A quick glance at Dragon Quest Builders may have you thinking this is a Minecraft rip off, and you wouldn’t be completely wrong. Rip-off would be a strong way of phrasing it as although the world is built up of lots of blocks that you can destroy, collect and then […]

Dragon Quest Builders – PS4 Review

When I go shopping I like to get fresh meat from the butcher as I like decent cuts from locally sourced producers.  I’ve never been to The Bug Butcher but then I’ve never really wanted a nice tender loin of cockroach.  Luckily this game doesn’t want you to eat the […]

The Bug Butcher – PS4 Review

Last year, Necrophone Games let Jazzpunk’s bizarre, stylish fever-dream loose on the PC to some critical acclaim. It’s now the turn to dive into this weird world on current consoles with some new additional content. Can this combination of absurd cold-war subterfuge and quick-fire chuckles hold its own a year […]

Jazzpunk: Director’s Cut – PS4 Review

HoPiKo is a new ‘platformer-like’ game or at least that’s what developer Laser Dog Games call it. If I say there’s a speed run element, it’s got retro inspired visuals and has music created on a Game Boy then you’ll probably get an idea of what it is, but is […]

HoPiKo – PS4 Review

There is one constant in the gaming world. No matter how far technology comes, no matter what new exciting control schemes or high value concepts come around, Retro is going nowhere fast. While this has often meant that PS Plus every month is filled with two dimensional platformers with pixel […]

Battlezone VR – PSVR Review

Despite their fine work with rhythm action games over the years, especially Amplitude, Harmonix Music VR isn’t a game and will probably disappoint you if, like me, the word Harmonix meant ‘must have’ so get that out of your head right away.  You won’t be travelling into the screen, tapping […]

Harmonix Music VR – PSVR Review

Okay, I admit it.  I’m a complete mark for this sort of thing.  Picking up a PSVR headset is always going to come with a bit of buyer’s guilt and to asway that, I want the VR trickery to shoved into my face like 3D lo-mein.  The time for huge […]

These Stardust games seem to show up whenever Sony put out a new bit of hardware and Super Stardust Ultra VR continues the tradition, arriving as a launch title to support the PSVR headset.  We’ve always liked this series of arcade-style twin-stick shooters but the PS4 entry for the series […]

Super Stardust Ultra VR – PSVR Review

We’re getting quite a few games in to review at the moment but only two of the writers (myself and Grizzly) have taken the leap into PSVR and so have been dividing up the responsibilities there based on our general genre tastes.   Grizz hates football.  I kind of hate football […]

Headmaster – PSVR Review

God games revel in the grand scale of things allowing you to create mountains and oceans.  Ever since Populous people have been refining the genre and giving you more control and making things bigger.  Reus takes things in the opposite direction limiting itself to 2 dimensions but it loses none of the […]

It’s not easy reviewing indie games.  As a site, we love them.  As a gamer, I personally have a terrible habit of ignoring my full price disc games and just playing indie tat.  I’ve done it since the early days of Xbox Live Arcade and it’s a habit that has […]

Viva Ex Vivo: VR Edition – PSVR Review

Look.  This is a tricky one to review.  Maybe that’s why there aren’t many reviews of the game out there.  Of all the games that have come along in this PSVR launch period, Loading Human was certainly not one of the ones I was most excited about but, for various […]
