For those of you of a certain age, you’ll remember the game Lemmings which was a cute 2D puzzle game where you had to stop cute little creatures from killing themselves. It was clever, and pretty addictive, and for a while it was the big thing in gaming. Recently, you […]

We love the 90’s over here in PlayStation Country, everything about that period was ace and much better than the rubbish decade we find ourselves in now. It was therefore with some interest that I spotted Action Henk coming out for PS4, being as it was a game which plays […]

When EA finally snared the UFC license, there was a feeling that their first effort was really just laying the groundwork for the series. Where previous license-holders, THQ, had turned their UFC games into a detailed simulation of the sport which might be listed on platforms such as the Coral […]

It’s not very often a single developer will carve out their own genre exclusively. From Software succeeded with 2009’s Demon’s Souls and, since then very few have attempted to recreate that specific formula. Ska Studios are the latest to step up to the challenge with Salt and Sanctuary. They take […]

A look at either the name or the screenshots will be enough to tell you exactly what Tetraminos is all about. Yes, it’s a Tetris clone. For a sub-genre that once ruled over all puzzle games, you don’t see many Tetris games these days. PSN has seen at least one […]

McDroid is a tower defence game from Elefantopia. After its brief heyday, that genre isn’t nearly as common as it used to be and part of the reason is that it really has been refined to hell. Also, it’s a genre that doesn’t support ‘free to play’ very well as […]

The PS4 isn’t a stranger to twin-stick shooters that have already done the rounds on Steam and here comes another. Assault Android Cactus is a solid shoot ’em up in a not-too-serious shell that sees you playing as Cactus (an assault android, I guess) or one of three other droids […]

The old saying goes never judge a book by its cover, and when the book in question is Senran Kagura: Estival Versus and the cover is a collection of scantily clad anime girls, you’d think your first impressions won’t be far off. But this may not necessarily be the case. […]

I’ve had a very much love hate relationship with the Hitman series of games. In a very real way this resulted in me loving Blood Money, liking Contracts and having just an odd sense of general apathy towards Absolution. The new instalment comes out some three years, and a new […]

Map making in first person shooters has gone hand in hand since the mid nineties, with developers handing the keys to creation tools for pioneering gamers to make their very own battle spaces and share them across the on the primary coloured forums of the early internet years. It was […]

Blast ‘Em Bunnies is a game based round one simple idea, shooting bunnies. Don’t panic it’s not a real gun you use, but some kind of marvellous creation capable of shooting carrots (the default ammo), pea lasers, pumpkins or seeds. You see this is no normal shooting gallery. You control […]
