The cool kids all know what’s up. In its short life the Sega Dreamcast burned brightly, satisfying gamers who were happy to take a chance on its relatively limited software library and arcade-based hardware. It was home to some of the best games of its generation and Rez was one […]

Despite their fine work with rhythm action games over the years, especially Amplitude, Harmonix Music VR isn’t a game and will probably disappoint you if, like me, the word Harmonix meant ‘must have’ so get that out of your head right away. You won’t be travelling into the screen, tapping […]

As far as genre crossovers go, LOUD on Planet X, is possibly the weirdest given that it matches rhythm-action and whatever genre you want to classify Plants Vs. Zombies is. Instead of dropping down defences in a tower defence kind of way, you hold off the waves of attacking by […]

The rhythm action genre has always been well-served on handhelds and on the Vita, the most popular one is DJ Max Technika and some of the devs from that game have now reformed under the name of Nurijoy to carry on doing what they do best and the product of that […]

We’re not sure what the first Tycoon/Theme game was but the ’90s seemed to be inundated with little business simulation games. Zoo Tycoon and Rollercoaster Tycoon seemed to absolutely explode and with the huge Sim City series doing its own thing as well, it was a genre that performed really […]
