Lobotomy Board Game Review – Lobotomized Rulebook
Lobotomy is not a small game by any means, dominating the table its placed upon after its lengthy and somewhat tiring setup process. Nor is it an easy game to enjoy at times. It’s fiddly with a myriad of individually simple rules that as a whole can be difficult to remember and constantly send you…

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Review – An RPG Masterclass
Divinity: Original Sin was something of a surprise hit, the RPG managing to once again prove triple A developers wrong by crafting a game on a budget that went on to sell extremely well. It just goes to show that if you don’t try to please everyone, gear your product toward a certain market and…

Catch the Moon Review – We Will Steal…THE MOON!
Catch the Moon does not waste time with its theme; you build a ponderous tower of ladders in order to catch the moon. It’s a simple, lofty goal, a hint of story in an abstract game you can learn in a minute and then giggle about for many happy hours. Grabbing my attention-span challenged niece,…

Last Day of June Review – Emotional Sucker Punch
Videogames don’t often affect me emotionally outside of making me annoyed or happy because I’m having fun. But The Last Day of June hit me in the feels. There weren’t any tears, yet I did walk away in a contemplative frame of mind. I was invested in the story it wanted to tell, a story…

Two years ago I attended by first MCM Comic-Con event in Glasgow, Scotland, and dutifully wrote down my experience on this very site. So I’m pleased to say that MCM have invited me back, arming my sorry hide with a press pass and giving me free reign to annoy the poor public by taking pictures…

Checking Out Engage Gaming In Aberdeen, A Social Space For Gamers, And Interviewing The People Behind It
Located a block away from Aberdeen’s main street and roughly a ten-minute walk from the train station Engage isn’t quite something you’d stumble across by accident as its slightly tucked away on a back street. That’s a shame because while its boring grey facade might not grab your attention venturing upstairs reveals an open-plan room…

Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock Review – Time To Frack Some Toasters
I’ve talked before about how some games can surprise you before in other reviews. Sure, it’s nice to be confident that a game is going to be good ahead of time and then to have your assumptions justified once you finally play it, but that never manages to capture the same sense of elation as…

JDS Labs 02+ODAC Combo Review – Little Black Box Of Audio Wonder
Oh little black box of witchcraft, how do you work? Despite how much I appreciate amazing audio the mechanics behind it all are akin to black magic in my eyes. All I know is that sound is something that often gets overlooked from a gaming and filmgoing perspective, and spending the money to get something…

The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Chapter 2 Review – Is It Punny?
The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 2 might just have the most amount of puns in a videogame ever. Practically each and every sentence somehow manages to contain a pun relating to a nearby item, a name or anything else the writers manage to think of. It’s wonderful. It’s stupid. It’s annoying. It’s funny. God,…

F1 2017 Review – It’s A Goodyear
The problem with creating a new game every year that’s based on a real sport is that eventually each game starts to feel a bit similar. Without any huge shake-ups in the sport the developers are left to twiddle their thumbs. To their credit, Codemasters have at least attempted to do a few new things,…
