King's Quest (2015) Review
As a child of the 80s, I have very fond memories of Sierra’s adventure titles. I was particularly fond of Space Quest, as its sci-fi theme and tongue-in-cheek humour (which is a staple of these titles) really struck a chord with me. I also enjoyed the early King’s Quest games, but didn’t stick with the franchise after the first few, having moved on to other things. Over the years...[Read More]

Mega Man Legacy Collection Review
All hail the blue bomber. For those of us who grew up in the 80s, Megaman was an important pillar in our gaming experience. Offering tight and punishing gameplay, it set itself apart from the Mario Bros. and Alex Kidd games of the time. The Megaman series was probably my favourite platformer from that era, so it’s only fair to warn you that I and writing this review with no small amount of n...[Read More]

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review
First introduced in Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels, the rich lore of the Witcher series immediately gained my admiration and respect. With a deep, detailed world, fully realised characters, and exceptional story, it provided a lore ripe for video game adaptation. CD Projeckt Red took on this task and not only managed to encompass the lore and “feel” of the books – they made two...[Read More]
Robots & Rockets Review
Every so often, I chance upon a game whose simplistic appearance belies its strategic potential – where simple yet well implemented mechanics make for an experience both enjoyable to play and strategically enticing. Games such as Sushi Go, No Thanks, and Coup, for example, earn themselves a regular spot in my play rotation for this very reason. Well, now I can add Robots & Rockets to thi...[Read More]
