BPM: Bullets Per Minute Review

Bullets Per Minute (BPM) is a 90s inspired dungeon game developed by Awe Interactive and published by Playtonic Friends. Initially released in September 2020, we take a look at the latest release for Xbox. Bullets Per Minute - "Live Fast, Die Fast!" With the main gist of the game to shoot down the hordes of demons in time with the music, we thought it best to hand it over to our in-house drummer to see what he made of it. Gameplay At its heart Bullets Per Minute is a Doom-inspired FPS rhythm game. Everything you do as a player must be in time with the music; shooting, jumping, reloading you fail to do this and your gun will jam and the hordes of demons will quickly strike you down - they also attack to the rhythm. I'll admit it took quite a long time to get used to the movement ...

Monster Harvest Review

Monster Harvest, a pixel art title developed by Maple Powered Games and published by Merge games was released to us in August 2021. The title is available across most platforms and is out now. Is This Just Another Farming Simulator? I am always dubious when it comes to farming simulators, they can sometimes be pretty tedious. However, when they get the storyline right along with some epic gameplay. You can be onto a winner that will keep you entertained for months if not years. Join me below as I check out Monster Harvest. Gameplay Monster Harvest has a storyline that is very similar to other titles alike. A family member reaches out to who you haven't spoken to in a while and of course, he is asking you for a favour. As he has been far too busy to look after his farm due to important ...
