Billed as “a relentless celebration of everything you love about old-school first-person shooters”, Tower of Guns is the kind of FPS experience that old school gamers will instantly recognise.

I didn’t own a Playstation until the release of the smaller form-factor PSOne, which coincided with the launch of the PS2. But that didn’t stop me from voraciously collecting and playing a whole heap of original Playstation […]
