Resident Evil Village Review

Resident Evil Village has finally released, we've played it, and we've completed it! Capcom are the developers and publishers behind this masterpiece. I had the absolute pleasure of playing this incredible game on the PlayStation 5. Resident Evil Village is set some three years after the Baker mansion setting in Resident Evil VII, also known as Resident Evil VII Biohazard. We take control of Ethan Winters again during Resident Evil Village. You seriously need to have played Resident Evil VII to be able to fully understand this game, a lot of the story will not make sense otherwise. Resident Evil Village - We're Not In Kansas Louisiana Anymore! So, is Resident Evil Village the end of Ethan Winters chapter in the Resident Evil Universe? You're not going to find that answer out here, we're ...

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition Review

Metro Exodus, the final part of the Metro video game trilogy. Based on the world created by Dmitry Glukhovsky's series of novels starting with Metro 2033. Glukhovsky also collaborated in developing the games. Part of a franchise including a Metro 2033 board game released in 2011 and a planned feature film. Continuing Artyom's story in this post-apocalyptic version of the world where nuclear war devastated the world and led to various monsters coming into existence. As well different factions including Communists, Neo-Nazis, neutral groups to gangs of bandits. Metro Exodus definitely got my tikhar going! Having never played any of the previous Metro titles I was extremely dubious about picking this up. Would I appreciate a storyline partway through? Also what have I missed out on already?...

URG Review – Utopos Rocketship Game

URG (formerly known as Gun Tech) is the latest title to come out of closed beta and hit the Steam store by Jani Penttinen. Penttinen is known for a release very similar to URG many moons ago. That game is Utopos and was released for the Atari ST in 1993. On researching more into Penttinen and Utopos Publishing, it also looks like there is a re-make of Utopos in the works. This is currently in closed beta, so we don't have much to go from. However, it looks very similar to URG. Utopos Rocketship Game - Set Radars To On Top-down shooters can be great games, the last one I played was Steambirds Alliance. I was hooked, so I am excited to see how URG plays out and who knows? I might even have to revisit the Atari ST, I am pretty sure someone I know has one! If you have already played URG I wo...

Postal REDUX Review – A Symphony of Slaughter (17+)

Postal REDUX is all the glorious murder from the original 1997 PC game Postal but remade in HD and with the Unreal Engine 4. Once again it has been developed by Running With Scissors but this time around it has been published by MD Games. It was originally released on PC in 2016, Switch in November of 2020, PlayStation 4 in March in the US, and April for the UK. Postal REDUX was announced in 2014 but the PlayStation 4 version was cancelled in 2017 due to poor sales on the PC. In Postal REDUX the air ripens with the odours of the dead and dying. It smells like...Victory Thankfully, MD Games announced a port of the game in September of 2020, and here we are. We have the original game and all its expansion packs, so 23 stages in total. Back in the day, Postal received moderate reviews...

SNK vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium Review

Developed by SNK and Capcom comes SNK vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium. Originally released back in 1999 for the Neo Geo Pocket and now available on the Nintendo Switch. Let's see if it holds faithful to the original or does it suffer the same fate as many titles that we have seen come from this franchise in the past. SNK vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium - Some Things Should Stay In The Past Being a huge fan of retro games and classic handheld games I had high expectations going into SNK vs Capcom but just maybe it just fell into another cash grab because it just wasn't what I was expecting from two giant franchises.
