Supplice – PC Early Access Preview

Supplice is a retro style FPS now available in Early Access. In development by Mekworx with publishing by Hyperstrange (Jupiter Hell, Frozenheim), this throwback to the mid 1990's is heavily inspired by Doom and its mod community. You can pick it up today only on Steam. Supplice Throws Doom Into the Modern Day There have been many games like Doom since it debuted 30 years ago. From the original Quake and Rise of the Triad to modern entries like Dusk and ULTRAKILL to name a few. Though Doom probably wasn't my first PC game I'm sure it may have been for a lot of 90's kids. And despite the number of similar games I've seen over the years, Supplice is one that stood out to me. I'm glad to have the opportunity to play it and share the experience with you. Let me know which 90's FPS was your f...

Deceive Inc – PS5 Review

Deceive Inc puts you in the shoes of a spy. This great title comes from a team of 18 members at the Canadian developer Sweet Bandits Studio. If you've ever wanted to follow in the footsteps of James Bond or Ethan Hunt this could be the title for you. Your mission should you choose to accept it I was a massive fan of the game Spy Vs Spy in the mid-1980s. I remember spending hours with a friend setting traps and looking for items to escape. Deceive Inc looks like it has the potential to be this generation's Spy vs Spy. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to test my spy skills against the best the internet has to offer. Gameplay Deceive Inc is a fantastic multiplayer game, where you can play solo or as a team of 3.  The mission entails infiltrating the designated location undetect...

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix – PS5 Review

Welcome to the long-named anime-styled arena fighting game Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix. Created by Pyramid and published by PQube. Released on March 16th of this year and currently available to play on PlayStation and Switch for £24.99 with an additional costume pack for £7.99. Let the show begin! I thought I would take another go with a visual novel-styled game, and Alice Gear was what I picked. The synopsis looked good and said, "Vice has taken your world and only you can take it back! As an actress with an aptitude for wielding this special gear, you train under AEGiS". Wielding highly advanced weaponry seemed interesting, and this game's selection looked good. I'm hoping that you build bonds with your team to fight the oncoming Vice enemies. Gameplay In the beginnin...
