Review: Otoko Cross: Pretty Boys Klondike Solitaire (PC)

July 15, 2022

Following on from the release of Otoko Cross: Pretty Boys Mahjong Solitaire in May, I’m not going to have too much additional to say about this Klondike Solitaire take on basically the same concept. It’s a game about enormously pretty boys that dress up in girly clothing and then, as…

Review: Zero Tolerance Collection Review (Nintendo Switch)

July 14, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Retro/Reviews

There are a few genres that simply don’t age well. A good JRPG is timeless, as are platformers, brawlers, fighting games and SHMUPs or side-scrolling shooters. Sports games and FPSers, however, don’t. With FPSers, if you strip the nostalgia out of even the mighty Doom or Duke Nukem, I would…

Wales Interactive announces new interactive film, Mia and the Dragon Princess

July 14, 2022

News/Wales Interactive

Wales Interactive is easily one of the greater FMV game publishing companies right now; very little is released that I don’t want to get my hands on as soon as humanly possible. Once I do, I play them. Repeatedly. Generally, at least five times, then however many times it takes…

Chorus/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

What’s the result of combining cryptids, retro graphics, and pulp fiction? Why, Mothmen 1966 of course! It is the first title in what is already being called the Pixel Pulp series, by LCB Game Studio. I feel a bit bad for those I’m close with, as I’ve been rambling about…

Nintendo Switch/Reviews/simulation

Take Game Of Thrones. Take Princess Maker. Mash them together (after taking the sex out of both), turn the result into a spreadsheet simulation, and you’ve got Long Live The Queen. This ultra indie game is not without its delights and offers players a decent challenge on their way to…

On the collision of the futuristic and the medieval: Fabular Q & A

July 12, 2022

Indie/Interview/Interviews

It’s not a combination that you would necessarily expect to see, but once you see it in action, it all makes sense. It’s eclectic, but very creative. Fabular: Once Upon A Spacetime combines science fiction spacecraft and battles… with the medieval in terms of the weapons you’re using. It’s the…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/keyboard/SteelSeries

As I wrote in my last review of a SteelSeries keyboard, given the nature of my career, having a good keyboard is essential to what I do as a health and safety matter. However, as I am also a very mobile worker, and like to hike my laptop down to…
