The gaming world isn't short of Zombie games. From arcade zombie shooters like the House of The Dead series, through to Valve's successful multiplayer co-op oriented Left 4 Dead games up to the recent adventure game The Walking Dead based on the comics TV series of the same name. There's something for everyone. Well, not quite everyone. Bohemia Interactive's Dean Hall (AKA Rocket) wanted a proper zombie apocalypse simulator. So he wrote one.

Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Treasure Review - Nintendo 3DS
It's safe to say that the 3DS is fast becoming the home of the Rhythm Action genre, conventional or otherwise. Following hot on the heels of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai comes the latest release – Sega's Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Treasure. Does it have what it takes to stand out from the crowd or have we had our fill of music-based 3DS games?
First impressions for those looking for something different are good as there is a story ... -

Code of Princess Review - Nintendo 3DS
When the first Code of Princess screenshots started trickling in, it was hard to deny that the game bore more than a passing resemblance to Treasure's Guardian Heroes. The revelation that key members of that Sega Saturn classic's development staff worked on this title (Han and Masaki Ukyo for those curious) brought with it a genuine sense of excitement and the prospect of something of a modern reimagining of a cult classic. Does Code of Princess live up to that hype or would the Guardian Heroes... -

Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai Review - Nintendo 3DS
Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai is a bit of a mouthful, but is quite straightforward really – it is the latest rhythm action game featuring Vocaloid icon Hatsune Miku to hit portable systems after three Project Diva entries on the PSP. Does the move to new hardware add more than another dimension, or is this simply more of the same?
For those who are familiar with the PSP's Project Diva series, the core of those games still exists in Project Mirai – a varied so... -

Sumioni: Demon Arts Review - PlayStation Vita
For those that know about the classic 'sumi-e' ink art style (the one recently popularised by Street Fighter IV) the title of XSeed Games' first foray on the PlayStation Vita will raise a wry smile. Literally translated as Ink Demon (Oni meaning demon) the title sums up what you will spend your time doing in Sumioni perfectly. On the verge of a US digital only release, Bordersdown have plunged into the Japanese retail version to let you know if this is a pot worth dipping your nib into. ... -

Escape Plan Review - PlayStation Vita
Escape Plan had the hefty advantage of being part of the European Vita pre-order incentive mission for Sony. It also comes from a studio with a proven pedigree in the download only market. Hitting the Vita launch with a relatively unique style, is it worth your time and money?
The various online marketplaces have been an amazing source of creativity and risk taking, away from the safety of the run and gun third person greyscales of more recent 'full' releases. This attitude is... -

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Review - Nintendo 3DS
In this review of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy we look at the latest in a series of oddly named Square Enix games, continuing on from the likes of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream, Drop, Distance and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. At least the title provides a clue to what can be expected: a Final Fantasy themed rhythm action game. There has been no shortage of quality examples of the genre released on portable systems in Japan of late, so how does this one, with its heavyweight source material, fare? ... -

Monster Hunter 3G Review - Nintendo 3DS
Monster Hunter Tri was a bit of a dare on Capcom's part. The Wii had been seen as a children's toy; something for "casual gamers"; or somewhere to store part of their dust collection. It turned out to be a great game, the Japanese release only being a bit of a let down due to the chargeable nature of the online play. The English language release made up for this by being free, but lacked the fanbase that the series had already amassed in Japan. It took over 2 years for MH to debut on the Wii with... -

Resident Evil Revelations Review - Nintendo 3DS
Resident Evil Revelations is a lot of things to a lot of people. It is a fully fledged stand alone Resident Evil title, albeit with a story that stands apart from the numbered entries in the main series. It is the the second exclusive Resident Evil title for the 3DS. It is a mature game for a platform that has a traditionally young audience. Measured against these goals it succeeds on every front. Most importantly though, it is supposed to be a game that harks back to the series roots as a survival... -

Tales of the Abyss - Nintendo 3DS
Future parents, when thinking of a name for your freshly born baby boy, please oh PLEASE don't call him Luke. It happened in Star Wars and it happens in Tales of the Abyss (~TotA). Luke (a.k.a. the main character in both stories) only comes across as the whiniest little bag of patheticness in existence, and both get the massive boot up their behind that they need to change at very different costs. In Tales of the Abyss, Luke fon Fabre, whose initial back story is basically along the lines of "was...

Shoot'em'ups come in all sorts of graphical flavours: fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, modern day, wartime, or even the sexy kind, like Cosmo Dreamer and Like Dreamer, together known as the Double-D Collection.
Or at least that's what the title and cover would make you think. Publisher Eastasiasoft created a suggestive aura around these games, probably to get more attention than they otherwise would have had, but you cannot judge a game from its cover: yes, there are a couple of gravity-defying...-

The Switch's hybrid nature and the number of shoot'em'ups available on it created some interesting peripherals like Fangamer's FlipGrip, a plastic cradle to hold Switch's main body vertical with the Joycons attached to the sides; the FlipGrip kept Switch portable but is not compatible with the console's Lite or OLED iterations, and there are no signs of an updated version being studied. Enter Todd Gill, 3D printer extraordinaire. Under the name Retro Frog he designs, prints, and sells (and more o...

Excerpt from the diary of Briareos Kerensky, newly appointed angler of the Oceanography Institute.
Day 1. I don't usually write diaries, but I've decided to see for how long I can keep this up...not to mention this new job, I don't particularly care about fishing in any kind of incarnation, but there are no fixed hours or minimum time requirements. Got to meet my partners for this job today and they explained my tasks. We've got a supervisor from the institute, the ship's captain, an...-

Gal Gun is a light gun style game developed by Inti Creates which originally debuted on the Xbox360 in January 2011, with a PS3 version following one year after. Both titles remained the only ones available only in Japan till now. For the series’ 10th anniversary, Inti Creates, also celebrating their 25th anniversary, produced Gal Gun Returns, a remake featuring updated graphics and new game mode. This is a review of Gal Gun Returns.
All Gal Guns start with you, the main charac...-

Rocket Punch were a small Chinese developer with no games under their belt when they launched the Kickstarter for the then-named Code: HARDCORE. Details were scarce, but the kickass art, and the promise of sidescrolling fast-paced giant robot action was enough to draw backers in, including myself. While still under development the game garnered several awards wherever it was shown, and after a change of title due to Japanese copyright laws, delays typical of Kickstarter projects, and Arc...

The first Blaster Master landed in 1988 on the NES. It gave control over a nimble tank in sidescrolling stages and the tank's pilot in overhead stages, providing players with two distinct playstyles that mixed of exploration, platforming, and enemy killing, something that would be described as Metroidvania today. Blaster Master proved popular enough to receive multiple sequels, the last being re-imagining of the first game on the Wii in 2010. Fast forward to 2017 and Inti Creates released Blast...
