Read MoreTrifox review – My dear Foxy
Trifox is a retro 3D platformer inspired by Crash, Ratchet and Clank, and a little bit of Zelda, with some nice little twists of its own, on top. It’s an interesting mix that works for the best part as our titular hero embarks…
Read MoreResident Evil Village: The Winters’ Expansion review – Country roads
Resident Evil Village: The Winters’ Expansion is a decent epilogue to Resident Evil: Village with some genuinely unsettling moments and adds some great little additions to the core game, but it is by no means essential. The bulk of the expansion comprises the…
Read MoreWarhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef review – WAAAHHH has never been so much fun
This review was written by a Freeboota who broke into the office, stole our copy of Warhammer 40,000: Shootas Blood & Teef, and then posted us a letter written in crayon ‘wiv iz thorts’. For the sake of clarity, and…
Read MoreLEGO Bricktales review – Pure imagination

Read MoreSoul Hackers 2 review – Cogito, ergo sum

Read MoreCult 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…

Read MoreVideo 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…
Read MoreKrut: 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….
Read MoreKao 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…
