As massive fans of Mortal Kombat X, the first Mortal Kombat game since Trilogy on the PS1 that we’ve actually loved (although we did like the spin-off Shaolin Monks), we’ve had a lot of our hopes and expectations pinned on Mortal Kombat 11, the latest in the long-running series of […]

Mortal Kombat 11 – PS4 Review

When the splash screen for Fantastico Studio popped up with a VHS-style filter, this reviewer had a dreadful feeling they were playing Far Cry: Blood Dragon again for a second. Thankfully beyond the synthwave musical stylings and and ’80s trappings that’s where the similarities end. Black Paradox is a space […]

It’s odd how the release calendar works sometimes. World War Z saw a movie adaptation in 2013 and now a game arrives slightly ahead of Sony’s own zombie effort. Saber Interactive are hoping this won’t be lost in the shuffle. Will it be smothered by the swarm? A co-op squad […]

When 10TonsLtd, who have long been our favourite purveyors of twin-stick shooting action, dropped Tesla vs Lovecraft on us last year we were very happy with its mix of bold, colourful visuals and insanely hectic gameplay and continued to play it all the way to the platinum long after we […]

With Zen’s third pack of real-life Williams tables for their masterful Pinball FX3 hub, comes our third review of these things and so far we’ve had mixed feelings with these packs. Mainly this has been down to us not really having the familiarity with those real tables and also because they’ve been […]

From Cologne/Köln based developer btf (aka bildundtonfabrik literally picture and sound factory) comes Trüberbrook, a late ’60s Cold War era sci-fi point and click adventure game set in the titular village. The locale brings to mind the Harz mountain region of mid-Germany for anyone familiar with the country. Trüberbrook first […]

Snooker games are fairly rare so getting two of them in the same week must be some sort of sign of the apocalypse but here we are reviewing another one having just published our review of Snooker 19. Where that game had the official World Snooker license and over 100 real […]

Iron Snout – Video Review

Iron Snout is a beat ’em up from Lithuanian coders SnoutUp and they describe the game’s genre as “arcade wolf fighting” which is a fair assessment of what the game asks you to do. It is published by Ratalaika Games and so comes in PS4 and Vita versions as you […]

It’s not very often I get to review a sports game where the sport is completely new to me like the one which presents top-of-the-line bow cases. Crossminton is perhaps better described by it’s alternative name: Speed Badminton. The racquet sport eliminates the net and uses a quicker shuttlecock called […]
