‘Hellmut: The Badass From Hell’ Review (Xbox One)

‘Miles & Kilo’ Review (XBox One)

by Chris Cummings

I always enjoy a good strong colourful platformer. It takes me back to my childhood, playing Wonder Boy and Alex Kidd on my Sega. Those were the days… Miles & Kilo brings that pixelated old-school charm in droves, with a score of classic style video-game music to go along with the platforming adventure fun. Milo […]

by Matthew Smail

No-one (and I mean no-one) is as big a fan of the Tropico series as I am.

Despite this lifelong affection […]
