Control Title

Control Review: Creepy Corporate Chaos

August 29, 2019 Conor 1

Control might not represent the most average day for Jesse Faden. Finding the secretive government organisation that took your brother all those years ago could be cause for celebration. Finding a dead man, picking up his weird gun and finding that you’re now the paranormally appointed Director of that same organisation could be a point of concern. And that’s before you find out about all of those horrifying mind warping horrors they’ve been studying for decades now.  So a rough day then. 

Spider-Man Title Card

Spider-Man Review: A Spectacular Superhero Story

September 10, 2018 Conor 0

Spider-Man is the best superhero game that exists right now. It earns this title for so many reasons. Not just the superbly realised world of New York. Not just the simple yet challenging character action combat. Not even the intuitive webswinging that anchors the whole game. Spider-Man is the best superhero game because it understands the genre better than any so far. It is a game about being a hero, and doing good.

E3 EA Conference 2018: Underwhelming and Safe

June 9, 2018 Conor 0

The E3 EA Conference 2018 was very much muted this year. Not a whole lot of things we haven’t seen. The whole delivery here appeared to be based around making as little fuss or promise as possible, while still trying to show off the newest games  

Before the Storm Recommends

Geek Errant Recommends: Life is Strange Before the Storm

February 3, 2018 Conor 0

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a fascinating adventure game that navigates themes of Grief, Teenage Friendship and finding your place in a changing world, all with the signature charm and attitude that’s come to be known of Life is Strange.

Shadow of War Title

Shadow Of War Review : Denser than the Silmarillion

November 12, 2017 Conor 0

 Shadow of War is a game that demands the player’s attention. It is brash and loud, hurrying the player along a path of constant engagement  Not a moment goes by without a prompt or an icon or a mission or an encounter with enemies. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I’ve had a great deal of fun playing, but it is utterly exhausting.

Tokyo 42 Title

Tokyo 42 Review: Hyper Stylised Hitman

May 31, 2017 Conor 0

Tokyo 42 is a stunningly realised depiction of a neon Pan-Asian future city. It’s also a great indie game built around clever camera controls and some really good shooting gameplay. Plus an excellently flappy coat.

Thomas Was Alone Up and to the Right

Geek Errant Recommends: Thomas Was Alone

May 29, 2017 Conor 0

Thomas was Alone is a short, indie puzzle platforming game created by Mike Bithell as a browser game in 2010, and then again on PC/OSX in 2012. Since then it’s been ported to almost every system available. So why are people so willing to buy and rebuy this game after so many years? And Why do we recommend it?
