PopSlinger Review

For any lover of 90's, SNES, and arcade side scrolling beat em ups, boy do we have a game for you. PopSlinger is a side-scrolling 2D action game developed and published by Funky Can Creative and was released on January 26th for the Nintendo Switch. I usually play games with a rich story but I sure do love me some side scrolling goodness. Mario is a classic but I have a fondness for the arcade style side scrolling. Going to any movie theater or pizza place, I was bound to be playing one of those arcade machines. So something like this is a great game for me to play and review. PopSlinger - It's funny how the 90's have reached the point where it is considered nostalgia If you're excited to play PopSlinger or enjoy the game and want to share your thoughts, leave a comment down below o...

Gravity Chase Review

Gravity Chase is the latest retro-inspired anti-gravity racer developed and published by Repixel8 (Velocity G, Formula Retro Racing). Races take place within or outside of tunnel tracks. They require skill and precision to pick up powerups and keep ahead of the competition. Gravity Chase is available on Xbox consoles and Steam as of January 21st, 2022. Gravity Chase may be on rails, but don't let that fool you. As a kid, I never spent much time in what I would consider a full-on arcade. Sure there were some cabinets in places like the movie theater, but not really any buildings dedicated primarily to them. I did spend enough time playing some though to recognize a game that could easily have been in one of those cabinets when I see one. Gravity Chase is certainly one of those games. ...

Blackwind Review

Developed by Drakkar Dev and published by Blowfish Studios. Blackwind is one hell of a hack and slash platformer that will be available across most platforms. On checking Blackwind out via the trailers I was getting LAPD Futurecop vibes. I do wonder just how much this will live up to my last gaming experience similar to this. Go To Your Safe Place, On This Occasion, It's A Mech! This will be the first title I play on the Playstation 5 so I have no idea what to expect or what is in store. So join me as I start a new adventure in gaming and in Blackwind. Gameplay As soon as the game starts we jump into the storyline learning briefly what the current mission was supposed to be. James Hawkins, the son of the famous Professor Hawkins are on board the Pandora on their way to Medusa-42. With ...

Pixel Art Powerhouses Coming in 2022

In what seems like a heartbeat, 2022 is now in full swing and already filled with ample gaming promise. Titles like Horizon: Forbidden West and Elden Ring already have gamers aboard the ray-traced and perfectly rendered hype train, eagerly waiting to see what modern marvels are in store this new year. But down the quirky and colourful virtual tracks of indie gaming, there’s a different hype train rolling by. No less intricate in its design, but with a more ‘92 than ‘22 kind of flair. The pixel art hype train! Pixel art indie games have seen a tremendous surge in popularity in recent years. And if this year’s release schedule is anything to go by, they show zero signs of slowing down yet. And we at Thumb Culture are all kinds of here for it and ready to jump aboard! Here are just a f...

After The Fall – Quest 2 Review

Welcome to my review of After The Fall. This is a new VR game and was developed and published by Vertigo Games (creators of Arizona sunshine). This is a game full of potential, especially when it is like Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood. A VR version of those games was definitely needed. Now I can actually feel like I'm there slaying the zombies in a snowy apocalypse. Left 4… Oh Wait, After The Fall As previously stated, the game structure is quite similar to Left 4 Dead and the likes. However, this is not a bad thing due to the increasing pressure of those games to come back. You know the ‘’old’’ go from A to B but have safe houses scattered in the middle. This is not a bad plot either, the safe houses in the middle can be used to spend your harvest (the currency dropped from zom...

Nerf Legends Review

Nerf Legends by devs Fun Labs and published by GameMill Entertainment is a first-person shooter, based on the iconic Nerf range of toy weapons. Nerf Legends - It's Nerf Or Nothing! Available across all consoles, was I ready to experience a futuristic Nerf rather than the sting of a foam dart between my eyes? It's time to go to the next level on the PS5! If you enjoy my review, be sure to track us down on social media and give us a follow! Gameplay Having four sons, Nerf has been a pretty big deal when it came to them growing up. I have an armoury of Nerf weapons in the loft at the moment where they have outgrown them however the littlest son is getting to that age where he can have a play soon. With Nerf Legends I really expected an FPS that allows you to safely run and gun your...

Halo Infinite Multiplayer Review

From the launch of Combat Evolved in 2001 to Halo Infinite in 2021, Halo has captured the imagination of players on a global scale. With the original title generating a whopping $170,000,000 in 5 years through Xbox sales alone... It's no surprise then, that multiple developers & publishers have gotten involved over the years to try and grab their piece of the pie. The latest addition to the franchise, Halo Infinite, is brought to us by 343 Industries and Xbox Game Studios. Finally released in December 2021, Halo Infinite brings us a much-needed distraction from the troubles of the last 2 years...for those on Xbox and Windows that is. Boots on the ground! Kind of, sort of... If you've ever played a first-person shooter, you'll probably be familiar with the term "boots on the ground". ...

KEO Preview

KEO is a new team-based vehicular combat game now available via Early Access on Steam. The post-apocalyptic, remote-controlled vehicle rumble is in development by Redcatpig Studio and published by Digital Matters Publishing. The game has already been in development for a few years and is currently planning for release sometime in 2022. Remote Cars + 3v3 Battle Arena = KEO in a Nutshell For those of us that grew up when the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 were current gen, I can't imagine there wasn't a pre-teen or teenage boy/girl around that didn't play some version of the Twisted Metal series. The carnage, the ridiculous characters and vehicles, and oh man the crazy fun. The first footage I saw of KEO reminded me of the good times I'd had of going over to friend's house to play. Did yo...

Battlefield 2042 Review

Well, it's finally here. The latest instalment of the Battlefield series has come to life with Battlefield 2042. Despite the new venue for vehicular and infantry combat, the Battlefield games are known for, it has been met with some harsh criticism from long-time fans of the series. Some feel that DICE has made poor development decisions with some of its changes to the game. Others believe that DICE took Battlefield 2042 out of the oven too soon due to deadlines set by publisher Electronic Arts. Regardless, Battlefield 2042 is currently available for purchase on PC via Steam, Origin, and Epic as well as Xbox Series X/S/One and PlayStation 5/4. Much like my bullets, Battlefield 2042 misses the mark I have been a fan of the Battlefield series since I built my first PC in college and picked...
