9 / 10.0 - Shogun Showdown

Madden NFL 25 looks gorgeous, has great attention to detail, and a game-changing physics engine, which takes the series to the next level.

Jul 25, 2024

With Earth Defense Force 6 the voice acting is hilarious, there's some cheesy dialogue, loads of shouting, chanting and singing, and a vibe that doesn't take itself seriously at all. It is brilliant.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! is for a very specific target audience, but others may find it all a bit too baffling.

Essentially this is a less-polished Hades but with the Turtles – not a bad thing at all – and certainly a fun and worthwhile use of a tremendous license

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition offers a pleasingly brisk and enjoyable format that makes it the unexpected party game hit of the Summer.

Jul 3, 2024

Megaton Musashi W: Wired may not attract may new devotees, but for those who cannot resist strapping into a giant anthropomorphic robot, this is a rollicking good time

Anybody who has ever enjoyed a turn-based RPG and fancies a trip down memory lane will find themselves delighted with SKALD: Against the Black Priory.

6 / 10.0 - Arcadia: Colony
May 16, 2024

If you're a diehard fan of this kind of game then Arcadia: Colony is worth a look, just don't expect a Metroid or Cave Story level experience.

7.5 / 10.0 - Mr. Run and Jump
Jul 31, 2023

Mr. Run and Jump gives a feeling of pure unadulterated gaming joy like no other when your co-ordination and the sharp controls combine.

7 / 10.0 - Burnhouse Lane
Jul 11, 2023

While the gameplay isn't hugely dynamic, Burnhouse Lane is soaked in atmosphere and intrigue, as well as being memorably disturbing.
