One of the upcoming games that we were anticipating a great deal was Techland’s Hellraid. A first person co-operative slash-em-up set in a gothic horror nightmare sounded like a lot of fun to us, especially coming from the team responsible for the creative Dead Island and Dying Light.

Imagine you’re hungry; hungry for retro platforming shooters, but have no retro consoles sitting around. How would you resurrect those past memories of Bionic Commando or Contra; or if you’re of the new young generation, experience for the first time the awesomeness that is Metroid or Castlevania? The answer lies…

2D platformer/3DS Review/Bloo Kid/Bloo Kid 2/Indie/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Retro/Reviews

Bloooooooooooooo. Booooooooooooo. Ahem. Bloo Kid 2 is so bad it made me feel bloo. No, wait, blue! The stupid game is making my IQ bleed out all over the place. Look, there are homages to old games out there, and it’s perfectly reasonable for indie developers to want to make…

The folks over at Coin Bump must be doing some strange things in their office to gain inspiration for their games. Hero Hustle recently launched on iOS, and it’s inexplicably flashy and busy and cool and addictive all at once. Read on as I attempt to explain what may be…

Gradius V was the final Gradius release from Konami, back in 2004, and was originally released on the PlayStation 2. It has now come back as a PS2 Classic and has been made available on the PlayStation Network to a new audience. As I originally said in my Soldner-X 2:…

Highlands/Indie/PC/PC Review/Reviews/RPG/Strategy

Highlands is a turn-based strategy game by Burrito Studio, another one of those micro indie development teams. And, as the team’s first game, its a good one, with plenty to offer fans of the RPG and strategy genres. Highlands’ setting is reasonably unique, taking place on a series of floating…

Divoom’s range of Bluetooth speakers just keeps getting better. Back in 2013, we took a look at the Onbeat-200, a chunky, brick-like affair with reasonable sound quality. Next, there was the Voombox Travel, a chunky, grenade-shaped device which performed rather well. Today, it’s the turn of the Airbeat-10. This one…

We had thought that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX would be released this month – we even announced it in our list of monthly releases, because that had been the original expected release date. Sadly, the production line seems to have encountered some difficulties over at SEGA HQ, and the…
