Kattish does something that’s notably odd. It doesn’t actually reveal what kind of game it is until after you get 1000G. It’s entirely possible for achievement hunters to get their 100% Gamerscore and depart Kattish without realising what kind of game it is.  For the first ten levels, Kattish is an extremely generic platformer. You

Having the opportunity to review the original GoldenEye 007 game is not one that I ever expected to have in my life. A game that for me, like so many, played a huge part in my video game education growing up. How do you even make a start on reviewing such a significant and culturally

I live in London and that means I am well used to seeing some very bold fashion choices popping up in my neighbourhood. Only last week I saw a man dressed in a mash-up of a Mary Poppins outfit and that of a peacock, before proceeding to be sick in a bin.  Now, in the

Whilst it is Forza Horizon and Gran Turismo which hogs the headlines – depending on your format of choice – there’s much love across the racing fraternity for The Crew, Ubisoft’s open-world racing franchise. It’s that which will be used as the spine for what is to come as The Crew Motorfest is announced.  Following

It’s like the office is talking in a different language. There is a lot of excitement around Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (Console, Cloud) arriving on Game Pass today, but we can’t make head nor tail of their discussions about controller support, William Wallace and resource indicators. Luckily, there’s more than enough other stuff

Today marked the second annual broadcast of The Spawnies, an award show presented by the award-winning gaming podcast Spawn On Me. The Spawnies is dedicated to providing a spotlight for underrepresented voices in gaming.

CyberHive is a weird game to try and review.  It’s a game that comes from Blazing Planet Studios, published by Samustai LTD, and pretty much does exactly as it says on the tin – you take control of a spaceship that acts as a hive for a bunch of bees. In this intergalactic beehive, you

The popularity of run-based games seems to be as strong as ever, and a fair few have come my way recently. I always struggle to remember the technical term to describe them, but after some double checking I’m pretty confident that Shoulders of Giants falls into the roguelite category.

What’s the chance we would receive two cat-based sokoban (box-pushing) games to review in the space of a month? Pretty likely, apparently, as we have the pleasure of giving a verdict on both Sokocat – Combo and Sissa’s Path in quick succession.

Just for a change, there is another retro-styled platformer coming down the tracks. I know, there seem to have been hardly any in the last month or so, but this one looks a little bit different.

Ah, now this is more like it. Arriving in a clutch of three Psikyo remasters from City Connection, Dragon Blaze is the least ambitious of the bunch by quite a way. It does precious little that other Psikyo shooters haven’t done before, and – if you have any shoot ’em-up experience – it doesn’t deviate
