I’m back with another game to add to the notch in my belt with ‘Hellpoint’. Hellpoint is a Sci-Fi, action role-playing game published by TinyBuild and developed by Cradle and I must say, I actually quite enjoyed it with a few rage sessions added as seasoning on top. If you’re

Disintegration – Review

I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of robots and A.I., just the idea and imagery of a robot or android with it’s own intelligence adapting and learning enhancements, is an incredible concept. Didn’t help when movies like Terminator and Robocop came out and threw hardcore violence into the mix.

Minecraft Dungeons – Review

I was very late to the Minecraft craze, I was pessimistic that something that looked like a kid’s game could have any sort of depth or complexity that I for one crave as a gamer. Boy, was I wrong. I eventually jumped onto that bandwagon and wow was I obsessed.

Mafia II: Definitive Edition – Review

Given its remarkable similarities with the Grand Theft Auto franchise, it’s a wonder why I hadn’t tried the Mafia series all those years ago when it was released. As we approach the 10th anniversary of Mafia II, games developer Hangar 13 have been working on something in secret, something many

Ion Fury – Review

Being a bit of an older gamer, I was around when first person shooters started making their way onto computers. The likes of Duke Nukem 3D, the very first DOOM title, Wolfenstein 3D, and my personal favourite, Redneck Rampage. These were the games that every aspiring gamer had in their

Resident Evil 3 – Review

With a few notable exceptions, remakes and remasters of games are rarely a good thing. Sure, we get to benefit from some incredible updates to graphics, but it is unlikely to have any game changing results, often just recycling the game play and ultimately feeling like the game wasn’t as

Resident Evil: Resistance – Review

Most zombie based multiplayer games will have teams of players facing up against countless zombies, blasting away without worry for ammunition and simply trying to get from one safe room to another.
