In The Sinking City, you play as Charles Reed, a private investigator who is drawn to the fictional town of Oakmont after being continually tormented by visions of slithering, supernatural horrors.

The plot borrows heavily from HP Lovecraft’s works, with suspiciously ape-like humans...

Super Dodge Ball Beats PC Review – Dodge, Dip, Dive, Duck, and Dodge

The first thing I thought of when I saw the main menu of this game, Dragon Ball Z. It has an anime feel that will appeal to fans of that genre. Super Dodgeball Beats was developed by FinalBoss Games and Published by PlayStack. Super Dodgeball Beats was released on September 12, 2019, and is available on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. This review is for the PC version of the game. Gameplay Super Dodgeball Beats is a really interesting game, as I have never played dodgeball in a video game before this. The basic premise of the game is that you are students who have formed a dodge ball team. There really isn’t a story here. The game has 2 main game modes, Championship and multiplayer. In the championship mode, you will be able to select from 3 leagues to pla...

The Ninja Saviours: Return of the Warriors PS4 Review –

The Ninja Saviours: Return of the Warriors is a re-boot of the classic Taito Arcade game Ninja Warriors. The original came out back in 1987 and there have been ports on other platforms throughout the last 30 years, but none ever truly lived up to the original Arcade version (in my opinion). This re-boot is based around the 1994 Super Famicom version called Ninja Warriors: Again While trying to describe this game to some friends who had no knowledge of the original Arcade game, I found the best was to tell them to imagine Streets of Rage and replace the main characters with Ninja’s. Almost instantly they knew what to expect from the game, however that did result in a few ‘oh it’s a rip-off of those games then?’ comments. In fact, Ninja Warriors came out first (Streets of Rage only ...

They Are Billions PS4 Review – Zombie Filled RTS

Craving for a game like Command and Conquer? Not sick of the zombie sub-genre? Well, if that’s the case, this game could be for you! They Are Billions is a survival RTS, developed by Numantian Games, and was released in June 2019 on PC and ported to PS4 and Xbox One in July, however this game was released as Early Access way back in December of 2017.

It will take those glasses, destroy them and then slowly insert them into your rectum. This is not a game that eases you into the gameplay loop, you are quickly thrown into an environment where you need to protect your command centr...

PC Building Simulator PS4 Review – PC’s for Dummies?

PC Building Simulator is the latest release from Claudiu Kiss & The Irregular Corporation and is the newest of the ‘Sim’ style games to make its way to the PS4 after Car Mechanic Simulator came out in June. At first glance, I was a little confused why a PC Building Sim would come to PS4, as it just feels like something PC gamers would be the market aim for such a title. I briefly had a try of the PC release that came out last year and had a bit of fun so I’m hoping the PS4 version doesn’t reduce the spec on me (or if so, then not by too much). Gameplay As the title suggests, the main aim here is to build and repair PCs. You have taken over a PC repair shop from your Uncle who has moved on to bigger and better things (or at least ‘things’ somewhere else). Customers will email th...
