Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy – Yes it is that good!

Wow, just wow!  From the moment that family friendly Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy was delivered through my door last Friday we as a household have been hooked.  As soon as the familiar voice-over begins on the intro screen it is as if I have been transported back to when I was 16 years old when the original first edition came out on the the Playstation 1.  I must confess that at this point I wasn't a huge console gamer, the PS1 infact belonged to my 8 year old sister who had parted with her birthday money earlier that year at Woolworth's.  I was still pretty much hooked on the Atari ST however changes were beginning to happen as many of my friends began to go down the console route. So does Crash Bandicoot live up to the hype that it has generated since its release?  Well quiet si...

Seasons After Fall Review – Ori For The PS4?

The very first thing you will notice about  Seasons After Fall, this charming little puzzle platformer developed by French company Swing Swing Submarine is its gorgeous audio-visual presentation at the start of the game. It reminded me very much of a scene in Watership Down (If you haven’t seen this movie yet, make sure you do and have a box of tissues at the ready) I was very excited to receive this to review because I just love platformers, and platformers with puzzles involved are a win win! Plus, who doesn’t enjoy playing as a cute fox? Join me as we look at the aspects of this visually delightful game. Gameplay To put it as simply as possible, it’s a beautiful 2D Puzzle Platformer, but let’s get you up to speed a little better…The title starts you in the role of a ‘seed’ or a sp...

Splody Review – Has Bomberman Been Resurrected

Splody, by development studio Dashing Strike, is the latest Bomberman clone that has exploded its way onto the indie game circuit.  Created specifically for PC and accessible through Steam, the development of Splody is thanks to the founder and owner of Dashing Strike, Jimb Esser. Jimb, who has worked developing online multiplayer games since 2003, has been the brains behind games such as City of Heroes, Star Trek Online and Neverwinter Online therefore is no novice when it comes to the online genre.  As a child I loved Bomberman so I was very interested to have a play on Splody to see how it stacked up! For anyone, dare I say it, that has never seen a Bomberman style game before (don't make me feel old!) this is how it works.  Move fast, drop bombs, collect powerups, kill or be ...

Waddle Home PSVR Review – A New Gem Or Left Feeling Frosty?

Waddle Home is a game about rescuing cutesy little penguins, what I'm saving them from is beyond me. Although I'm leading them to a rescue ship which looks exactly like a UFO. Wait it is a UFO, surely that's abduction right? Am I leading poor, defenceless penguins to be abducted by aliens for testing? For all I know I could be sending these helpless penguins to their doom. Luckily the game leads you to believe you're doing good, so I'll just agree for now. The game is available on PSN, Steam, Oculus and Samsung Gear. This was on PSVR Starting the level off, you see a caged penguin. Aiming the beam 'emitted from the PS4 controller' towards the cage then a simple tap of the X button releases the penguin. When I think about penguins, I think of them waddling along anywhere they please,...

Lets take a look. Selecting your character you can choose to play as either the strong and dimwitted Mike, the smart and agile Captain Dorian or with the new "Forgotten Land" DLC, as Thione. ...

Ever thought of yourself as the next Jimi Hendrix or Slash? Always wanted a guitar that shot bullets at floating skulls? Ever wanted to ride dinosaurs, sharks with lasers, tigers and jet-powered crocodiles? Then, your dreams have come true in Air Guitar Warrior! Here you can be the Rock God/Demon Killer you have always wanted to be!
