Pure Pool Review – The Most Realistic Pool Game Ever?

Pure Pool by devs VooFoo Studios and published by Ripstone Ltd is not a game about swimming, nor is it, thankfully, a water cleanliness simulator.

If you have tried this game out, let us know what you think about it in the comments section below! Gameplay If you enjoy your games of pool down the pub or club with your friends, I won't lie they seem like a distant memory at the moment, then this is definitely the next best thing to busy yourself with. VooFoo has seemingly released a pool game that is actually close to the real thing. There are no silly po...

Airplane Mode – Are We There Yet?!

Grab your luggage, we have a flight to catch. Airplane Mode is a simulation game available on PC from developers Bacronym, and publisher AMC. Airplane Mode can be purchased on Steam for £9.29 at the time of writing. We are told that "Airplane Mode delivers all the thrills of a real-time, six-hour commercial airline flight—in Coach. At least you've got a window seat. Buckle up.", let's see what I think. Gameplay When you first start Airplane Mode you are greeted with the main menu which consists of language, graphical, resolution options and two flight options. Available is 2 hours and 5 minutes, and 5 hours and 45 minutes. These are real-time, not in-game time like we see on some other simulation games. I chose the shortest of the flights at 2 hours and 5 minutes. I was then inside an...

Star Wars Squadrons – Pew Pew Pew

Within gaming, Star Wars titles seem to be extremely popular with some but not others. It is highly possible they could be Trekkies but there really is a mixed bag.

Star Wars Squadrons Is This The Game You Are Looking For? Having been excited for this release for a while it is finally here. Let's find out how I got on and don't forget you can always catch up with us on social media. If you have already had some hands-on time with Star Wars Squadrons do let us know your thought...
