Coming from Qubic Games, the same people who made the rather excellent Air Race Speed Geki Yabba Runner is, as the title suggests, a runner.  Playing as a gnome the plot, for what it’s worth, revolves around collecting magic socks and saving princesses. Geki Yaba Runner has previously been available on the […]

Geki Yaba Runner – Vita Review

  Dexed is an on-rails shooter that makes use of the PSVR hardware and comes to us from Ninja Theory (DmC, Heavenly Sword) and, simplifying it a little, is a cross between the locking on, floaty charms of Rez and colour-switching intricacy of Ikaruga. The game tasks you with floating […]

Dexed – PSVR Review

  Ah, a new Double Dragon with a new company at the helm. Arc Designworks now have their hands on the Technos licenses and, with that comes great expectations from a fervent fanbase. It’s a tough road to tread but the latest adventure of Billy and Jimmy Lee comes from […]

Double Dragon IV – PS4 Review

Earthlock: Festival of Magic is a JRPG, but created in Norway. It was released last year on other platforms after a Kickstarter campaign but has just been released on the PS4. The developers openly admit to being inspired by classic JRPGs, but can this come anywhere close to their quality? […]

As far as indie games go Spheroids sticks fairly close to the standard model, being a 2D platformer with retro inspired graphics and tongue in cheek humour.  The story revolves around an invasion of planet Earth by the titular Spheroids and the quest of a young boy to travel round […]

At the risk of giving away my review within the first sentence, Firefighters – The Simulation is not a good game. Firstly some background though. This is a re-release of the PC game from 2014, a quick Google search brings up links to it being available on mobile devices too, […]

It is hard to get away from Portal when you see a rogue AI in games nowadays.  Put this AI into a first person puzzle game and the similarities really start to mount up.  The Turing Test follows the mould set down by Portal, but much like Q.U.B.E. this is […]

The Turing Test – PS4 Review

It’s taken me a bit to get my head round what I wanted to say in my review of Gravity Rush 2.  You see I loved the first game, playing it on the Vita and the PlayStation 4 when the remaster was released, I though the whimsical style and the gravity […]
