Sushi Bar Express – Switch Review

I was fortunate to look at Sushi Bar Express, a new simulation game that is sure to make you want to quit your career and become a sushi chef.

You can grab Sushi Bar Express for £24.99 on the Switch store. Are you a Cooking Mama fan looking for a new challenge? Being quite a big Cooking Mama fan, I was extremely excited to find out that a similar game was being released that focused completely on sushi. Although I myself do not like sushi, I was pleasantly surprised. If you are a fan of these types of simulation games, let me know below if you are excited t...

Cat out of the bag, fish out of water. It's not every day you get to have a great couch co-op experience, and this was one I was hoping would scratch that it. What caught my eye was how on earth they'll make a fish platform in this game. The art style is eye-catching, and I'm always looking to expand my game variety with more platformers. My brother and I will either have a lot of fun or end up not speaking after playing River Tails. Gameplay Play...

Ultimate Zombie Defense – PC Review

Ultimate Zombie Defense is a nice casual action twin-stick shooter made and published by the small team at Terror Dog Studios. Some team members have even worked on well-known games, like Warhammer 40K and Total War titles. It is available to purchase now for £3.99, alongside a carnival map DLC for £1.99 on Steam. Defend against the oncoming hordes! I remember playing an old flash computer game called Boxhead with my friend, and Ultimate Zombie Defense reminds me of that.

Aces & Adventures – PC Review

Aces & Adventures is the latest release from Yogscast Games (Golfie) alongside indie publisher Triple B Games. The game is a deckbuilding fantasy RPG where combat is powered by poker.
