Gareth's our go to guy for anything difficult to review. And all the weird Japanese stuff that we can't figure out.

GUNGRAVE VR U.N has just released for PSVR. GUNGRAVE VR has also released (read the review here before continuing with this one) and you can buy both with the GUNGRAVE VR: Loaded Coffin Edition bundle. Think of this as a DLC add-on for GUNGRAVE VR, even though they are two […]

Having recently reviewed the remaster containing the original three Spyro games when another remaster of a platformer arrived in the PlayStation Country mailbox I volunteered my services. Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Misson: Las Vegum was released on the PS2 back in 2006, the Xbox 360 was already in people’s […]

The Spyro Reignited Trilogy has released on PS4 giving the PS1 games a lick of modern paint whilst keeping the levels and layouts the same. I’ll come out and say that I didn’t play these back when they were originally released but that just makes it all the more impressive […]

A new VR title has dropped on PSVR that isn’t a shooting gallery and it’s by From Software, most famous in recent times for the Souls series of games. Sounds pretty exciting right? Well, one word I’m not sure you could use for Déraciné is ‘exciting’. There is no action […]

Battle Chef Brigade landed on Switch and PC late last year and has now arrived on the PS4. If you imagine all those cooking shows where people cook under a time limit in order to impress judges then you’ll have a vague idea of the premise, but these chefs have […]

After breaking from the yearly release schedule and reinventing the formula last year with Assassin’s Creed Origins, Ubisoft has returned to old ways and released Assassin’s Creed Odyssey only a year later.

It’s been over eight years since the last Mega Man game. The Blue Bomber saw a slight resurgence during the PS3/360 era and the NES styled Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 launched under three years apart. I loved Mega Man 9 but 10 came a bit too soon […]

Originally a Kickstarted project for PC, Hover has arrived on PS4 and promises an open world, free running game inspired by the likes of Jet Set Radio and Mirror’s Edge. Looking at the screenshots you can probably tell which influence is stronger, but can the developers at Fusty Game turn […]
