Acolyte – Review

I don’t often review games anymore because I don’t have the time to play games for fun, let alone have enough time to properly dedicate to a game review. When Acolyte needed to be checked out for review, I offered to review it since our other PC reviewers were already

Capcom Fighting Collection – Review

Back in the 90s when arcades around the world were still booming, there was a highly likely chance every arcade goer played one of Capcom’s many coin-operated machines scattered around not just in arcades, but also at shopping centres, cinemas, convenience stores, and more. While 1987’s ‘Street Fighter’ was the

‘Squad’ has been around for some time now, and with the release of update 3.0 comes new maps and a new faction introducing Marine forces. The most significant addition is the new amphibious gameplay offering aquatic assault vehicles such as the MTLB APC and the RHIB watercraft. In this latest

Final Vendetta – Review

Back in the 80s and 90s, the beat ’em up genre was one of the pioneers of the arcade scene, with classics such as Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage just to name a few. They brought something unique to the arcades where instead of people playing solo

Cult Of The Lamb – Preview

Devolver Digital has come out swinging with another gem of an indie game in the form of Cult of the Lamb. At first glance, this game does admittedly look a tad confusing, as it showcases a mix of elements and styles from other previously released gaming titles, e.g. city building,

Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover – Review

Not to be confused with the Chinese martial art popularised by Jackie Chan in the classic Drunken Master movies, Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover is the sequel to Drunken Fist, released in 2019, and published by EastAsiaSoft and developed by DEKLAZON. The original game was panned by critics for its

Postal: Brain Damaged – Review

Postal 4 was a blast, but Postal: Brain-Damaged takes the Postal series to an all-new level, with fast-paced action gameplay, and going where the franchise has never been before; into the mind of the Postal Dude himself. It’s certainly different from the other Postal games, released by developers Hyperstrange and

The Quarry (PC) – Review

The year was 1992. We had just purchased a new, powerful PC for the household. It was a 486DX2-66 with 8mb RAM, 540mb Hard Drive, and a dual-speed CD-ROM. It was on this PC that I got my first taste of an interactive FMV (Full Motion Video) game. The game

Ready Or Not (Early Access) – Review

SWAT-style games have always been a favorite within the FPS gaming community. Ever since SWAT 4, gamers and fans of the Hardcore gameplay that SWAT4 offered have been begging and waiting for a worthy game to knock the current champ off its pedestal. Ready or Not is a tactical FPS

Kao The Kangaroo – Review

I think somewhere in our storied gaming history, every one of us grew up with a favorite gaming mascot. Some stand-outs would have to be Crash Bandicoot, Sonic, Spyro, or Banjo Kazooie, while lesser, yet still formidable known heroes such as Gex or Croc, made a short but sweet appearance

The Quarry (Hands-On) – Preview

In a time when explosive multiplayer games are all the hype, the story-driven games are taking a bit of a back seat. That’s not to say they don’t exist, but more often than not, the single-player is more of a bonus feature and quite often lacks a compelling story. Lately

Sniper Elite 5 – Review

Sniper Elite 5 is the latest installment from the team over at Rebellion. Set in Nazi-occupied France and taking place just before the events of D-Day, you once again play as Karl Fairburne, where he finds himself sneaking past the Atlantic Wall to rendezvous with the French Resistance.

Sonority – Review

In today’s modern gaming world, certain genres of games seemingly have a popularity rotation and consistently pop in and out of mainstream attention. Oftentimes, we find first-person shooters to bombard our social media feeds and recommended videos. Sometimes it’s horror games that leave on-screen players and reviews leaping out of

Saints Row (Hands-Off) – Preview

We thought we’d seen the last of the 3rd Street Saints back in 2013, back when they had gained so much popularity that the boss had become the President of the United States, only to see the world destroyed by the alien Zin Empire. In a Matrix-like turn of events,

Wildcat Gun Machine is the hell bullet dungeon game you never knew you needed. Featuring high-intensity arenas, boss battles, and music, shooting down abominations with over 40 weapons and special mech powers has never been so insane.
