If you’re a regular here, you’ll know all about Ratalaika, the Finnish publishers who put out at least one game a week and keep trophy whores across the world busy with a series of short but easy games with which to increase their Platinum tallies with. Well, Super Destronaut DX […]

Bullet Beat is a confident little shoot ’em up is from Ternox Games and is best described as a mix of Space Invaders Infinity Gene and Rez. It’s a cheap and cheerful addition to PSN’s ever-growing library of shoot ’em ups and is aimed at arcade fans and anyone who still remembers dubstep. […]

It may not carry the same weight that it did forty years ago but the name Space Invaders is still huge when it comes to gaming. It is considered to be one of the great grandfathers of gaming. Not the first arcade game by any means but the first to catch […]

Super Destronaut DX is the latest effort from the oddly prolific Finnish dev crew Ratalaika Games who are starting to create a very odd niche in the indie gaming sphere. This particular title is their take on the grandaddy of them all, Space Invaders, and while it’s fundamentally different to their […]

Super Destronaut DX – PS4/Vita Review

Developed by Aist, DreamBreak seems to offer players a Flashback style adventure, with retro graphics, a dystopian future and conspiracy. What you actually get is an interesting but very flawed mishmash. You play as Eugene, a janitor who is dragged into a revolution against his will. This leads him through […]
