I’m not entirely sure what the point of Pinball M is. It’s Zen Studios quality pinball through-and-through, and yet it is a distinct app and download, rather than a DLC drop onto the existing Pinball FX platform. I can only assume that the goal here was to include content that…

Samba de Amigo is a game of pure joy and high-octane energy (with some acid surely thrown in when it was being developed). It comes across as an even more explosive explosion of colour and humour than Bandai Namco’s excellent Taiko the Drum series. In the party context that this…

Typing isn’t entertaining. I write 100,000 words in a typical week. The idea of playing a game with typing as the central mechanic doesn’t scream “entertaining downtime” to me, on the face of things. Yet actually sitting down to play one of these things is an oddly compelling experience. The…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. TOP NEP is the very first Neptunia game for 2022. Sadly it’s also one of the least, and shows Idea Factory is really struggling to define the personality of this series for the modern audience. On the other hand, it is a fun Space Harrier clone,…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I loved re-learning how to drive with Level 91 Entertainment’s latest title, Inertial Drift. It’s a stylish racing game with twin-stick controls – the left stick steers and the right stick shifts the back wheel for a drift – and the relative unfamiliarity combined with the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Who the hell needs FIFA and PES when you’ve got Captain Tsubasa to play now? Not me. This humble little “arcade football game”, produced by a tiny team at Tamsoft for a fraction of the cost that EA and Konami’s monoliths are made with, is simply…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Dodo Peak isn’t the kind of game that you’ll remember six months down the track. But it is the kind of game that you’ll come across randomly when browsing through your library of games, remember that you actually really enjoyed playing it, and load it up…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Pinball Lockdown isn’t a great game (actually, it’s a terrible pinball experience, even on a budget), but it did get me thinking as I was playing, and asking myself just what do I like about pinball. Obviously the experience of flicking the ball around the playfield…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ll play basically anything pinball. It’s something I’ve grown up with my entire life and to this day I love quality pinball action. The Nintendo Switch is well served there – even if you ignore Zen Studios’ brilliant Pinball FX3, there’s niche stuff like Zaccaria Pinball,…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I do love Zen Studios’ Pinball FX3. It’s been a bit of a busy couple of months, so I’ve had to put my pinballing on the backburner, but being the big fan of bad B-tier horror and science fiction that I am, I couldn’t resist checking…
