Parking in Tight Spaces – PC Early Access

Ever wanted to be a professional at parkour? Well now's your chance. See how well you can park a car in a tight space. Did I say parkour? I meant Parkcar. That's my bad. I'm sure the difference is minimal, after all, getting from A - B in whatever format has to be fun right? Parking in Tight Spaces - Fact or Euphemism? So having the ability to drive and park I should knock the socks off Parking in Tight Spaces. I mean, what can be so hard about parking. The hardest part would be how Hungry Devs have released a game about the second most boring aspect of driving. In case you are wondering, 'Stuck in Traffic Simulator' hasn't been green lit yet. Gameplay Well when it comes to Parking in Tight Spaces there probably isn't a lot I am about to tell you that you can't guess. Do you drive...

ACRODRIFT FPV Drone Simulator – PC Early Access

Ever wanted to fly a drone but couldn't afford one? Well, Dueking Studio have the solution with ACRODRIFT FPV Drone Simulator (or ACRODRIFT for short, to save my typing). Now you can fly in exotic places from the comfort of your own gaming chair. No hefty repair bills for wrapping it around a telegraph pole, no being swept out to sea by the wind, and no being attacked by rampant seagulls; it's a win-win situation. ACRODRIFT - Shooting to success or drifting into the mire So as I do not own a drone, and have only limited experience of flying one, my comparisons to real life are going to be limited. I have decided to take the approach that I will see this purely as a game and not a step towards taking drone flying to the physical level. Will I be entertained? That is the key question. Righ...

Esports Manager 2026 – PC Review

Ever dreamed about owning an Esports team, making all the calls, hiring, firing, negotiating deals and planning tactics? Then you might be in a niche market, but not to worry because Neurona Games have got you covered as much as you need to protect those bases. Will Esports Manager 2026 live up to those dreams or glory, or is it just a ticking time-bomb of debris about to be scattered all over the map. Is it the bomb, or will it just bomb When it comes to Esports, my knowledge is very limited. What do I know? Teams pitch against each other playing both attackers and defenders. Spend money between rounds for better equipment. High numbers of rounds will be played. Most of that was guesswork if I am honest. So what am I going to know about running an Esports team, or more to the point, wha...

Boxing Clever or Card Bored out of my Mind Having worked for small businesses most of my life, this shouldn't be much of a challenge, after all, I have learnt a lot. All I have to do is get in the goods and fulfill orders, the more I think about it the more I wonder how Playstrom have turned it into a game. I am sure that my sales targets as well as my anticipated excitement levels will both be reached...

My Time at Sandrock – Xbox X Review

Ever feel the need to get away from it all? Well it seems that Pathea have the solution with a great opportunity as a builder in Sandrock. Join a community in need of a little support to survive and help them out. My Time at Sandrock will hopefully allow me to put my generous self to work selflessly helping the locals. Have I really got what it takes to build the things that they need? Time to dig out my hammer, screwdriver and see what happens. My Time at Sandrock - Rocking out or letting the Sandman in? The wild west with a bit of a difference, not sure whether to dig out my stetson and six shooter and have a duel at sundown, or maybe I need to fix my toolbox and become a slave to the system. Either way, I hope to have a lot of fun revitalising Sandrock into a thriving community. Fing...

Truck Driver: The American Dream – Xbox Review

When Americans dream they dream big. What could be better than the freedom of driving down highway number 19 in an 18 wheeler? Pulling your air-horn every time you see a fellow trucker and chatting to all manner of folks that are hitchhiking. What a life, full of excitement and adventure. Fortunately for those not able to do it for real, Kyodai and Soedesco have teamed up to make Truck Driver: The American Dream a reality. Truck Driver: The American Dream - or the Gamer's Nightmare? Gameplay Truck Driver: The American Dream threw me in at the deep end. I was instantly driving in the worst storm ever with thunder and lightning all around. Explosions in close proximity were very distracting. Fortunately in all this, I was given the basic controls so that I didn't veer straight off the r...

Tenebris Pictura – Xbox Review

The world is a weird and wonderful place, and Pentadimensional has taken a slice of the weird and wonderful and captured in Tenebris Pictura. What do I really know about the paranormal, the fifth dimension or out of body experiences? Well not a lot, well I say that there was this one time when me and this girl were..... I think I'll leave that there. So time to strap on my big boy pants and enter the world where all is not as it seems. I'm sure that the padded cell can wait for me a little longer. Tenebris Pictura - What even does it mean? Google Translate Anyone? The look of Tenebris Pictura has definitely got my excitement levels up. It has a certain Lovecraftian feel to it that I really like. Hopefully, the gameplay will live up to my expectations. I have just drawn a huge pentagram a...

Re-Loaded – PC Review

In December 1996, when the internet was young and Google was less than a year old, the DVD format had just been released and Tom Holland was in nappies, Gremlin Interactive released Re-Loaded less than a year after the moderately successful Loaded. Cut to 2023 and it is the responsibility of Urbanscan to bring the trip down memory lane to the nostalgia driven masses. Time to fashion myself a mohawk and grab the nearest weapon of choice and head off to defeat the enemies and revisit my youth. Re-Loaded - Just another bullet in the chamber? Who doesn't like a little bit of retro action? A visit to the childhood memories that are so sacred in the process of growing up. A chance to force our children to endure the basic lives that we all led before they were even a tingle in our trousers. Ti...

Bandit Brawler – PC Review

After a hard day at work there is nothing better than a good bar fight, or so I am told. Titanite Games have decided to make that a reality for all with their latest release Bandit Brawler. Obviously, there are a few drawbacks, you have to rob and pillage a lot to be a true bandit, so that's officially now your day job. Time to see if I know the difference between a Haymaker and a Bolo punch in a few fights. Best get my sparkly dressing gown ready and some decent intro music, it's off I go to beat up some people. (please be aware that Thumb Culture does not affiliate itself with actual fights in real bars/clubs/supermarkets/petrol stations) Swing and a Miss or a Knockout Blow? I wonder if this game will take me back to my youth when I used to go out clubbing a lot. Bring it on and don't ...

Havendock – PC Preview

There was a time once when the oceans were full of only fish and whales. Beautiful mermaids would swim freely without the fear of banging into driftwood or having a plane crash on them. Times have changed, and YYZ has brought us Havendock to reflect on the different times that the world is in today. Do you have the skills to not only survive a wreck but thrive from it and let others thrive with you? Well, I guess it's time to find out for me. Pretty sure I'll need some supplies, so it's a packed lunch and a waterproof coat ready, and time to wash myself up on a little piece of land. Havendock - for those whose favourite colour is maroon. Havendock has its work cut out if it's going to make an impact on the masses of settlement building games. The pressure certainly is on in this cate...
