    The writing is by far the most impressive thing about the game, but leaves you wondering what might have been. The deep character progression system leaves enough of an rpg aftertaste that you find yourself wishing you could explore Mars a bit more, talk to more NPCs and explore more options in those dialogues.

    Graphics and ending aside Heroes of the Revolution a good game and one of the best turn based strategy games that you’ll find on iOS devices. For less than two pounds you’re getting a 4 – 6 hour campaign that once done can be played again due to the random mini missions.

    Graphics aside Colin McRae Rally keeps the “realistic” handling of its day.

    I can’t find much wrong with Toast Time due to the sheer simplicity. All that I can say to do Toast Time justice is buy it on mobile then you will have a good little one thumb game to whittle away dull traveling, and it is half the price of the Steam version.

    The game could be so much more with a little extra work though. The combat and poor voice acting are just too much for me to seriously recommend the game.

    I can’t say I warmed to the soundtrack, but I confess it’s cheery enough, and I can’t really identify anything offensively bad about Aritana. I think the dev team could make something really great in the future, but for the moment I could only recommended this game to a very patient platformer fan. And it would have to be on sale.

    If you’re hungry for Walking Dead, and moreish pinball games, this is a no-brainer.

    On PS4, this is the same great, addictive title that left me nostalgic for the skateboarding version of the nineties I never really knew: it’s just that OlliOlli’s mobile heritage begins to become apparent when played on a home console that it was probably never intended to grind, flip or spin its way on to.

    I loved Commando Jack. I don’t think I can recommend it enough. Sure it has some rough edges and it won’t appeal to everyone. But I think it will appeal to the masses thanks to the amount of fun that is to be had.

    Yet in the light of some truly sickening behaviour by so-called ‘gamers’, a title that looks to humanise the affected should be applauded.

    Believe me when I say you will sink days into this game. I got so wrapped up in playing it that I forgot to write the review and if that doesn’t say much for it’s wonderful mix of minecraft style building and RPG then I don’t know how to convince you.

    The music fits in perfectly as well. It has a great synth sound straight out of the 80’s, and nothing else would have done this game justice.

    My issue with My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant isn’t its not-quite-great writing or anything about its content at all, really. My issue here is that My Ex-Boyfriend is a point and click adventure game that’s fairly poor in its execution.

    Silly story aside Q.U.B.E Director’s Cut is very good game. Most first person games fall apart when the have platforming sections, but Toxic Games managed to pulled off a whole game with first person platforming.

    Despite my personally not enjoying this game there were only two things that really bothered me about it. They both tie in very nicely together though so this should be quick.

    If you have a hankering for a city builder, or a nice relaxing overworld sim, I would recommend staying well away from Transport Giant. It doesn’t want you to play it, it doesn’t want you to understand it and it really doesn’t want you to love it. You might find that spark within it, but you’ll have to work harder than it deserves.

    I didn’t find the main (virtually only) character endearing, and that took a lot out of my experience with BBA. It shows glimmers of something incredible. I’d be very interested to see future title’s from the developer.

    A.R.E.S. is a game with crisp graphics and an awesome soundtrack that makes for a great title to pick up if you’re just after something a little more casual but with enough of that arcade difficulty to keep you on your toes.

    Graphically speaking, the game looks poor on 360. Even for a last generation game it looks like it would sit better on the PS2 during most stages.

    Unlike some of the recent expansions to Crusader Kings II (Charlemagne/Rajas of India), the Art of War doesn’t add a huge amount of content to the game in terms of replayablity.

    It’s certainly one of the smaller DLCs that’s been released for Crusader Kings II, a game that still stands strong despite being three years old. However, if you like to focus more on the roleplaying side of the game then the Way of Life expansion will add a lot of fun to your game.

    It is a great game that makes its simplicity work for it. It doesn’t try too hard to do anything spectacular, but I can only respect that. The gameplay is easy enough for new people to pick up and play and it is strangely gratifying to watch your horde galavant through enemy land with ease.
