Martian Panic – PC Review

Run! NYX Digital Ltd has sent Martians to invade us with help from Funbox Media Ltd. They'll be arriving June 30th this year! Luckily we can fight back in Martian Panic, an arcade shooter. It'll be available on Steam for those who love rail shooters. Get off my planet! I don't play a lot of rail shooters, and the last one I could recall playing was Silent Hill; I must have wasted a good few tokens on that. I thought I would try and give the rail shooter genre another go and thought Martian Panic would be a good start. The visuals looked fun, and the characters seemed whacky. Let me know in the comment below what rail shooters you would recommend. Gameplay There are several characters for players to choose from, such as the travelling salesman or a teenage girl who is secretly an ...

Street Fighter 6 – PS5 Review

From The World Warrior to Turbo, endless hours in the early '90s for me were spent playing Street Fighter II with my pals. With iconic music and beloved characters, the hit Capcom game defined a new genre in which players faced of 1v1. Mastering your favourite fighters repertoire of moves with the aim of inflicting the humiliating "Perfect" gave serious bragging rights in the school yard. With the launch of Street Fighter 6 it's finally time to dust off my dragon punch and return to the series that consumed so much of my early gaming days. FIGHT! Street Fighter 6 Hits The Streets Played here on PS5 the game is also available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Steam. It can be purchased in Standard, Deluxe and Ultimate editions.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Switch Review

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the latest game in the Zelda series and the much-anticipated sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild (BotW). It is a single-player fantasy open-world RPG developed & published by Nintendo. Having been teased since E3 2019, fans have been chomping at the bit for Tears of the Kingdom (TotK). The game has sold over 10 million copies 3 days after release and even had the knock-on effect of BotW being a top seller again too. There were some strong opinions among players about Tears of the Kingdom being too similar to BotW but I feel fans won't be disappointed. I certainly wasn't as I found TotK is Breath of the Wild cranked up to 11 with its design and mechanics and the return of many familiar faces. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is...

Trouble Juice – PC Review

Do you want some quick and juicy fun? No, I'm not about to tell you there are hot singles in your area. I'm going to tell you about a new release from indie developer dietzribi. Trouble Juice is a rogue-like, twin-stick, 2D side-scrolling platformer featuring some questionable beverages. The fast-action gameplay is loosely wrapped in the premise of a Hunger Games-like competition, broadcast across the Universe. Your character will be attempting to clear numerous waves of enemies and fight bosses, all to be crowned champion and achieve their goals. Forget Hunger Games, welcome to the Thirsty Games A brief aside before we dive into Trouble Juice. The first commercial game from dietzribi, Toodee and Topdee, has recently been released on PlayStation. You can find my review of the PC r...

They're the ones who brought you Squad, another online shooter that was released back in September 2020. Starship Troopers was released for early access on Steam this May for £20.99.
