This new title from Firedrake Games is a rally game with a difference, as opposed to actually racing, your vehicle instead trundles on regardless as you take a backseat from driving, and instead focus on the logistical side of this mammoth task – which is driving across Europe and Africa.
With some lovely pixel visuals, and simple, looping music to keep you company on your trip, Desert Race Adventures begins with choosing your driver and co-driver from the six available and selecting up to three items for your vehicle loadout.
Whilst each driver / co-driver has their own strengths and accompanying weaknesses – perhaps they fatigue slower, or require less nourishment than the other, greedier drivers, but also suffer more in crashes – the balancing act of switching between the stock in your limited carrying space makes up a very important part of your journey.
Rich steps back into the Good Old Days with this brand‑new PC gameplay video! Join me as I explore retro‑inspired adventures based loosely on the Goonies. This metroidvania is packed with nostalgia, classic metroidvania mechanics, and modern PC polish. Whether you grew up with pixel art and cool VHS movies like Goonies or you’re discovering it for the first time, this playthrough captures the charm of gaming’s golden era.
Retro gaming fans, prepare yourselves—because PLAION REPLAI, in partnership with Retro Games Limited, has just unveiled something truly special.

After playing a wide variety of games in 2025, I can confidently say that "My Time at Sandrock" stands out as my top gaming experience of the year.
Having previously enjoyed "My Time at Portia," my expectations for its spiritual successor were high, but "My Time at Sandrock" managed to surpass them in almost every way.
While it retains the cozy, farming-sim elements that made the first game so charming, Sandrock expands the genre with incredible depth, creativity, and a vibrant desert world that feels both fresh and inviting.
We continue our Trust odyssey with the Trust Mylox Wireless Mobile Gaming Controller, a mobile controller that I received – handily – just before a family holiday. Eschewing the usual Nintendo Switch, I instead decided to holiday away with the Trust Mylox Wireless Mobile Gaming Controller in a bid to really immerse myself in its abilities.
I tried out a few different genres on the system, but the game that I found myself really diving into over that period was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which really ended up highlighting the strengths of the peripheral.
The GXT 735 Mylox Wireless mobile Gaming Controller can be played for up to twelve hours before needing a recharge – which then takes three hours to recharge, but you can use whilst charging – and is very snappy in its approach to everything.
🦖Korean publisher kicks off G-Star 2025 with surprise reveal and trailer showcasing Horizon’s iconic hunting action and advanced combat systems for large-scale, cross-platform play.
Renowned developer and publisher NCSOFT today announced Horizon Steel Frontiers, a global MMORPG set in the acclaimed Horizon universe, during Korea’s premiere game conference, G-Star 2025.
Developed in collaboration with Guerrilla (creators of Horizon and Killzone), a studio under Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), the new title expands the Horizon franchise into the MMORPG genre.
Horizon’s New Frontiers
Set in the lands of the machine hunters known as the Deadlands, Horizon Steel Frontiers builds on the franchise’s signature hunting-action gameplay while introducing advanced MMORPG systems. Players can expect deeply customizable combat, extensive freedom, and large-scale battles designed to deliver a distinct Horizon experience to fans worldwide.
Trailer and Developer Insights
NCSOFT has launched the official Horizon Steel Frontiers brand website, featuring the debut trailer and developer interviews. The trailer showcases mechanical creatures, expansive environments, and massive multiplayer encounters unique to the game.
In a developer interview, Jan-Bart Van Beek, Studio Director and Art Director at Guerrilla, expressed his excitement about collaborating with NCSOFT to bring this new Horizon experience to life. Taekjin Kim, NC CEO & Chief Creative Officer, and Sunggu Lee, NC Executive Producer, also shared their inspiration and hopes for the project in a 10-minute gameplay and commentary video.
What’s Next
Further details about Horizon Steel Frontiers will be revealed gradually through the official website. The game is confirmed as a cross-platform release for mobile and PC, powered by PURPLE, NCSOFT’s proprietary game platform.
I came across an upcoming game release a few weeks ago that caught my eye, a Game Boy Color title named Infinity, originally created by Affinix Software back in 2001, the game was never fully released due to publishing issues at the time.
Incub8 Games then picked up the project during a Kickstarter back in 2021, and now over 20 years on, the game is completed and finally ready for a physical release (a digital version is also available).
It’s always a pleasure to get the opportunity to play games lost to the mists of time, and so this is definitely one for the GBC fans out there to get excited about! In the coming months we will be reviewing the full game, but until then, check out the information below, and get your pre-orders rocking and rolling, should it tickle your fancy.
Rich steps into the retro chaos of Darkenstein 3D! 🎮 This indie FPS blends classic DOOM & Wolfenstein vibes with modern twists, delivering fast-paced action, brutal enemies, and nostalgic level design.
There’s something very special about having a gaming space, a temple of solace in which you can squeeze the controller until it creaks, pore over stats, and laugh with friends. It genuinely has the power to be an oasis from the stresses of reality, and as someone who has a home office, I like my gaming area to feel separate from work so that I can zen out and have that separation from the stresses of the work day.
Cue the GXT 709 Luminus RGB Gaming Desk, a glorious piece of furniture that – quite literally – highlights when it’s time to chill out and game.
Hello to all, it’s time for another catch-up of some titles that may have passed you by over the last few weeks!
Zen Pinball DLC – Elvira’s Scared Stiff, and Elvira and the Party Monsters
It’s always time for some pinball action! In our household, we have been longtime fans of Elvira and so it was fun to get our flippers on with these two new tables, now available as DLC for the incredibly popular Zen Pinball franchise. Available on not only console and PC, but also VR and mobile platforms, Elvira and the Party Monsters is a digital version of the 1989 Midway table, whilst Elvira’s Scared Stiff was released in 1996. Both tables were designed by pinball wizard Dennis Nordman and are available now!
In this gameplay video, Rich dives into Hell Clock, a mind-bending indie horror game where every second counts. Trapped in a twisted time loop, you face terrifying puzzles, eerie environments, and relentless pressure to escape before the clock runs out.

Rich steps into the dreamlike world of Fading Serenades, where reality blurs and mystery unfolds. This gameplay video offers a first look at its haunting atmosphere, immersive puzzles, and emotional storytelling. Perfect for fans of surreal adventures and indie gems.
I don’t usually directly compare games when I discuss them, but I do feel that I have to open this review by saying that you can currently get a physical copy of the infinitely superior Cruis’n Blast on Amazon UK for twelve quid, should you so wish (and you should wish so).
Fast & Furious is a console port of the 2022 arcade title, which was originally developed by Raw Thrills – who were also behind the original arcade version of Cruis’n Blast – and whilst the port to consoles has some brief action, it’s far too insipid to be a recommendation beyond a few minutes of simple fun.
I’m not too au fait with the Fast & Furious franchise, but the links here seem pretty tenuous – there are a few recognisable cars, and each of the six stages (which last around two / three minutes each) set the task of reaching the finish line and thwarting various events such as a missile launching, a bomb being detonated or a plane taking off. You can choose from a handful of supercars, and play with up to two players, but the issues reveal themselves quite quickly as you dive in.
Following on from FIFA 95 [1994] EA served up another set of iterations to the existing tried and tested formula with FIFA 96 on SEGA Mega drive and Genesis that had tweaks to the gameplay based on what worked and didn't work in the extremely successful original game.
As FIFA 96 geared up for release, EA Sports also pushed the boundaries across SEGA’s hardware line-up to include the 3D ambitions of the SEGA Saturn and SEGA 32X and each version was now bringing something unique.
🌀 SEGA Saturn
The Saturn version of FIFA 96 wasn’t just a port—it was a reimagining. Developed by Probe alongside the PlayStation and PC CD-ROM versions, it aimed to redefine football gaming on 32-bit systems.
Key Features:
Virtual Stadium Technology: A dynamic 3D environment with suspended cameras mimicking televised broadcasts.
Stunning Presentation: A rendered cinematic flythrough of the stadium sets the tone.
Advanced Camera System: Over 8 angles, including NetCam and tactical overhead views, plus full replay controls.
Motion-Captured Animation: Real player movements translated into wireframe models, then rendered with lighting and team-specific palettes.
New Passing Mechanics: Directional passing independent of player movement for smoother gameplay.
Audio Ambitions: Plans for John Motson commentary with 7,000+ voice samples (pending Saturn hardware limitations).
I went into Psychopathy Assessment completely blind, and the first 15-20 minutes deeply unsettled me, the experience made me squirm and feel nervous. The initial psychopathy assessment section really has a creepy vibe to it, the fact there is no explanation for what is happening, no explanation of the controls - it just starts asking you very interesting and thought-provoking questions about morality, justice, spirituality etc. and with only three possible options - yes, no, and unsure - it did lead me to think about them.
Straight after this, the game moves to an interview between two people and I initially wasn’t sure if this was a design choice or a glitch, but the text for the dialogue was cut off at the bottom, and I couldn’t read some of the lines, the rest of the text is perfectly readable throughout, so I’m assuming it was done to add confusion - it is a really cool touch. The next section (which I won’t spoil here) is really unsettling as well, the music is wonderfully atmospheric and the VHS lines and flickers added to the horror vibe.
Rich steps into the surreal world of Dreams of Another—a mind-bending indie adventure blending retro aesthetics with modern mystery. In this gameplay preview, we explore the opening moments of the game, showcasing its unique art style, ambient soundtrack, and intriguing mechanics.
Britt was sent this cool gadget that you could also benefit from, it's called the Hyperlink 2 and it's a Wireless controller adapter that's kinda snazzy at what it does and is pretty much compatible with pretty much EVERYTHING!
⚡ HyperLink 2: The Fastest Wireless Controller Adapter for Seamless Gaming
If you're serious about gaming performance, latency matters. That’s why the GuliKit HyperLink 2 Wireless Adapter is a game-changer—literally.
🚀 Ultra-Low Latency for Lightning-Fast Response
Powered by cutting-edge HyperLink 2 technology, this adapter delivers an astonishing 2.95ms latency, slashing delay by up to 50% compared to standard Bluetooth connections. That means your inputs register instantly, giving you the edge in fast-paced titles where every millisecond counts.
Whether you're battling online or navigating intense platformers, HyperLink 2 ensures buttery-smooth responsiveness and a boosted polling rate for precision control.
I’ve been quite partial to digital card games recently, and whilst I’ve played some corkers over the last year, Deathless. The Hero Quest seems to be pulling me back more than most, it’s blend of beautifully expressive and smooth animations, rousing soundtrack and compulsive gameplay means that I find myself settling down for that golden sense of ‘one more try’.
Set in the fictional fantasy world of Belosvet, the game begins with a number of options to tailor your journey to your specific level of difficulty, as well as letting you decide which hero you will take on this epic quest first, will it be the sword and (surprisingly gun-like) wand-brandishing Alyosha? The towering Dobrynya, an armoured warrior who wields a huge sword and dragon skin covered shield? The sorceress Vasilisa, or perhaps the treasure hunter Varvara who tears into battle with a pickaxe and magic braid? Whoever you choose, fun is certainly imminent.
Magic: The Gathering tells stories through its cards, art, and mechanics. Each set builds on a world that grows richer with every release. In recent years, Wizards of the Coast has widened that creative vision through Universes Beyond, a line that welcomes other legendary worlds into Magic’s multiverse. From Middle-earth to Marvel, these collaborations show how strong storytelling and imaginative design can exist side by side.
Before exploring the individual sets, it helps to look at the current release schedule. Players, collectors, and every UK-based Magic: The Gathering store have plenty to prepare for as crossovers become a steady part of the game’s rhythm.
Rich steps into a world of dark fantasy and strategic combat in The Chronicles Of Overlord. This PC gameplay showcase dives into turn-based battles, character progression, and rich lore-driven storytelling. Whether you're a fan of tactical RPGs or anime-inspired fantasy, this video gives you a first look at the mechanics, visuals, and gameplay flow.
Rich is welcomed to Map Map, the indie puzzle-strategy game where maps aren’t just tools—they’re the entire game. In this PC gameplay video, we explore how cartography becomes a core mechanic, blending exploration, logic, and spatial storytelling.
In this video, Rich dives into Aegis Force: The Scorian War, a turn-based tactical RPG set in a fantasy universe. Expect grid-based combat, pixel-perfect planning, and a war with some evil crows. 🐦⬛
Rich Steps into the dazzling world of EFFULGENCE RPG—a party-based, turn-based RPG built entirely from animated ASCII art. In this Ten Minute Taster, we explore the demo’s surreal landscapes, battle strangely polite hostiles, and craft gear.
We’ve recently received a selection of products from Trust which I’ll be covering over the next few weeks, the first of which is the Trust GXT 409 Oxxie Wireless Earphones.
I’ve been using these pretty consistently for over three weeks now, and I’m impressed with what the GXTrust Oxxie offers, in fact – they have usurped my previous day-to-day earphones due to their more balanced, yet still bass-heavy sound.
The earphones feel solid and robust, and the charging case - whilst it is plastic - also feels resilient, as well as being stylish in design. The case also handily holds a USB-C Bluetooth adapter for those platforms that require it.
The creators of Little Nightmares™ I & II have returned to take you on a darker, more terrifying journey than ever before. In this horror adventure game, a brother & sister go through hell to rescue their missing friends and escape the island that they used to call home.
Rich steps into the cursed zombie forest of The Legacy, where survival is anything but guaranteed. In this gameplay episode, we explore creepy watch towers , fend off relentless zombie hordes, and uncover the secrets buried beneath the ruins. Whether you're a retro horror fan or just love a good survival challenge, this one's for you.
Anyone who thinks casino games are based purely on luck is overlooking some essential factors that influence the outcome of each game: RTP, house edge, randomness mechanisms (RNGs), volatility, and probability. Between luck and flashing lights lie mathematics and algorithms that govern the outcome of every game. Those who are familiar with these factors have a clear advantage and can make informed decisions to influence their winnings.
Rich gets welcomed to Absolum, where gritty pixel brawling meets dark fantasy storytelling. In this Ten Minute Taster, we dive into the opening chapter of this roguelite beat-'em-up that channels Streets of Rage with a splash of Fighting Fantasy flair.
Following on from FIFA INTERNATIONAL SOCCER [1993] EA served up an iteration to the existing tried and tested formula with FIFA 95 that had tweaks to the gameplay based on what worked and didn't work in the extremely successful original game.
This time EA were marketing the fact that FIFA 95 had:
Improved intelligence.
Players that move off the ball and provide better service.
An amended passing system to provide more accurate passes to team mates.
Bullet headers on goal, that could go beyond the reach of the diving 'keeper.
New volleys which you'll need to go one-on-one with smarter 'keepers.
Goals now can come from volleys, half-volleys and swerving banana shots.
They also boasted of harder shots, Faster players, Stronger passes.
Over 200 international teams.
The ability to play a complete domestic league season, then take your team on tour abroad.
Also an injury system that was innovative for the time as picking up an injury might mean that your star player could be out for the season.
Fatigue was also introduced as a feature which meant that players would tire during matches and the need for subs to be brought on was more of a tactical consideration.
EA also added in a set piece system with on screen UI to assist you to be able to score from deadly set play free kicks.
Unboxing the Snakebyte Twin Charge S2 for Nintendo Switch 2! Looking for a sleek, reliable way to charge your Joy-Cons? Rich dives into the Snakebyte Twin Charge S2 to see if it lives up to the hype. From build quality to LED indicators, here’s everything you need to know before you buy.
I had had my eye on Helldivers 2 since the PC launch last year, and had been itching for the promised Xbox release for a long time. The release actually got me to pay for an Xbox game for the first time in ages, Game Pass being what it is.
For the uninitiated, Helldivers 2 is a squad-based shooter, where you and up to three team-mates drop onto a planet to achieve your mission objectives before being airlifted to safety. These objectives range from 'take this thing here', 'blow this thing up' or 'defend this bit of ground while a thing happens', through to 'kill as many enemies as you can while staying as alive as you can'. It's safe to say that it's not a story-heavy game.
However, there is some framing. You are a Helldiver, one the elite soldiers of Super Earth, sent to battle its enemies while championing liberty, spreading Managed Democracy and staying true to the cause. Of course, it's all camouflage over the fact that you fight for a totalitarian dictatorship, with the satire very reminiscent of Starship Troopers.
Gaming is increasingly becoming more flexible, with new technology allowing you to enjoy high-quality experiences no matter where you are. With the rise of mobile-first devices and the adoption of USB-C, gaming has become faster and more convenient. As more gamers embrace mobile gaming, these innovations are making a noticeable difference in how you play. Let’s take a closer look at just how USB-C and smartphones are changing gaming.
Atari is taking a bold step into the past to celebrate the future. Today, the legendary gaming company announced the Intellivision Sprint, a brand-new console designed to honour the 45th anniversary of the original Intellivision—the iconic home video game system that helped define the early days of console gaming.
🕹️ A Tribute to the First Console War
Originally released in 1980 as a direct rival to the Atari 2600, the Intellivision carved out a name for itself with more realistic sports games, richer graphics, and its signature gold-and-black design. The fierce competition between the two consoles became known as the First Console War, a defining moment in gaming history.
Now, four and a half decades later, Atari is reviving that legacy with the Intellivision Sprint—a modern reimagining that blends retro charm with contemporary tech.
Ever wondered what happens after a giant monster levels a city in an epic battle? Someone’s got to clean up the mess—and that someone is you. Indie developer One More Time has just unveiled Kaiju Cleaner Simulator, a hilariously grotesque co-op experience for 1–4 players where the real heroes are the ones with mops, saws, and hazmat suits.
🧪 First-Person Mayhem Meets Monster Dissection
Kaiju Cleaner Simulator throws players into the boots of a professional post-battle cleanup team. Your mission? Restore devastated cities by dissecting kaiju corpses, extracting valuable organs, and scrubbing away toxic sludge. It’s a brutal, first-person affair filled with scalpels, saws, heavy machinery—and more than a few laughs.
Each mission is a blend of precision and chaos. You’ll need to carefully carve through massive monster anatomy, manage biological waste, and harvest upgrade-worthy materials. Think PowerWash Simulator meets Dead Space, with a dash of dark comedy.
🦍My only history with King Kong is going on the ride at Universal Studio with the most bored man I’ve ever seen manning the controls. I don’t know if it was his last day or the world was crushing his soul, but he was not selling me on how scary Kong was, his voice didn’t convey that Kong was a terrifying threat - more like he was bored, and lunch was coming soon.
So, this is to say I don’t have much history with the franchise, and the little I did have didn’t paint Kong in the best light - though that’s not the big ape’s fault in all fairness. Could this game finally make a good impression and bring the King back to Kong?
Casino levels in video games have always been a magnet for players, combining flashy visuals, high-stakes tension, and a touch of unpredictability. These settings aren’t just about spinning reels or playing poker chips, they’re often where games flex their creativity and storytelling muscle.
Part of the appeal is how naturally casino settings fit into a game’s world, creating instant tension and blending flashy style with unpredictable outcomes. Casinos symbolise ambition, desire, or even freedom; a mix of luck and control that speaks to players on a personal level.
Get ready for retro-fuelled chaos as Chip 'N Clawz take on the alien menace known as The Brainioids! In this full gameplay session, we dive into 3D platforming, wacky weapons, Tower Defence Mechanics and brain-busting boss battles. Think Saturday morning cartoons meet arcade action—pure nostalgia with a modern twist.
Step into the golden age of football gaming as Rich revisits ISS PRO 98—the PlayStation classic that redefined soccer simulation. From its slick gameplay to its legendary Master League mode, this episode explores why ISS PRO 98 remains a cornerstone in football gaming history.
The newest title from the Philadelphia-based developer PHL Collective, the classic spooky children’s franchise Goosebumps is getting the PHL treatment.
The last game that I played by this development team was DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos which I covered last year, and much like this one, whilst it isn’t a trailblazer in the genre, the respect for the franchise in hand combined with a high quality presentation means that this is another great game to play with youngsters.
The main difference being that whilst Cosmic Chaos was an entry towards an ARPG style of game, Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek acts as a gateway of sorts to the survival horror genre, much as the books will eventually pave the way to Clive Barker et al. Good!
Before FIFA came along soccer video games were generally simple affairs with not many thrills or presentation. Animation was generally limited and rightly or wrongly the main focus of titles like Kick Off and Sensible Soccer was the playability rather than the look of the game.
FIFA from EA Sports changed all of that by introducing a game that was not only fun to play but also lovely to look at.
I thought it would be fun to look at as many of the Iterations of FIFA over the years to see what (if anything) changed across each release. I do this stuff for shits and giggles, some people say I'm broken but maybe I'm just 🎶football crazy, football mad!🎶
Amidst much speculation the long rumoured Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster is allegedly still in the works.
Leaker NateTheHate, who has built a reputation of being a reliable source of information responded to a query on X stating simply "Yes, they exist"
It’s been over half a decade since Red Dead Redemption 2 first rode onto the previous console generation, and to many it remains the gold standard. While most games from 2018 have started to show their age, Arthur Morgan’s world remains as breathtaking as ever, a dusty, cinematic marvel that looks and feels like it could’ve released yesterday.
Every Filipino knows that nothing beats the energy of a fiesta. It’s a time when the whole town comes alive — music fills the air, food stalls line the streets, and laughter echoes everywhere. And right at the heart of every celebration is the Perya — that bright, colorful carnival full of spinning wheels, flashing lights, and familiar cheers of “Pula!” “Puti!” “Dilaw!”
For years, the Perya Game has been a beloved part of Filipino culture. It’s where families and friends gather to play, laugh, and test their luck together. It’s simple, exciting, and full of that festive spirit we all love.
But as times changed and life got busier, the classic perya game started to fade away. Fiestas became less frequent, and those fun carnival booths we grew up with slowly disappeared.
Thankfully, the excitement didn’t die — it simply evolved. Today, the Perya Game is back and better than ever — this time, online! Thanks to digital platforms like GameZone, Filipinos can now relive the thrill of the carnival at any time, from anywhere.
In this Ten Minute Taster episode, Rich dives into Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny on Nintendo Switch 2—where SpongeBob, Danny Phantom, and other iconic characters face off in a dice-driven adventure packed with chaos, strategy, and laughs.
You’ve finally taken the plunge into mobile gaming. Perhaps you’ve just downloaded your first game, or maybe you’re just now realising that there’s a whole universe waiting for you to explore. But where do you start?
Gaming on your phone can be a little overwhelming at first, so here's a guide to ease you in and help you make the most of your new hobby.
I hit the road during a zombie apocalypse… and it went badly. Very badly.
In this quick-look gameplay session, I dive into Deadly Days: Roadtrip—a chaotic rogue lite survival game where scavenging, explosions, and questionable decisions are all part of the journey.
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to cover the original Dark Deity on Switch back in 2022 when I awarded the game 9/10, having thoroughly enjoyed the experience… with the exception of the downtime between the turn-based skirmishes in which a light visual novel element crept in, and I found myself mindlessly skipping through paragraphs of seemingly endless dialogue and banter between the characters in my party.
With this sequel, Sword & Axe LLC have found a way to tighten this aspect, blending in the more dialogue-heavy sections into the actual plot itself, making it a much more seamless experience, that makes the game feel more cohesive, and much more inviting and playable, with these scenes feeling as important in terms of unveiling the expanding tale as the core combat sections themselves.
The Edge of Allegoria is an atypical Game Boy-esque JRPG in that, whilst it has the usual turn-based battles, top-down adventure vibe, and glorious chiptune music, the basis for the writing is a pretty vulgar crudeness that, whilst setting it apart from more generic titles in the same genre, means that your mileage will very much vary dependent on how amusing you find crass language.
Whilst there’s nothing offensive about The Edge of Allegoria, the story sort of sits in the background, and gameplay overall is pretty standard with the main hook in the combat being that you acquire certain masteries of weapons after using them for a short while that broadens your arsenal of attacks against monsters that have physical. Magical, and elemental abilities.
There are some nice visual flourishes, such as the overall colour palette changing as you get poisoned or wounded etc. with the music being the usual jaunty GB fun, but the very thing that sets The Edge of Allegoria apart – its use of adult language and humour – makes it a game that people will either click with or find tiresome.
Unbox and power up with the Snakebyte Power Charge S2—a sleek dual charging dock designed for the Nintendo Switch 2! In this video, we take a close look at build quality, LED indicators, and how well it handles Joy-Con and Pro Controller charging.
