Much like Namco, Capcom have never been afraid to dip into their rich arcade history for a cheeky compilation.  They’ve put out coin-op ports and collections on every console generation and now it’s the turn for the previous generation to get theirs (or current if you’re still struggling to source […]

Capcom Arcade Stadium – PS4 Review

It’s not very often I sit down to write a review and have to really consider the value proposition on offer. I’m no stranger to dealing with shorter experiences but I tend to see most of them as appropriately priced. With all this in mind, Gutwhale arrives from Stuffed Wombat […]

Gutwhale – PS4 Review

RetroMachina from developer Orbit Studio and English indie publisher super.com, is  a sci-fi action adventure. If we had to elevator pitch it, we’d call it Not Ratchet But Clank. You see, you also play as a defective robot. Only rather negotiating than a 3D environment, you’re in an exquisitely illustrated […]

RetroMachina – PS4 Review

Comedy video games are a sub-genre with a laboured past. You either get the games that are built around a story and great gameplay with comedic elements like the Sam and Max series; games that are purposefully bad, yet fun like Octodad: Dadliest Catch or they end up being bottom […]

Capcom have been on a bit of roll with the Resident Evil franchise in recent years. After the excellent remake of Resident Evil 2, they followed it up a year later with a remake of Resident Evil 3. That was maybe too quick a turn around as it felt far […]

Resident Evil Village – PS5 Review

WarDogs: Red’s Return is an old-school 2D beat ’em up in the tradition of games like Renegade, Double Dragon and, most notably, Final Fight.  It comes to us from QUByte Interactive and Brazilian coders Mito Games.  In it you play as Red, an anthropomorphic fighter (human body, dog’s head) as he returns home […]

WarDogs: Red’s Return – PS4 Review

From D’Avekki Studios aka Tim and Lynda Cowles, we have episodic FMV game Dark Nights with Poe and Munro. Played respectively by Klemens Koehring as John Pope and Leah Cunard as Ellis Munro, naturally you’ll spend most of your time in their company. The cast is fleshed out by a […]

Dark Nights with Poe and Munro – PS4 Review

Infestor is a 2D puzzle platformer which comes to us via the ever-prolific publishers Ratalaika and developers Woblyware who previously released a few games that we’ve reviewed such as Devious Dungeon, Omega Strike and League of Evil.  Much like those games this is a 16-bit looking, retro-styled affair but it has a relatively interesting […]

Infestor – PS5 Review

Skate City is, as you can probably guess, a skating game which comes to us from Canadian mobile game specialists Snowman.  Originally released as an Apple Arcade exclusive in 2019, it is a 2D skating game that has some initial similarities with OlliOlli.  We love Roll7’s iconic games and so we had […]

Skate City – PS4 Review

There is a palpable weight of expectation that comes with being one of the first exclusives out for a new PlayStation generation. This is usually the time when you see those shots in the dark, the one-offs that exist primarily as technical showcases or ideas that are purposed into being […]

Returnal – PS5 Review

It’s hard to think of a fanbase that has had it rougher than those of us who like Terminator.  With Salvation, Genisys and Dark Fate all disappointing in their own ways, it’s been a series that we’d quite happily leave in past.  But there have been some brief moments where […]

Terminator: Resistance Enhanced – PS5 Review

I don’t know what I expect from visual novels any more. I keep wondering if I’m ever going to be given one that’s got more intrigue and a story that will actually grip me. I came into this genre well aware of the stereotypes and Angels with Scaly Wings hammers […]
