Nick Gillham's Reviews

Nick is an avid video game entusiast and has been since his mum first allowed him to play on the Atari 2600 she never touched. To this day he's had the pleasure of playing on a vast array of different gaming machines. He's a recovering WoW-holic and when he's not playing games he's talking about games, reading about games, writing about games, watching videos about games, watching his son play games or chatting rubbish on Twitter. A lover, not a fighter and an all round good guy (he would say that, he wrote this after all), he's happy to be here as part of GIAG.

Slow and steady like the game itself, but a virtual experience can't live up to the real thing.

5.5 / 10.0 - Death Squared
Jul 12, 2017

If you have a bunch of friends with high tolerance levels readily available then it might be worth giving this a punt, otherwise, if you're the type that throws controllers then you may want to avoid.

World of Final Fantasy tries to give you the nostalgia feels, but is unable to recapture the magic of previous 'hyper-deformed' games.

If you can look past pretty much everything the game offers you may find that there’s enjoyment to be had here.

Good looks and an original premise are let down by questionable scenes and a lack of ideas in terms of mechanics.

While not as horrible as the Professor's pets, overly fiddly controls mar an otherwise decent puzzle adventure.

While Wastelands improves on episode two for the most part there's still a long way to go to hit the heights of season one.

A lovely little diversion for the wolf brothers finds their biggest problem not to be the law, but inconsistencies in their own animation.

Caught right between a needed update and trying to strictly adhere to the original template, Secret of Mana doesn't commit itself enough in either direction to justify owning it above any of the other versions.

If you've been struggling to get an original copy to finish your collection, then this remaster will answer your prayers, but it's hard to recommend Apollo Justice for any other reason.

Download play in Kirby Battle Royale will give a group a burst of fun, but after that it's unlikely you'll return for more.

Factor in the rather obtuse nature of the puzzling and the uninspiring cast and you'll find that there's a lot to be disappointed with in this return for the famed puzzle series.

Not so hot alone, Astro Bears Party comes alive with friends only to quickly run out of steam.

Infinite Minigolf sets out to do what it aims to do by giving you the tools to make the minigolf courses of your dreams, but while it's good to make, it just isn't fun to play.

6 / 10.0 - Memoranda
Jan 28, 2017

Teeth gnashing frustration prevents Memoranda from being the great game it appears to be, despite its wonderful story and puppet-like art style.

6 / 10.0 - Hunter's Legacy

Hunter’s Legacy is competent enough, but doesn’t do enough to stand out in a crowded market.

6 / 10.0 - Dangerous Golf

For a score attack game Dangerous Golf lacks the ingredient to make you want to perfect it.

Mario and Sonic aim for gold but just about scrape bronze, a good effort but more training is required.

Initial bewilderment gives way to fascination as you understand what Ancestors is trying to do, but fiddly controls and a lack of hand-holding leads to frustration

6.5 / 10.0 - Oninaki

A brave choice at something different by Tokyo RPG Factory finds a game that's good but crying out for new ideas
