Whilst games based on what is called “worker placement” are fairly common, “worker retrieval” games are much harder to come by. The subject of this review; Stone Age, dates back to 2008 and is probably the earliest example of a worker retrieval game that I can find. Essentially this is a game in which players […]

Moving on from their previous game, Punch Club which was an enjoyable (for a while, until you ground your teeth into dust) 16-bit styled stat-balancing grind-a-thon set in the world of prize-fighting, Lazy Bear Games have come up with a new game that takes a lot of inspiration from Stardew Valley but adds enough of […]
Welcome to the 205 Live review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots of cruiserweight action to get to before Summerslam arrives this Sunday.

Match #1: Matanza Cueto beat Saltador Matanza got another sacrifice in Saltador here. The idea is Matanza kills who-ever he beats, so Saltador is now dead. […]

What year is this? Because I’m currently sat here playing a side-scrolling 16-bit style beat ‘em-up featuring the legendary Italian filmmaking duo of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill… Are we sure this is 2018? It certainly doesn’t feel like it playing Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps And Beans. For those unaware Bud Spencer and […]

When I think about nuclear war (or at least the threat of it) in board games, the first examples that spring to mind are usually related to The Cold War, including Twilight Struggle and the like. Coming in to Minion Games’ The Manhattan Project 2: Minutes to Midnight and having never played the original, I […]
Welcome to this week’s Ring of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this review is late, so if you keep your big mouth shut then I won’t get into trouble. I mean it! Be cool! Do screw with me! Match #1: The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Beer City Bruiser […]

Originally conceived as a VR experience on the PS4 and now ported to the Nintendo Switch, Megaton Rainfall is an amazing showcase for the developer’s clear talents but I did come away from the game feeling more impressed than sated. Quite a unique experience, Megaton Rainfall is a purely airborne 360° arcade shooter with some […]

Written by Andrew Cartmel | Art by Lee Sullivan | Published by Titan Comics Several story arcs in, and I finally bit the bullet and started to read the Rivers of London novels alongside the comics. Though, funnily enough, I actually like the comics more (at this stage of course, several more books to go […]
It feels like Okami hasn’t been so much released as gradually rolled out since its launch on PlayStation 2 in 2006. The Wii version followed a few months later; then the HD update came to last-gen consoles and PC; current-gen consoles last year; and now it has finally made its way to Nintendo Switch. The […]
