Review: Reef Route

Alex reviews Reef Route, a quick family friendly fun game from Brain Games set in the deep blue and shark infested ocean. See what she thought about it.

Review: Iron Crypticle

Iron Crypticle isn't a bad game; it works well enough and there is sure to be an audience for it, but Rik is not it.

Review: Mystic Vale

Mystic Vale provides an innovative twist on the deck-building genre with a card-sleeving method, but a lack of player interaction hampers it.

Review: Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas

Rik thinks Patriots Day is not only entertaining, but emotionally charged and highly respectful of the incident that it is based on.

Review: Deep Sea Adventure

This pocket-sized game is a masterpiece of demonstrating how simple mechanics can still make for a great time.

Review: Century: Spice Road

Alex reviews Century: Spice Road, one of her top picks from UK Games Expo. After many playthroughs, it didn't disappoint.

Review: Onitama

Onitama carves an elegant niche out of one of the oldest and most densely occupied design spaces in board games: a two-player perfect information game.

Review: King Frog

Review: Anima: Gate of Memories

Rik played Anima: Gate of Memories an action adventure game birthed from Kickstarter with mixed results.

Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge

Rik's beginning to think creating a franchise around a 50 year old theme park ride was a bad idea.

Review: Race

Diarmuid believes that Race does an admirable job of retelling the story of Jesse Owens but it simply cannot avoid the pitfalls of many other biopics.

Review: Inferno

Diarmuid reviews Inferno, a movie which starts promisingly but quickly becomes a run-of-the-mill thriller.

Review: Manual Samuel

Alex reviews Manual Samuel, a game that made her laugh as much as it made her cry. Play it with friends and watch him suffer

Review: Maximum Car

With six worlds and 100 different cars to unlock, Richard has found his new toilet game: Nicoll Hunt's Maximum Car

Review: Mother Russia Bleeds

Mother Russia Bleeds is a game with things to say about politics and oppression. It is also about punching bikers in the face.

From the season itself to its volume of extras packed onto each disc, Rik thinks this is a must have for fans of the show and newcomers.

Released in 2008 as a mod and again in 2012 with a PC release, Dear Esther comes to consoles with the Landmark Edition.

Review: Legends of Tomorrow Season One – Blu-Ray

Concerned about Legends of Tomorrow, Rik gave the show a shot and was surprised.

Review: God Eater 2: Rage Burst

God Eater 2 is a tough pill to swallow in the beginning but if you can stick it out, it provides hours of Aragami-hunting fun.

Review: Strike Vector EX

If you've ever wanted to take part in dogfights in the Star Wars, then Reuben may have the perfect game for you.
