Hypnospace Outlaw PC Review – Welcome to HypnoSpace

Welcome to HypnoSpace, remember the 90’s internet? When a virus meant annoying popups or premium rate dialers, the only social network you had was MySpace and most of the webpages you visited were on Geocities. Hypnospace is that late 90’s early 00’s internet, except now it’s beamed directly into your minds whilst you sleep, via a headband. Is it a dream remembered or a noughties nightmare? Gameplay Hypnospace Outlaw put’s you in the role of an enforcer. Employed by Hypnospace with the role of cleaning up and enforcing the laws or C.H.I.M.E. which stand ‘s for Content infringement, Harassment, Illegal or profane, Malicious software and Extralegal commerce, these laws serve to protect the users of Hypnospace.

In my 25 years of life I'm still very much unsure what route I want to go down in life (well, aside working with the amazing team which is Thumb Culture!)!, so I figured if I tried Mango Cart Simulator it would either show I want to be a mango salesperson or I don't want to use that route, am I cut out for this kind of job? Gameplay Mango Cart Simulator is developed and published by AkriGames,  They are an independent games studio based in Berlin, Germany and their plan is to bring out the fun and challenging games for people, dropping Mango Cart Simulator as their first game it sure did bring me a whole lot of challenges!

Steel Division 2 Beta PC Preview – Grand Strategic Gold

Over the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to play some of Eugen Systems new World War II Real-time strategy game Steel Division 2. Having played the first Steel Division, I was thoroughly excited to give the sequel a proper try. This time around, the RTS action takes place on the eastern front, instead of Normandie. Steel Division 2 will be the first game from Eugen Systems to be independently published. I was a bit worried Steel Division wouldn't get a sequel due to almost half of the development team going on strike over unpaid wages in early 2018. Steel Division 2 was initially slated to be released on Steam on April 4th but was delayed to May 2nd. It has now been delayed again until June 20th so that the dev team could take player feedback and make changes to the game where ...

Project Highrise: Architect’s Edition PS4 Review – Sim Tower Reinvented

So who here is old enough to remember SimTower published in 1994 by Maxis on the PC?  I spent literally days on it trying to build the ultimate skyscraper in order to make lots of money and all the while keeping people happy!  Well, thanks to developer SomaSim and publishers Kalypso and Kasedo Games you can now relive, or experience for the very first time, the whole 2D tower building simulation game on modern-day machinery without the need for emulators.  I give you, Project Highrise: Architect's Edition! Gameplay Available across all formats, I have been playing the PS4 version of Project Highrise which I won't lie, felt a little strange on a controller rather than a mouse.  The goal is simple, build a tower and run it as efficiently as you can, all the time keeping the tenants hap...

NASCAR Heat 3 PS4 Review – Dizzy My Head Is Spinning

The market for retro gaming is huge right now. Since Nintendo have released two retro consoles, Sony recently announced their first and you know there will be a mini PS2 to follow. Xbox users mock PlayStation fanboys for a lack of backward compatibility, which does seem to be a real oversight on the part of Sony. But if I put aside the nostalgia of playing childhood games, and the cool factor of having a mini console by my TV, I do often wonder if I really miss the way games used to be. Were they any good? Did the simpler controls make for more fun? Does mo-cap and 3D rendering make for better games? Well wonder no more, with NASCAR Heat 3 you can remember exactly how bad games used to be. 704 Games is the latest studio to release a NASCAR title. The original came out in 2002, NASCA...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 Review – Better than Fifa?

Pro Evolution Soccer by Konami has recently delivered their 2018/19 instalment of their franchise that has been running since 2001.  As a direct rival to EA's Fifa games, many gamers favour one or the other and I was certainly influenced early on into Fifa as it seemed more popular with my friends, what with having all of the major football licenses, ensuring you could always play as your team.  How does Pro Evo 2019 look, play and feel?  Let's kick off and find out! Gameplay Pro Evo 2019 has disappointingly, as some of you will already be aware, lost the license to the UEFA Champions League after holding it for 9 years.  EA looks to of snapped it up as it featured in their official reveal trailer back in June (release date 28th September).  Don't let this put you off Pro Evo 2019 ho...

Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! Review – Pile of Mash or Roasty Goodness?

A game about potato people.  Seriously is this really a thing?  I remember Rimmer from the TV show Red Dwarf talking about the "king of the potato people" but has the delusion finally become a reality?...well in a way yes, yes it has! Fresh out on PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! is a very strange simulation game developed by Daylight Studios based in Singapore, whereby you manage a team of potato people who work in a weapon forge.  Here you oversee the forging and selling of their wares to other potato folk who are looking for the right weapon for the quest they are undertaking.  I really couldn't make this up, this is an "emerging genre" according to the press kit! Gameplay You control a potato who has inherited a weapon forge from his late grandfather and...

House Flipper PC Review – If Only Housework Was Really This Easy!

House Flipper is a Casual DIY / building sim from Empyrean. Basically you’re a one man renovation machine. Working from doing odd jobs for people who need repairs etc. all the way up to flipping houses for a profit (Guess the title makes sense.. although not going to lie I was imagining flipping houses like burgers, with a giant spatula). The biggest question for me was, Can Virtual house work actually be fun? Let’s find out… Gameplay Let’s be honest, you have to be a pretty ‘special’ person to enjoy doing house work or DIY, I’m sure 99% of people would much rather have someone else do it for them (or else why would house keepers and repairmen have jobs?). Well at the start of House Flipper you’re basically a housekeeper. You need to do odd jobs to earn cash to take on and unlock t...
