The original Destroy All Humans! will always have a special place in my twisted little heart. Cryptosporidium 137’s maniacal quest to conquer America for the Furon empire remains a hilarious jaunt. While Black Forest Games 2020 effort was the kind of pitch-perfect…

Gioteck Solo Charging Stand review
The main thing that differentiates Xbox pads from every other controller is that they still use AA batteries. Apparently, this is due to a dunderheaded deal with Duracell to supply batteries for Xbox controllers Microsoft can’t get out of. Whatever…

Gioteck Duo Charging Stand review
The Dual Sense is probably the best controller Sony has ever made. Packed full of technical wizardry, the PS5 pad is the most feature-packed pad PlayStation has ever put out. However, all these bells and whistles come at the cost…

Cult of the Lamb review – Walt Disney’s Wickerman
Massive Monster’s Cult of the Lamb shows what happens when you leave your Animal Crossing village alone for too long. Just like a Disney remake of the Wickerman, Cult of the Lamb is a cute yet macabre tale of nature cults and bloody sacrifice., but…

Video Game Fables review – Deconstructed Dungeons
I love it when my media is clever and deconstructionist, passing commentary on what has come before while building something new; see Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or anything else Alan Moore has written in the past 30 years. That…

Krut: The Mythic Wings review – Who’s the cat with the beak?
Based on eat-Asian mythology, Krut: The Mythic Wings is a punishing action platformer that is as rewarding as it is tedious. Players take on the role of Vera. After the Ogre army invades the peaceful nation of Garuda and seizes the capital….

I Gave Up On Obi-Wan Kenobi after ten minutes
…So you shouldn’t care about any of my opinions on it. Ten minutes into the new Obi-Wan Kenobi show, during a scene featuring ten-year-old Leia set to a soundtrack taken directly from a Hallmark TV movie, I stopped watching. So,…

Kao The Kangaroo review – Back on the street
The original Kao the Kangeroo (pronounced K-O) on the Dreamcast was a great game that no bugger played (like most of its library, come to think of it). Although a sequel was released for sixth-generation consoles in 2003, and a…

Young Souls review – Twin Powers Activate
From 1P2P & The Arcade Crew, Young Souls is a very stylish one or two-player 2D sidescrolling brawler, combined with a deep and thoughtful story and a surprising smattering of action RPG tendencies. You play a pair of dysfunctional teenage twins, Jenn…

The Serpent Rogue review – For science!
The Serpent Rogue throws players into a procedurally generated world on the brink of annihilation. The fields and valleys are strewn with deadly thorns, a corrupting influence mutating wildlife into vicious monsters, violent storms tear the landscape asunder, and the dead…

Bugsnax review – Cronenberg’s muppets
Bugsnax was probably one of the best launch titles on the PS5. It was a colourful and charming game that made great use of the Dual Sense controller. Now that the exclusivity period on Sony consoles has expired, the Bugnax have…

Cat Café Manager review – [Insert cat pun here]
I am a big fan of the type of game you can play to relax. There is a story, some building, but nothing feels too stressful or frenetic. Roost Games’ Cat Café Manager fits neatly into this kitten filled box. It has…

Slipstream review – slip ‘n’ slide
If you’re looking for another retro-styled racer to add to what is admittedly a healthy selection on the Switch, Slipstream might be the 1980s styled off-brand super-car racer for you. It’s clear from the off that Slipstream’s main influences are SEGAs…

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga review – The Laugh Jedi
It’s weird to think 17 years have passed since the original LEGO Star Wars game hit the PS2 and TT Games seemingly achieved the impossible – make the prequel trilogy not completely suck. A combination of brilliant brick-based buffoonery, simple…
