Console Reviews
Uncharted may not have the most original plot, but the lead characters are likeable and the locations exotic. While you will spend more time exercising your trigger finger than exploring, the game has plenty of action and a ton of a extras. While it could have been a bit longer the treasure hunting will keep you coming back for more.
Gameplay: Great but maybe too much emphasis on gunfights.
Graphics: Detailed and vibrant.
Sound: Good voice acting and atmospheric music

There has been plenty of games set in alternative WW2 realities, but Ironkraft might just be one of the strangest. With Zomies, Nazis and even aliens thrown in for good measure its post-apocalyptic vehicle driven universe certainly sounds like it won’t be boring. The game was Greenlit on Steam in less than eight days back in August and is set for an Early Access release on October 21st 2015
PC Game Reviews
Post Apocalyptic Mayhem is pretty bare bones when compared to other racing titles on the market and it has somewhat of a low-budget feel to it, but provided you can get into a decent multi-player match there is lots of fun to be had. The free DLC released for the game has also since been integrated with the base game.
Gameplay: Despite the floaty controls and lack of variety there is still fun to be had.
Graphics: Nothing spectacular, but the visuals aren’t too shabby.
Sound: Pretty generic
PC Game Reviews
With only eight levels it doesn’t take very long to complete Gryphon Knight Epic, but the game is certainly enjoyable while it lasts. It doesn’t have the speed or overwhelming odds of a bullet hell shooter, but the slower pace still provides a challenge. Add to that the beautiful pixel art visuals and you have a game that all retro fans will enjoy.
Gameplay: The pace is a bit slower than modern side scrolling shooters, but still challenging and enjoyable.
Graphics: Beautiful pixel art visuals with detailed backgrounds and tons of enemy variety.
Sound: Not bad, but not exactly memorable either

Combining quick time events with nothing more than full motion videos sound like a recipe for disaster and yet Press X Not To Die is way more fun than it has any right to be. Designed to be a throwback to the “interactive movie” titles of the early 90s, the game throws you headfirst into what seems to be a zombie apocalypse. The whole town is in chaos, people are viciously attacking each other and the only advice you got from a friend before he is murdered is to “press X not to die.”
Console Reviews
As far as launch titles go Kameo is quite impressive, but if you were expecting something radically new and different be prepared for disappointment. There are some good ideas packed in the game, but the sloppy controls and repetitive gameplay soon show through the pretty visuals. It’s not a complete disaster, but falls short of what it could have been.
Gameplay: The controls let it down a lot, but if you are a platform fan there’s fun to be had.
Graphics: Very good, but the quality is a bit uneven.
Sound: Epic soundtrack, but the usual mediocre voice acting
PC Game Reviews
Nerdook once again impresses with a title that delivers turn-based strategy in an engaging, humorous and very accessible manner. The visuals are charming, the gameplay addictive and although short, there are enough reasons to replay the game a couple of times. Anyone looking for a turn-based strategy title that can be enjoyed without a degree in military tactics should definitely add Reverse Crawl to their library.
Gameplay: Easy to play, but with enough depth to keep it interesting right to the end.
Graphics: Features the typical charming Nerdook visual style.
Sound: No voice acting, but the music is pleasant enough

Don’t let the cartoon style visuals fool you, Dusty Revenge is a brutal and violent game. It is also a very playable game with satisfying combat where you can pull off plenty of combo attacks. The game feels all lot like classic side scrolling beat ’em ups like TMNT and Streets of Rage. The co-op mode also adds to the fun, although sadly it is local only.
Gameplay: Traditional side scrolling beat ’em up.
Graphics: Beautiful backgrounds and unique character designs.
Sound: Fitting music and solid sound effects
PSone Game Reviews
While not very polished or original Demolition Racer is definitely fun and the great two-player mode should keep you occupied for quite a while.
Gameplay: Pure, mindless entertainment.
Graphics: Let down by some nasty pop-up and clipping issues.
Sound: A nice selection of tracks on offer
