Airheart Review- Fishing Ain’t What it Used to Be

Blindflug Studios have decided to take us on a journey to the stratosphere, but will it be a meteoric climb for Airheart or an arduous climb to the top. Flying goggles at the ready and a tuna sandwich (you'll see) and it's time to pilot my plane into the sky. Gameplay Airheart is a twin stick shooter, a crafting game and a hunting game all in one. Bargain! The sky is split into different levels of altitude and your quest is to reach the top. Not just reach the top, but catch the legendary Skywhale. Launch your plane and play a little tutorial to get used to the controls. Learn to steer, to shoot, to harpoon things, all the essentials, then set off for real. So what's to do? Well you need money, and money comes from fishing. Simply fly into the fish to catch them, it couldn't be easier. B...

Roccat Cross Headset Review – Something Like A Phenomenon?

I don't know about you but over the years I have had a few different gaming machines and being a bit of a family guy with small children I can't always get to enjoy my gaming in the evening feeling the explosions rippling across my carpet from the subwoofer nor the sounds of gunfire whistling around the room as I may wake them all up! As a result I have had a fair few headsets over the years and this has also led to the issue of having various types of headset to suit the device I am playing on. Enter the ROCCAT Cross, a stereo headset that offers multi-platform connectivity between your devices. On unboxing the Roccat Cross I was greeted by the headset as seen above along with 2 interchangeable leads and the instruction book. Of the 2 anti-tangle leads, one featured a 1.2m sin...

Hello Neighbor Review – Horror and stealth in your street.

Hello Neighbor is a horror stealth game from Dynamic Pixels and tiny Build and it has just been released on iOS devices and PS4, it could already be played on mobile, PC and Xbox. It is a software survival puzzle game with a really unique style. American spelling aside (neighbour has a U in it and so does colour) I turned off my spell check and got on with reviewing this beautifully weird game. Gameplay Hello Neighbor is broken down into acts and in each one the house is very different and increasingly expansive. The game launches with you as a kid in the street who witnesses something strange in his neighbor’s small suburban house. You have to use stealth cunning and puzzle-solving skills to negotiate the map and find out what that nasty neighbor was doing. Get seen or noticed by him an...

Smoke and Sacrifice Review – More like Rage, Smoke and Sacrifice

O man that looks like a cool area -dead, reload save- O wow look at that creature I wonder what it -dead, reload save- ALRIGHT WE ARE GONNA STAND STILL! -dead, reload save-.....Welcome to the wonderful world of Smoke and Sacrifice developed by Solar Sail Studio and published by Cure Digital of the Nintendo Switch and on Steam. Pull up your chair, ready your eyes, and lets dive into my review! Smoke and Sacrifice is a top down, survival, crafting, open world, don't die, narrative driven RPG. You start off the game as the female protagonist Sachi working in a field. You are told to go fetch your child for the rite of the first born. Already in my head I know nothing good is coming from this. From that point on the story is bleak and dark because you sacrifice your first born to th...

Lust For Darkness – PC Review – Enter deep into the unknown, very deep.

Movie Games Lunarium bring us Lust For Darkness, an immersive puzzle based story driven quest for …. well something. I don't want to give too much away. So without further ado I shall don my strap-on and zip up my gimp mask ready for an adventure into the unknown. Maybe. Gameplay After a brief warning about epilepsy and a suggestion of 'playing at night with headphones on for a more immersive experience' you find yourself in a locked room. Incidentally, I didn't play at night in a darkened room with headphones on. My initial reaction to that was F**k that. It was the sensible and recommended option for those who like peaceful sleep. Movement is the standard mouse to look around and WASD to move around. Lust For Darkness has done something rather unusual when interacting with objec...

The Incredibles Lego Game Review – Does The Formula Still Work?

Adding to the Lego gaming franchise that is brought to us by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and Traveller's Tales comes Disney Pixar The Incredibles. Launched just in time with the release into cinema of the second instalment of The Incredibles movies, is the Lego gaming franchise still its humorous fun self or has it grown old and tired? Gameplay As ever, The Incredibles game follows the very much tried and tested Lego gaming formula comprising of witty dialogues, short dynamic cut scenes and essentially teamwork between characters to solve puzzles and complete the levels. Here we get to play as The Incredible family, starting off with Mr Incredible and Elastogirl as we are thrown straight into the action onboard a huge tunnelling machine. Now it is at this point I must ...
