One of the reasons I was most looking forward to playing The Mysterious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was because it is a genre of game I have never really played. Although I have my favourite genres I’m not the type of gamer that will just stick to a few. Platformers, racers, sports, […]
It’s hard to pin point where it came from but I have a strange obsession with monster trucks… I often put it down to watching weird late-night monster truck racing shows on Yorkshire TV as a kid; or maybe its because I grew up in the era of Bigfoot – the king of the monster […]
In DIGITAL SHORTS we review some of the latest video games that are only available digitally (at least in the UK), in a short-form review format. In this edition we take a look at twin-stick slasher (NOT shooter), Breakpoint. Breakpoint is a twin-stick slasher that provides all the hectic action of a bullet hell with […]
As soon as you mention futuristic racer and video games a couple of franchises come straight to mind to many players. For some it will be Wipeout, which started out on Playstation but for those Nintendo lovers like myself, their minds will go straight to F-Zero. A franchise that hasn’t had a new game in […]

It’s been almost 45 years since Space Invaders hit arcades (2018 was the official 40th Anniversary of the first game) and sincve then the series has appeared on pretty much every home computer and console since then – in various forms, from the original format to todays review, Space Invaders Forever. But why two games? […]
Around two decades ago I took the plunge and bought a Neo Geo Pocket – I couldn’t afford the Neo Geo itself so I saw the Pocket (and the Pocket Colour) as the next best thing. Of course the consoles were light years apart graphically but that didn’t stop SNK bringing some of their biggest […]
Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues is yet another side-scrolling brawler now available on the Nintendo Switch – which has, in recent years, become something of a home for such games, be they 8-bit retro titles like Fight N Rage or updated franchises like Streets of Rage 4. As such it’s hard not to […]
I have been an avid gamer for pretty much as long as I can remember. My first console the ZX Spectrum, the loading noises I remember almost as much as the games, and from then on it has almost entirely (the odd Sega Master System and Playstation an exception) been Nintendo. But it’s perhaps apt […]
The Pang series follows the adventures of two brothers on a global quest to save the world from alien invasion and in Pang Adventures: Buster Edition, the latest franchise revival by developer and publisher Dotemu (Windjammers, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, Streets of Rage 4) – finally released (almost 2 years after the digital version) […]
I’m not normally a fan of rogue-likes, dungeon crawlers, or any kind of RPG-esque video games. I equate game like that to spending hours and hours grinding, leveling up, crafting weapons etc., and I just don’t have the patience. But, given that reviewers should be open-minded when it comes to covering different titles that are […]

About Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection: The legendary platforming series rises again, as Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection marks the heroic return of the […]
For years now I’ve been on the search for that perfect biking game… Yes, I know, its a very niche genre to enjoy and it is – currently – dominated by by the likes of the Trials games and the myriad of clones it inspired. However there have been some great, in fact ONE great […]
Now in it’s 2021 iteration, the RavensCourt/Voxler Let’s Sing franchise is now seemingly the only karaoke game left in a market that used to be completely saturated… Thankfully Let’s Sing 2021 is STILL flying the flag for a genre that, only a few years ago was flourishing. So what happened? Well I blame TikTok… I […]
It would seem that a little indie game called Raging Justice, whilst not being the mega-hit I wanted it to be (lets just say I’m a huge fan of that game!) on its release in 2018, has succeeded in at least being the catalyst for the return of the side-scrolling beat ’em-up to current gen […]
I was sooooo looking forward to the latest G.I. Joe video game. I think I was one of the few that actually enjoyed their last console outing, the movie tie-in come sequel The Rise of Cobra, and remember putting in some solid hours on both the PS3 and Wii iterations… And as a Joe fan, […]

Remember the heyday of Micro Machines? Those tiny little diecast cars that kids, at least of my generation, went crazy for… Well if you’re old enough to remember the toys, then you’re surely old enough to remember the video games! Spanning multiple consoles, including (but not limited to) the Sega Megadrive, Commodore Amiga and the […]
