Visit Hawaii for infinite possibilities in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

After all the double-crossing, back-stabbing, plot-twisting that goes on in the world of Like a Dragon, isn’t it any wonder that they fancy a vacation? And what better place than the sunny and relaxed vibes of Honolulu in Hawaii. Only joking, this is no time for a holiday!

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Review

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has some series best moments in it, both highs and (very) lows. But stop the count: the 2024 GOTY is out in January.

The actual fighting is the best it’s been in Tekken; the cinematic moments are a real plus point as you get a brief second to appreciate how good this game looks.

Howl Review

Howl doesn’t really bring anything to the table that we haven’t seen hundreds of times before - but it is gorgeous.

Exploring the real-life Kamurocho from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon Series

I was fortunate to recently be on a business trip to Taiwan. I went ahead and booked an extension to visit Tokyo and the real-life Kabukichō, the location that Kamurocho and many of the early games are based on. Even going as far as booking a hotel right in the centre of the red-light district.

Save your human from evil AI in Kitten Hero

In a world where AI is a major talking point simply due to the unknown potential, a hero may need to rise up. Could that be a Terminator, re-programmed from the very AI that created it, Neo, Trinity and Morpheus or a cute little kitten? My money wouldn’t exactly be on the kitten first, but I am happy to see how it pans out. Find out if the kitten can be the hero we need in the aptly titled Kitten Hero, out today on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Blend into the shadows in Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow

When thinking about a stealth game, you tend to focus on dark corridors, with only limited light for company. But this next game presents a world full of colour but also one that you invited to stealthily navigate. But despite this positive looking environment, there is still a world to be saved. Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow is out today on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

Choo-Choo Charles Review

Despite all the pre-release excitement for a train/spider mashup, Choo-Choo Charles is a pretty mundane game.

Bring the whole family together in Party Friends

Picture the scene: Christmas dinner eaten, presents opened, now what? Just Dance seems like a bad idea on a full stomach, and everyone remembers what dad did last year playing Monopoly. The family needs another game to enjoy over the festive period. Can we suggest Party Friends, which is out today on Xbox?

Dark Matter Arcade Fighting Stick Review

The Dark Matter Arcade Fighting Stick - a massive disappointment.

Remnant II: The Awakened King Review

Any excuse to return to Remnant II is a good excuse. And even though The Awakened King does commit a few of the same issues as the first game, it is a solid addition to an already excellent experience.
