Review: Pure Pool

Despite initial issues, Pure Pool does exactly what it says on the tin and has gone on to impress Tim.

Review: MouseCraft

MouseCraft is one of those games that boldly wears its influences on its sleeve and Jon feels that, in some respects, this does the puzzler some favours.

Codemasters' latest GRID promises to be the one-size-fits-all suit of racing games. Is it a game of its word? Jon straps on his best racing goggles to investigate.

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 5 – Cry Wolf

While The Wolf Among Us may not have the emotional punch that Telltale’s other key franchise had in its finale, Cry Wolf manages to end on a satisfying note.

Review: Transformers: Age of Extinction

As with every other entry in this series, Transformers: Age of Extinction adds yet more evidence to the argument that the fun, frenetic action movies of the 90s are no longer within the capabilit...

Review: Blue Estate

Blue Estate offers us a crude, innuendo-laden look at the life of Tony Luciano, while also given us a competent addition to the on-rails shooter genre.

Review: Skydive: Proximity Flight

Skydive: Proximity Flight is a fun, niche title, well worth a look if you want something to fill that SSX-shaped hole in your life.

Review: KickBeat

Zen Studios, the guys and gals behind Zen Pinball and The Punisher: No Mercy, have made their first foray into the new world of rhythm-fighting games with KickBeat.

Review: Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Review: Toast Time

Toast Time's happy facade helps mask a tough, unforgiving, challenging reflex shooter where levels need to be solved.

Review: Lost Planet 3

For fans of the series or those new to it, Lost Planet 3 is your typical 3rd person shooter. However, thanks to some added ideas and characters, it's a (ice) blast.

Review: Cloudberry Kingdom

With a name like Cloudberry Kingdom you could be forgiven for thinking this was a kid's game, full of fairies and princesses.

Review: Gone Home

As an adventure based on the premise of exploring an environment, Gone Home falls a bit short; however, the game's story is remarkably special and is one that people should experience.

Review: Shelter

You'll find love, fear and guilt in this Journey-esque adventure following a family of badgers through a beautiful and deadly wilderness.
