I love music, and last September a DJ saved my life. He was only a tiny dancer, but to see him move you’d agree he was the greatest dancer. I didn’t really know whats going on, but he said he was lost in music. It was clear he was struggling […]

Rally Copters – PS4 Review
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not a series I’ve dabbled with before. I was aware of it, even intrigued by it but this thirteenth release is my first actual time playing the game. From Koei, this strategy game attempts to give you the ability to conquer all of China […]
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII – PS4 Review
Ninja-based platforming games are regular staple of the indie scene and where most of them seem to focus on pixel-perfect jumping or harrowingly difficult speed runs, Ninja Pizza Girl by Disparity Games takes a different approach. You play as Gemma, a very talented pizza delivery girl who works for her […]
Ninja Pizza Girl – PS4 Review
The sea is full of wonder, a last great frontier waiting to be explored. It is a wellspring from which myths and stories have been drawn throughout the ages. Song of the Deep uses the idea of stories and mystery to tell its own interesting tale about exploring underwater. You […]
Song of the Deep – PS4 Review
Bringing out a port of an obscure Sega Genesis shoot ’em up is a fairly leftfield move but this reimagining of the 16-bit Assault Suit Leynos series (and specifically the first one ‘Target Earth‘) is out and brings with it updated levels, visuals and weapons. Leynos links in best with […]

ADR1FT – PS4 Review
I recently mentioned my history with Games Factory in a recent review and on the podcast, attempting to make 2D versions of some of my favourite games which just happened to be 3D at the time. If I was to try and make a Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts style game I’d […]
Cast of the Seven Godsends – Redux – PS4 Review
I’m no naturalist but I’m sure real chameleons can’t change colour as quickly as they do in Spy Chameleon, if they could then I’d fear they’d take over the world. Spy Chameleon is a game which sees you breaking into numerous secure locations without being spotted. Played from a top […]
Spy Chameleon – PS4, VITA Review
10 Second Ninja X is a 2D puzzle platformer from Four Circle Interactive. 10 Second Ninja was released on the PC and this X version contains new levels as well as the originals and is available now on the PS4. More content is nice but is the game fun enough […]
10 Second Ninja X – PS4 Review
Despite being around for a year on the PC, Super Mutant Alien Assault has slipped under many people’s noses. A roguelike flaunting itself as a Supercratebox clone, it’s not shy about giving props to its influences. Flattery’s a great thing if it’s done well but can this arcade shooter platformer […]
Super Mutant Alien Assault – PS4 Review
I’ve said it plenty of times before. There are too many Roguelikes and randomly generated levels is an excuse to not make proper levels. However, if you get your gameplay right and you do the Roguelike stuff intelligently, you can produce a decent game and Full Mojo Rampage is a […]
