Scott Watson reviews Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix… This will be a race to remember! Racers start your engines! From there sadly, Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix is nothing but a hard, frustrating and infuriating lesson in how not to make a racing game. OK, look, this is an indie title. A budget indie title at […]
Video Game Review – Destiny: Rise of Iron
Scott Watson reviews Destiny: Rise of Iron… I know to many that Destiny is very much a marmite game. You either love the grind or you don’t. What I don’t think can ever be argued is the quality of the gunplay the game provides through its environments, enemies and challenges. Rise of Iron may not […]
Video Game Review – RIVE
Scott Watson reviews RIVE… I can’t keep up with this game. My old gaming bones just are not attuned to the maniacally impressive, gleefully and destructively over the top shooting that RIVE thrusts upon me. I was never the best at shooters the likes of Nemesis, Salamander and R-Type in the arcades or the likes […]
Video Game Review – Strike Vector EX
Scott Watson reviews Strike Vector EX… Oh this is glorious… this is war, this is balls to the wall air combat dog-fighting, this is a first person shooter strapped into mech-inspired craft. This is the free-flying combat joy of Strike Vector EX and I love it! For a long time I’ve been crying out for a dog-fighting game […]
Video Game Review – Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival
Scott Watson reviews Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival… Nostalgia – a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one’s life, to one’s home or homeland, or to one’s family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time. When Dino Dini’s Kick Off […]
Report – Play Expo at Braehead Arena Glasgow
Scott Watson reports from the Play Expo at Braehead Arena Glasgow… Replay Events have been running the Play Expo series of gaming festivals across the UK for a number of years now, but this was their first visit to Glasgow with the event. It felt very much like they were finding their feet with it as well on […]
Video Game Review – TurnOn
Scott Watson reviews TurnOn… Have you ever wondered what life would be like without electricity and light? Simple things we take for granted such as me typing this review on a laptop persistently connected to the internet, or my son asking if wifi is available wherever we go, would be completely lost. These are some of […]
Video Game Review – Rocketbirds 2: Evolution
Scott Watson reviews Rocketbirds 2: Evolution… Putzki is dead. Or is he? Hardboiled thought he had nailed the evil megalomaniacal despot at the end of the first Rocketbirds. It seems though that psychotic killer owls from outer space had other plans and look to have brought Putzki back from the dead to once again take over […]
Video Game Review – Planar Conquest
Scott Watson reviews Planar Conquest… Planar Conquest is definitely one for the purists of this genre. I’ll get that one out there right now. This turn-based fantasy strategy apparently let’s you “eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate” it announces from its site. Trouble is, before you’ve even started the game you feel weighed down by the […]
Video Game Review – Wondershot
Scott Watson reviews Wondershot… Wondershot takes me back. It takes me back to Friday nights with my mates, a PlayStation, a multi-tap, some beers and a ton of fun. The fact that it draws to mind these nights of local co-op fun brings a smile to my face. It plays on my nostalgia. It reminds […]
