• Expedition: The Roleplaying Card Game Review – Roleplaying, But Not The Kinky Kind

    If you’ve ever played a table-top RPG with a talented gamemaster who has spent many laborious hours crafting an adventure for the whole group to enjoy then you’ll know just how absorbing it can be. Who can count the time you spent forging your character? And all those cool moments where you do something awesome,…

  • Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Review – Hack ‘N’ Slash Blast

    Let me preface this review by stating that I didn’t play the first Vermintide game. I had a few chums slicing and dicing the Skaven hordes, but I never found the time to pick up the Left 4 Dead style game set in the Warhammer universe for myself, so this review of the sequel is…

  • Roccat Khan Aimo 7.1 Surround Sound Headset Review – Gunfire From 7.1 Directions

    Review sample provided free of charge by Roccat. The wonderful thing about a fantastic headset is that lovely comforting feel it can provide, the sense that you’re isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, able to ignore all the yelling and shouting and screaming and stabbing and gunshots going on behind you.…

  • TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge Review – Flawed But Brilliant

    The Isle of Man TT is absolutely insane, a relic of a bygone era where racing was raw and dangerous. It’s 37.73 miles of public road weaving through several towns and then up the Snaefell Mountain that gets shut down so that a bunch of lunatics on beautiful motorcycles can scream around the epic track,…

  • Panasonic’s EX750B TV’s Are For The Gamers (Sponsored Post)

    This sponsored post was paid for by Panasonic. You hit the button on your controller and a split second later your on-screen character pulls the trigger, but it’s too late. You’re beaten. All that work, all that effort, only to be defeated because of one thing; input

  • Gravel Review – What’s With Racing Games And One Word Names?

    Milestone have been around for years, quietly pumping out a variety of racing games that have rarely amazed but have clearly found themselves small audiences. Now, though, Milestone are back with another original IP and while it’s unlikely Gravel is going to be competing with the big boys of the genre it’s a surprisingly robust…

  • Kingsburg 2nd Edition Review – Roll Me Some Gold

    Games usually get a second print run if they’ve done something right, so this second edition of Kingsburg seems to indicate that when it first came out people must have quite liked it. Me? Well, I’m still a relative noob, so I never played it when it first came out or in the intervening time…

  • Metal Gear: Survive Review – Surviving The Microtransactions And The Grind

    Although it seems to have been forgotten about Metal Gear: Survive is not actually the first Metal Gear game without the legendary Kojima at the helm. It is, however, the very first Metal Gear game produced since Kojima and Konami parted ways in less than ideal circumstances. The pressure was on Konami to show the…

  • Hotshots Review – My Table Is On Fire

    I’ve had the misfortune to be involved in a few fires in my times, most of them started by me because of reasons, and during all of them I never once considered grabbing a handful of dice and hurling them at the flames to put them out. Not once. And yet here’s Hotshots clearly showing…

  • Noria Review – You Spin Me Right Round, Baby, Right Round

    Noria is a deceptive game, its lovely artwork which features a massive floating mountain hanging high in the sky producing a myriad of thoughts about what its theme could be, but a wheel-building game of politics wasn’t quite what sprung to mind when I first saw it, I have to admit. But that’s what we’ve…
