Pinball FX – PC Review

Pinball FX is a name we have seen quite a bit in the Pinball gaming arena. However, recently Zen Studios have released Pinball FX with a ton of major updates since its previous release. A free-to-play Steam title with the option to add more tables at a cost, the question is - Is it worth it? Bringing An Arcade Classic Game Into The Digital Age I absolutely love a good pinball machine. Luckily I live in an area which has multiple arcades that have them available to play. I have been looking for a Pinball title for some time and always put off downloading Pinball FX. I think deep down I was always worried that it wouldn't live up to expectations. Gameplay Unfortunately, Pinball FX is really lacking in the storyline/narrative area. Thankfully they have focused on what actually makes a goo...

Shardpunk: Verminfall – PC Review

Shardpunk: Verminfall is described by its developer as a "tactical squad-based survival strategy game, based in a steampunk, rat-infested world". Developed by Clockwork Pile and published by Retrovibe Games, Shardpunk: Verminfall is available for PC. It is available now and will set you back £9.99/$11.99 on Steam and will require 3GB of storage. Survival of the Rattest Now, I'll start off the same way the game does, by telling you that Shardpunk: Verminfall is not an easy game. Basically, you're going to die. After that, you'll start the game anew, with new skills and new characters to choose from. Then you'll die again. So on and so forth. I'm sure more competent players will be able to play the game all the way through with fewer restarts than I did. But not many will complete it wi...
