Turba – The Verdict

Music makes the world go round, or so we’re told.

Singularity – The Verdict

I’ve decided against better judgment that I will make up a word in this review, keep an eye out for it. It’s very much needed as Singularity is quite a “mish-mash” game, but stick with me as it’s also quite wonderful. Raven have done most things right and only a couple of things wrong, keep [...]

Posted on 16 January 2010 by Steve Peacock. Posted in Featured, ReviewComments (3)

I’ve never liked the word ‘gratuitous’. It’s one of those words that is impossible to say in anything other than a Mary Whitehouse tone. It’s one of the elite cadre of words that has a reputation, and ‘gratuitous’ has a reputation for bad. Yet here it is, in full, capitalised glory, amongst the title of [...]

Posted on 11 January 2010 by Tom Senior. Posted in Featured, ReviewComments (8)

Solium Infernum is a new turn based strategy game from Vic Davis of Cryptic Comet, the brain behind the excellent Armageddon Empires. When I say new, I mean it in the sense that, trust me, you haven’t played a strategy game quite like this before. Satan has vanished leaving the throne to Hell empty. It [...]

Zombie Driver – The Verdict

Posted on 04 January 2010 by Tom Senior. Posted in Featured, ReviewComments (2)

First thing’s first: you’re not a Zombie, you’re a driver. There are Zombies though. Millions and millions of them out there on the open roads just waiting to be steamrolled into oblivion. On the outset this could prove to be a nice slice of budget hyperviolence. Zombies? Cars? Zombies being run over by cars? What’s [...]
