The quality of the content isn’t as good as Far Harbour with it’s character driven story, and Bethesda are still way behind the curve of Obsidian’s relentlessly excellent New Vegas DLC, but just for how unique the place is, you’ll get your money’s worth out of it if you’re a fan of the game already and want something a little different to explore.

If you loved the original and want to go back some scifi horror nostalgia then i highly recommend you get the enhanced version as the changes are aesthetic and don’t take away from the game you loved as a kid.

Solid sound, excellent graphics for what it is, fair writing.

Even with intergalactic, hyper speed travel feeling like rush hour on the highway at times, Rebel Galaxy has plenty to celebrate.

Overall this is a great first episode for the beloved franchise, and I’m sure that fans of the original game will be pleased it has been treated with such care.

I would highly recommend Steredenn to both fans of the genre and newcomers alike. Yes, like any game it isn’t perfect and could be improved on in a number of ways, such as the bosses aesthetics and rewards system. However, it ‘s tight gameplay and addictive nature kept me coming back for more time and time again.

My biggest complaint to the CLANNAD visual novel is just how long it is. Having all the different routes and choices is great but it is also very time-consuming.

The visual style is a little generic but there’s no denying the quality of the character art and the level of detail within the world.

Despite its lack of visual impact, the game still looks nice enough to compliment the rock solid gameplay, where the traditional boss blasting formula feels as good as it ever has.

Overall the game offers something unique and worthwhile despite having its downfalls. The seasons mechanic works well but the puzzles feel mundane and uninspired at times.

At times, it actively goes out of its way to stop you from enjoying yourself with its awful menu system and nefarious mazes. But if you give it a chance, learn its intricate systems and master its labyrinth-like dungeons, there is a very solid and enjoyable old-school dungeon crawler hidden underneath its harsh exterior that is waiting to be savored by those who are willing to give it a chance.

A fun strategy game with a lot of gameplay hours, and a fun and colourful cast of characters. The story isn’t particularly deep, and neither is the gameplay, but the game’s charm still makes it well worth plugging the PS3 back in for.

Heroes of loot is worth giving a go as it manages to capture a perfect blend of dungeon crawling and shooting that feels extremely satisfying.

Flick Golf 3D is a lovely little palate cleanser that helps get me in a chilled Zen-like place, especially after all the time I’ve spent shooting dudes in the face.

It might not have the highest production values, the core gameplay is undeniably repetitive and the world created can’t really compete with the depth and detail of its more illustrious inspiration, but despite these issues, Final Fantasy Explorers remains a resolutely enjoyable interpretation of the genre.

I score this game [70] for bringing back memory’s, being an enjoyable fighting game with hours of online potential, just a shame I couldn’t play as some of the original characters on release.

Grow Up is a great game which has taken what made the first game so enjoyable and has added some fun new abilities and mechanics to make exploration even more enjoyable.

Summon Night 5 is a very enjoyable experience. Even if the story segments can be tedious, I still found myself playing for hours on end. If you have an old PSP, or better yet, a Vita hanging around, you should consider giving Summon Night 5 a try.

If you grew up playing Q*bert, the Rebooted package is both a revitalization of a formula that you already enjoy, as well as a nostalgic trip down a colorful and snake-infested memory lane. For everyone else, however, it doesn’t have the lasting appeal of a contemporary puzzler.

While it is still the silly, buggy experience you’d expect, the addition of challenges and a unique feel to each mode makes this more than just a farmyard destruction derby. For those looking for an escape from all the seriousness of modern games then Goat Simulator is a perfectly good time waster, as long as you don’t take it seriously.

The high price point of Hamster’s Arcade Archive releases remains an issue, but for those looking to experience a very entertaining and extremely obscure piece of gaming history, UPL’s, Nova 2001 is well worth checking out. It will feel instantly familiar to anyone who has played, Geometry Wars, but with its pleasingly old school visuals and brilliantly impromptu boss battles, it still feels like its own beast over 30 years since its original release.

A really fun and challenging experience blended in really well with a little story.

I would say this sits nicely with the better puzzle games on the 3DS Eshop myself and would recommend it to people looking for a unique puzzle experience.

Unravel is beautiful platform that really touches the heart of fans.

E.T. Armies on the one hand should be applauded, not just for being one of the first games to be exported from Iran but for also for presenting us with a perfectly playable first-person shooter. The hammy dialogue, cliched character tropes and general familiar feel of the gameplay is easy to overlook thanks to some impressive run-and-gun action. However for anyone who is a veteran of the genre, some control issues, repetitive game design and a barren wasteland of a multiplayer mode will have you running back to Call of Duty before you’ve even come close to finishing the campaign.

I did enjoy my time playing it – there’s a pleasant satisfaction to building up your factory and slowly perfecting your latest wonder-drug (before giving it a deliberately silly name) but I was always faintly aware there wasn’t too much else to look forward to in the game.

Overall this was a very good modern take on classic games and something that I thoroughly enjoyed having played the physical card games as a youngster.

I did enjoy my time with Magnetic Cage Closed, and some of the physics puzzles did have me pondering for a few seconds, but the greatest feeling I came away with was the desire to play Portal again, which, in its own way, is probably one of the best kind of back-handed compliments I could possibly give.

I want nothing more than to see the formula flourish into something amazing, but Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition is incapable of doing that. Although, I’m not opposed to seeing Vigil Games take another shot at it with a third entry.

As much as I enjoyed the first game, the sequel just packs even more of a punch and is an even better experience for your money. If you’re looking for something challenging to play on the go, or in short bursts, then this is definitely the game for you.

Deathsmiles is a very fun but short game.

An interesting but ultimately flawed experience, one that is pushed forward by the brilliant use of the GamePad, but dragged back by its slightly ropey visuals, wooden characterisation and consistently terrible English dub.

It might not be up to the standards of some of the RTS classics like Starcraft or Age of Empires, but there’s a surprisingly decent, intuitive and challenging game hidden away there.

The visual design and gameplay mechanics are simple, easy to pick up but still offer some challenging moments.

The story, having been laid out so well in the first episode, does start to pick up momentum here, and some of your earlier choices do begin to have an impact, but many of the problems that were apparent in the first episode still remain.

A fun puzzle game that will test your ability to think fast and you are rewarded with a fuzzy feeling of accomplishment.

The game has a simplistic style but still feels playful and vibrant, with a fun narrative giving the gameplay purpose. I would certainly recommend this game if you like a challenge or playing with friends.

It’s far from the best RTS game on the market, and existing Planetary Annihilation players whose enthusiasm has waned are unlikely to find much here to reignite it.

A standard fantasy quest that runs parallel to a just deep enough farming simulator. It takes it’s sweet time to get going, but both elements work in unison to make a reasonable game.

Samurai Warriors 4-II was a fun game to play at first, but it eventually became mind-numbingly repetitive.

Even experience strategists, who may complain over lack of tactical features and innovative gameplay, will appreciate that much of what’s on offer is essentially a homage to some of their favourite space sims.

The simplistic nature is where Reptilian Rebellion charms most, within minutes you are fully immersed within the dynamics.

Kerbal Space Program is not for everyone, but for those who love anything to do with outer space, physics and cute aliens, you would be in your element here.

It is almost as addicting as Smash Bros. It may not be as challenging or have as many characters as Smash Bros. but definitely worth checking out.

Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers PlayStation 4 Edition has some moments of fun gameplay, whether its shooting down an enemy plane of torpedoing a ship. It’s a shame that it’s so hard timing bomb drops and the little impact they often make.

For an avid Sims player like myself, I’d definitely recommend you spend the £14.99 on the Origin Store for this Game Pack – but if you’re into a more vanilla experience with your Sims, maybe give this one a miss until the time comes that you’re ready to venture into the world of owning a restaurant.

The Jetpack does add a boost to the gameplay, and you do feel badass swooping around as Rico, but the overall experience does feel a tad too short – as soon as you begin to get into the game it is over, and this does feel like a real shame.

The technically improved but fundamentally unchanged Classic Mode arguably remains the strongest aspect of this package, but whichever way you choose to tackle the latest entry in Atlus’ much loved, Etrian Odyssey series, the gameplay and decidedly old school dungeon crawling mechanics remain as strong and compelling as ever.

The strategic card selection and management combined with satisfying action makes for an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I enjoyed seeing my character slowly become more powerful as you gain better cards that will help you progress further.

Although the game’s engine could be tweaked to run smoother and maybe it will in the future, a lot of the time the graphics aren’t what make a game. It’s the storyline and how much you are enjoying the experience are the real reason this game will score higher for me.

Sublevel Zero is fantastic, it’s hard enough that you want to keep pushing yourself, although after a while it can get frustrating and a bit repetitive but it’s a game you can keep going back to, it’s cheap and hardly takes up any hard drive space, which is a bonus.

Toto Temple deluxe is extremely simple and easy to jump into.

Breach & Clear: Deadline is a nice change of pace in an otherwise overcrowded genre, bringing a touch of strategy to the mass of zombie survival games out there. Whether it can find a home on console remains to be seen, especially with its lacklustre presentation and performance in an age where anything below 1080p/60fps is frowned upon (to put it politely), but it’s still worth a look.

A nice alternative from an already established monster of the RTS genre Eugen Systems.

With 20 levels, no save points and a punishing time limit, you need to be on your A game if your want any chance of making it to the end.

An addictive, endless platformer with fun aspects. The steep downfall comes when you dig a little deeper to reveal the hollowness. Uninspiring worlds make the main mode become stale all too quick along with the exclusion of online creating a one-dimensional outing.

If you’ve already played through and enjoyed Electronic Super Joy’s main game then the chances are that you probably consider yourself something of a hardcore so-and-so. In that case, I urge you to download and play Hot Sticky Mess as well, since it is essentially just more of the same but even tougher. If you haven’t played either and are quite happy with your relaxing and fun games thank-you-very-much, then I suggest closing this tab and going back to your happy life where you knew nothing of this game or its potentially life-threatening power.

As much as I enjoyed Dementium, it is relatively short (clocking in at around 4-5 hours), only supports a single save file and features no other game modes outside of the difficulty options. Having said that, it was very refreshing to play a solid horror title on the 3DS and I’ll definitely be picking it up for another play through at some point in the future.

I really enjoyed Cobalt, mainly due to the slick gameplay. The game feels hectic, fast-paced and it has some funny moments. The levels and enemies are well thought out and designed, and I really enjoyed playing around with various weapons to destroy enemies. It will take a bit of time getting used to the controls and movement, but once you get it, it feels awesome. I would certainly recommend this game if you like a challenge, that feels rewarding.

The game is compact and fun for the most part but I would have like to have seen a bit more focus on story and better controls. I would certainly recommend this game if you like survival games like Don’t Starve or a game that looks beautiful with an interesting world to explore.

Factotum 90 certainly makes up for with atmosphere, artistic direction and value. The limited exposition and the subdued musical score keeps the tone at soothing levels, creating a pleasant and rewarding experience overall.

Taking an existing boardgame and adapting it for another franchise is difficult, but Nomad Games pulls it off well enough. Talisman: The Horus Heresy is a game best suited to Warhammer 40K fans for sure, but regular gamers wanting a fun boardgame experience on their PC could do a hell of a lot worse than this.

The fact that there’s no story makes the game feel a bit empty at times, but the brilliant controls and interesting environmental design made it feel fun.

Having seen what it is possible to create with these pixels I would have liked more complicated artwork to draw. However, Tappingo 2 is an excellent colouring book puzzle that will having you sticking around for a while.

Controlling your fighter can be awkward, but get next to the opponent and release feel good, glorious beat downs, and a button mashing war. An interesting roster, dual storylines, and great visuals prove this to be worthy of a newcomers time, and a real treat for established fans.

The game is set in an awesome world, that feels well designed, though out and full of interesting characters and narrative structure. This was a nice surprise considering the game is a fairly familiar top-down style shooter.

The gameplay is frantic, fast-paced and unique.

The story is weak, but the gameplay is fun.

While Demon’s Crystals lacks story. It does provide enjoyable gameplay that will surely keep players occupied. With arcade mode, multiplayer mode and survival mode; The player has an enormous amount of game modes to select with the arcade (single player) mode providing hours of fun on its own.

From the moment the wallpaper popped onto my PS4 screen, the manga influence took centre stage. It continued to be that way as I pressed start, with the overall in-game graphics beautifully cell-shaded, mimicking the appearance of an anime.

Family Bowling 3D didn’t immediately bowl me over yet the charm of it’s four main characters, memorable music (that is more often than not fitting) and it’s steep challenge mode made it irresistible.

There is plenty of gameplay here thanks to all the game modes. If you’re not a fan of word games then it’s probably not for you but if you like your games to be a bit more intellectually stimulating then its certainly worth a try.

If you like Videoball, then you will invest plenty of hours in to this quirky Indie title which will no doubt receive cult status from hardened Videoball enthusiasts and with a few tweaks here and there, it could be so much more fun.

The presentation is once again very good, with an interesting cast a lovable characters, a different style of story and new world to visit. The style of the game still has plenty of video game references and the humour is always fitting to the Minecraft franchise.

A game that invokes nostalgia is one that we can all look fondly on, and FreezeMe incorporates some of its own style in, making this game feel like a new adventure. Perhaps too much Mario 64 can be felt in this game, which kind of holds the game back from going in to its own realm of fun, but it does not stop the player from experiencing a joyful adventure.

For a very reasonable asking price, you get a very potent horror game that, ultimately, leans a little too heavily on its jump-scares to carve out a unique personality of its own.

Dinocide is a strong recommendation for fans of nostalgia, platforming and dinosaurs. If the game goes on discount, it is worth the investment. However players will be left questioning whether the couple of hours of content is really worth the price of admission.

Despite the range of game modes, this game is very small. When you look at the bigger picture you’re basically doing the same thing over and over again. Running around and hitting things with the same button, and the same can be said for the challenges. On the other hand, the game is fun when played with friends. It probably wont keep you entertained for a whole night of gaming, but you’ll certainly have some funny moments along the way.

The game certainly has its issues and downfalls but overall it’s a great game that is worth playing and now having the complete remastered version allows you to experience the games in one awesome package. Long time fans will enjoy returning to Spira and it’s a great way for first timers to jump in.

Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 is definitely a thinking man’s game however, so anyone looking for a quick adrenaline fix will be disappointed – yet seeing pro wrestling from the point of view of a businessman is oddly satisfying and I can see fans of wrestling the world over really throwing some serious hours into this one.

Despite the 15 minute time limit, Croixleur Sigma is the kind of game I am likely to come back to time and again. It might not have the depth of its genre stablemates, but then, that’s the point isn’t it.

Quest of Dungeons is an awesome little rogue-like game that was much better than I expected. The game isn’t hugely long..., but it doesn’t need to be.

Though difficulty may be hard to found, the lack of actual repetitious puzzles is astounding, smooth music played throughout and the overall fun gameplay to found makes Dan perfect to jump into for spare moments.

The almost total lack of direction in a game filled with backtracking and extended travel, is ultimately the game’s downfall.

I will admit that Devouring Stars isn’t going to be the most advanced or mechanically deep RTS you would ever play, but simply for what it does it does it incredibly well. The game has an overall high level of polish and I would easily recommend anyone picking it up.

The gameplay will test your patience at times but if you sick with it, it can feel immensely satisfying.

I really enjoyed my time playing Onechanbara Z2: Chaos, probably way more than I should have. This is one of the most over the top games I have played in a long time and because of that it’s highly memorable.

Super Galaxy Squadron EX really shines when the stages come to a close.

If you are looking for a challenge that you do not have to become invested in, this is the game for you.

It’s not without its faults and the difficulty spikes during Story Mode could certainly do with a rethink, but despite these issues, One Piece: Burning Blood delivers a fine recreation of the hugely popular One Piece series while also providing a genuinely enjoyable, if slightly lightweight brawler.

The game is very fast paced, over the top and utterly relentless. The roster of characters is very good, and gives some very interesting gameplay options. The game uses a unique style, with fun gameplay and funny moments. It’s a game that is worth taking a look at, and will challenge you.

If you're willing to immerse yourself in some very dark, uncomfortable places – the hopeless and suffocating thoughts of a lonely man riddled with depression – then this fascinating, bonecrushing portrait of a man on the edge may very well be an experience for you. Be warned – Actual Sunlight is definitely not for the faint of heart.

I liked Sentris. As a person who does have experience in music production and has produced an entire album of music digitally, I was really impressed with what it is for the price. But I would not recommend anyone just looking for another Hacker’s Beat or quadrant to buy this game. This is most certainly not a game. Make no mistake. It’s music production software that a laymen can use to produce mid-level quality beat loops.

This game will show you the kind of player you are, by making you delve in to strategy, showing you whether you are an defensive or offensive player. A good game by Dreadbit, and one I would not be surprised to see more of in the future.

Despite its mild pacing issues and occasional technical glitches, Game of Thrones is a wonderful representation of the gruesome HBO series and captures the harsh, unforgiving nature of the show that continues to shock all of us. It’s reinstated the GOT mottos: ‘there is no such thing as a happy ending’, and, ‘don’t get too attached to characters…because they’ll probably die…horribly’.

Hyperdrive Massacre is a good game to start a nightlong session. It’s a good way to loosen everyone up or play while waiting for everyone else to arrive.

Despite its limitations and the somewhat painful sense of déjà vu that it will inevitably inspire in anyone familiar with Tennis in the Face, Baseball Riot nonetheless remains an entertaining, addictive and incredibly well made experience.

The visuals are understandably rudimentary by today’s standards, but Buta san, with its bright colourful aesthetic and endearing cartoon design, stands as one of the better looking Arcade Archive releases and a welcome re-release for a game that the majority of Western gamers will have never heard of, let alone played.
