Race Arcade is something of a throwback. Sure, it’s not unusual for games to hark back to the days of 2D retrogaming, if anything it’s unusual when an indie game doesn’t, but this title really aims to capture that bygone era.  It is the latest release from Iceflake Games (a little […]

For a PS+ freebie, 2015’s Tower of Guns was a reasonably good game.  It was a rogue-like FPS that had you playing as a lone soldier who had to make his way up the titular tower while facing off against mechanised gun turrets looking to blast you into smithereens.  It […]

Runbow from 13Games is a port of the 2015 Wii-U party platformer and two big clues to the game’s nature are found in the title.  You run and colour has a big effect on the gameplay. The core gameplay involves you running across a 2D level, jumping on platforms and generally […]

Atomine from Broken Arms Games is a twin stick shooter.  Something that we’re quite used to seeing on PSN these days.  Especially as it also has procedurally generated levels with rogue-lite mechanics.  However, there is also a storyline of sorts,  which is about the real-life Stuxnet internet worm.  This is largely […]

Love them or otherwise, Ubisoft have a knack for keeping us interested. Every time they announce a new IP there is a mixture of trepidation and excitement as to the possibilities of how good this new franchise could be, or in how the prospect of a concept could be overpromised. […]
