Tour De France 2021 - It's Not All Downhill Coming from a gamer who loves sports games and has possibly tried every kind of sports game there is.

Terra Nil Preview

From developers, Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital, available for Windows (Steam) comes Terra Nil. Free lives are more known for their wacky games, that don't take themselves too seriously (Cricket through the ages, Gorn and Broforce) They've taken a slightly more serious approach for Terra Nil.

Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Preview

Ever fancied being the next Jake Peralta shouting "Nine-Nine!" or perhaps you want people to "Respect my authoritah!"?

Wreckfest PS5 Review

From Finnish developer Bugbear Entertainment comes Wreckfest, a racing and vehicular combat game published by THQ Nordic. Bugbear are no strangers to racing and demolition derby games, previously making the Flatout Series. In fact, I learned that the genre is becoming somewhat of a speciality of theirs, which initially grabbed my attention about Wreckfest. Taking this experience, Bugbear has made a game I can best describe as if Gran Turismo and Burnout had a baby and this was the result. Bugbear struck gold upon releasing the game in early access after an unsuccessful Kickstarter. As a result, the following few years allowed them to reach their goals and release the full game on PC and then on consoles. Wreckfest is available now on X-Box & Playstation as well as Windows. All is f...

Castle Flipper Review

Welcome to my review of Castle Flipper which is brought to us by developers Pyramid Games and publishers Ultimate Games. Castle Flipper is a medieval castle renovation game with similar traits to House Flipper. You can buy Castle Flipper now on Steam. Castle Flipper - Build Your Legacy, One Block At A Time!

Let us know in the comments if you've played Castle Flipper, check out my previous review here. Gameplay We start Castle Flipper with a basic tutorial that shows us how to use our arsenal of tools and how we go about cleaning up. The controls are relatively simple in Castle Flipper, nothing too stressful here. No complicated key bindings or a difficult UI to naviga...

Poker Club Playstation 4 Review

Once upon a time, I considered myself to have the best poker face in all the land. I was that confident in my playing that when I was a bit short on cash for the month, I would organise a game with an ex-girlfriend's family. I did this knowing full-well they just weren't very good at the game and we would fleece them every time. Also, playing poker until 4am after hours in the pub I used to run, these were good times, but they were a very long time ago. The less said about that poker club, the better! The only time I have played poker since has been in the form of mini-games in games such as Yakuza and Red Dead Redemption. So it's fair to say that my experience since has been a bit lacking, that's why I was keen to see what Poker Club had to offer. Poker Club - Is It A Flop Or A Ro...
