The Council is the debut game from Bordeaux based developer Big Bad Wolf Studio, who are by no means novices as this game shows. This being the first episode of a five part narrative based series, you’d be forgiven for writing it off and assuming it continued in the same […]

We’ve always been fascinated by the output from Finnish devs, 10TonsLtd. They started out on PSN by putting out pretty basic physics puzzlers like Tennis in the Face before upping their game with a series of roguelikes and twin-stick shooters that showed real progress and maturity. However, it is easy to […]

The platforming genre has been seeing a bit of a shot in the arm recently. While the AAA development space has all but ignored the genre as a risky write off, Indies have kept it alive as some sort of Frankenstein-ish experiment. This has led to some impressive titles such […]

On the face of it, Way Of The Passive Fist is a short lived novelty that should outstay its welcome quicker than the smirk disappears from your face as you possibly laugh at the reference to the classic ’80s game Way Of The Exploding Fist. Thankfully that turns out not […]

I never played any of the previous Scribblenauts games on DS or otherwise, so this was my first foray into this amusing world. In a departure from previous titles, the developer has opted to go with a party based approach for Scribblenauts: Showdown. This naturally lends itself to playing with […]

Over the past year, this job’s given me the opportunity to dive deep into Asian horror. A genre that offers it’s own set of trappings, the Eastern flavour seems to focus more on psychology rather than gore and relentless pressure. Red Candle Games offered up their own attempt last year […]

For one of the most spectacular races in motorsport, the Isle of Man TT doesn’t get much attention in games. Maybe the challenge of rendering 37 miles of Manx country road is too huge a task but, step forth Kylotonn. The WRC7 developers are now turning their hand to road […]

As soon as Metal Gear Survive was announced, there was blood in the water. The departure of Hideo Kojima from the franchise left a bad taste in the mouths of fans and Konami’s idea of following up the critically acclaimed stealth franchise with a Zombie led survival title certainly did […]

Midnight Deluxe is a very understated puzzle game from Ratalaika Games and it offers 70 screens of physics-based puzzle action on both PS4 and Vita. Each level is a single screen affair that sees you controlling a small white square (apparently a fairy named ‘Midnight’) who has to get across the […]

The already sizeable collection of tables for Zen’s excellent Pinball FX3 hub now has increased by three thanks to this licensed collection of Jurassic Park themed tables. The collection is out now on PSN for £7.99. For your money you get the following tables which we’ll review one by one. […]

While the concept of having a redneck running around Ancient Egypt causing mayhem is a fairly original concept, Immortal Redneck feels very familiar. The game is an FPS with rogue-lite elements and it borrows heavily from previous PSN titles such as Ziggurat, Tower of Guns and Rogue Legacy and it comes to us from […]

Speedrunning is a niche pastime that has certainly gathered more interest with events like Games Done Quick. It’s one hell of a spectator sport to me and SEUM: Speedrunners From Hell looks to play into that whilst testing your spacial awareness and reflexes. Looking like an remaster of DOOM in […]
