Weird West – Review

The Wild West is one of those magical places that can meld with pretty much anything. There was a film in 2011 called Cowboys & Aliens, and I’ve been spending a lot of time watching a YouTuber by the name of Boylei Hobby Time, who is creating his own magnificent

Farming Simulator 22 – Review

Long before I joined the ranks here at MKAU Gaming, I worked as a farmhand on a turf farm. It wasn’t particularly exciting work, but there was something strangely calming about driving a tractor back and forth, mowing the grass, spreading fertiliser and weed killer, and then going home covered

Grow: Song Of The Evertree – Review

With so many high-octane and fast-paced shooters releasing in a short window of time, it’s nice to know that there are games that are happy to slow things down. Developed by Prideful Sloth and published by 505 Games, a new relaxing world builder has entered the chat, and that game

Beyond Blue (Nintendo Switch) – Review

The ocean is vast, scary, and full of mystery and wonder. I have been obsessed with animals since a small one and the thought of creatures living in one of my biggest fears; deep water always fascinated me. ‘Beyond Blue’ developed by E-Line Media is a stunning, single-player, narrative journey

Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All – Review

Surprisingly, I am pretty into car games. I grew up around my dad dicking around under a hood and often had guy friends through school chasing the next cheapest part for the tiniest boost in performance. ‘Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All’ by Team6 Games Studios, takes you to the

Weird West – Preview

MotoGP 21 (Xbox Series X) – Review

There are a few things in this world that will remain constant; death, taxes, and yearly installments of sports genre games. While I agree that MotoGP 21 is a racing sim, the sport itself has been thoroughly explored in the latest edition of the long-running franchise. From the three-tiered campaign
