Hatoful Boyfriend has just been released on the PS4 and Vita and is perhaps the oddest game you’ll ever see. Originally released on PC in Japan back in 2011 as a April Fool’s joke and re-released and developed on since, it’s a dating sim with a difference. As you may […]

The obvious starting point with this game is Portal but that doesn’t do this game justice. Rather than get bogged down in comparisons highlighting what Q.U.B.E. isn’t, it is best to talk about what Q.U.B.E. is. To start with Q.U.B.E. is an acronym for Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion, and […]

A crowdfunded 2014 PC release, the first episode of The Fall received critical acclaim for its strong storytelling and atmosphere.

Selling itself on the ability to play as Batgirl, this story driven DLC has been heavily trailed. It’s also been used as a selling point for the season pass, with the ability to access this a week early if you commit £30 for the pass. It’s up to you to […]

Ever since the days of Tetris there has been a hard and fast rule. If you have a popular idea that makes it to print then you had better get used to the idea of people copying this idea with varying degrees of subtlety. So for every Angry Birds you […]

Deception is a game about traps. Big traps and little traps, funny traps and deadly traps. Think of it as a bit like Home Alone but will more death, and more sideboob. Coming as a sort of expanded version of the 2014 game Deception IV: Blood Ties, this includes a […]

I’ve never actually seen a cat go at a mouse, playing with it until it dies. But I’m pretty sure if I had it wouldn’t look anything like Mousecraft. Tasked with escorting mice across an obstacle course Mousecraft is a puzzle game which mixes elements of Lemmings with a dash […]

Arkham City, and Arkham Asylum were both great games which reinvigorated the Batman franchise for the last generation of consoles. With the less good Arkham Origins developed in house by Warner Bros Montreal it felt like the Bat-cow was in danger of being over milked. Arkham Knight is back in […]

This marks the first time in about 15 years where my Sundays don’t involve watching live motorcycle racing. Far from being a lapsed fan, the live coverage has moved to satellite TV and the highlights show at inconvenient times. So, imagine my surprise when I discover Valentino Rossi is having […]
