Are you ready for Rogue Flight? – Review
Rogue Flight slapped me in the face with a retro anime-inspired trailer mere weeks ago, and now it’s here (or nearly, the launch date is 25th October) on PS5, PC, Switch and XBSX. It’s a blast from the past with some good old-school arcade-inspired shooting ‘em up. Think of something like Afterburner. Or minigames from…

Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports – Review
What we have with Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports is a collection of four sports games: Golf, Tennis, Football (Soccer), and Basketball. All four are solid, if rather basic, but given the subject matter here, I don’t think anyone buying this will be looking for deep simulations! These are meant to be light-hearted, arcade-style…

Reach new depths in Mining Mechs – Review
One of my first-ever reviews was for Dirt Inc, an idle game on Android where you dig ever deeper for increasingly valuable dirt. Now we’ve come full circle and I’m back to digging the dirt, but this time there’s ore and mechs. Mining Mechs (available on PC and recently released for console) does find some…

Well strap in and get a splatter guard ready as we enter Gori: Cuddly Carnage. Gori is set in a world where humanity has been destroyed and its only saviour is a cute cuddly…

Pushing the PS5 to its limit – Astro Bot – Review
This is probably one of the easiest reviews I’ll ever write as I could easily say, “9/10, buy it, you won’t be disappointed” and leave it at that. But Astro Bot for the PlayStation 5 deserves so much more than that, so here goes. You play as the titular Astro Bot, a little robot who…

Kaiju No.8 – Review
So I gave this 12-episode anime a shot because Uniqlo had some cool t-shirts for it. Which is not my worst justification for watching a new show… The first episode introduces us to a world, or at least a Japan where Kaiju (giant monsters) are pretty common. We don’t know where they come from or…

Willy’s Wonderland – The Game sees you step into the shoes of ‘The Janitor’ and you have to survive the horrors of a haunted children’s restaurant

Is Star Wars The Acolyte really “that” bad? – Review
There’s so much fear, hate and suffering surrounding the Internet discourse of The Acolyte that it’s tempting to let this review fall to countering arguments rather than critiquing the show itself. It would be much easier to review without all that noise and to be fair it would also be much easier to watch and…
