5 Rift of the NecroDancer Tracks You’ll Have On Repeat

It’s been just over a month since Cadence and friends were sucked into the modern world in a blaze of musical glory and I'm still not quite over it. Rift of the NecroDancer brought the best of Crypt of the NecroDancer and a Guitar Hero-like mechanic today and mixed it all up with a first-class roster of composers, because—in the words of Raul Julia’s M. Bison—of course! Danny Baranowsky assembled the best of best of musical talent, both Crypt mainstays and newcomers, and got them to work their magic on the soundtrack. And let’s just say, you’ll be hard-pressed to get it out of your head! A soundtrack like this makes choosing highlights a mammoth task, but if you’re playing this game, a challenge is par for the course. So, here are five of my favourite tracks I’ve been listening to on re...

LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi Review

We first shared the news of the LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi (set number 71438) back in July last year however it only released last October. And yes, it has taken me a while to get through my backlog to be able to bring you this review. That's not even due to the fact that the LEGO Art LOVE (set number 31214) skipped right to the front. Mario time! Before I get into the nitty gritty of this build, let's quickly go over the product specs/details. The LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi is an 18+ set, not necessarily because of the build techniques but due io it not being a playset. This is definitely a collection piece. Although the £115 price tag may also be giveaway for this! Released in October the set is available on the LEGO website now and is even eligible for a ...

Currently Playing: Old Shooter Games

As of late, I’ve been playing some old shooter games. Some I never had the chance to play before, while others I’m giving another play through on. For shooter games, I don’t enjoy as many of the new ones anymore, and I couldn’t really say why. But when I go back to older games, I still find them just as enjoyable as I did when I first played them. I’d love to see some games be made that play like Dark Watch, The Suffering, or even Ghost Hunter. I don’t overly play multiplayer as usually the ones I enjoy end up losing support from the devs. for example, Garden Warfare and Exoprimal. Or maybe my taste in multiplayer is just terrible! Anyway this list is for anyone who is looking for an old cheap single-player game. Here are some of the games I've currently played! Condemned: Criminal Ori...
