🌅Here is a Ten Minute Taster for Storm in a Teacup's Close to the Sun on the PC.🌞

This video game has a dark Bioshock feel about the world but feels like a slower paced story-driven video game.

This video shows the Prologue and Chapter 1 in its entirety.

🏁 Kingdom of Carts Vs. Germany "The Battle Of Britt(ain) Faye" 🏁 #Retrogaming

Having been to Paris on several occasions (possible Faye’s favourite place in the world) and drunk deep from the well of gaming there, we decided it was time for a change and planned a trip to Cologne and Berlin over the space of a week.

Yes, the country is historically and culturally rich, almost every street corner has a story behind it and you could get lost for days, constantly learning more and more about this hub of Europe….but will I find a copy of Arx Fatalis on the Xbox for a fistful of Euros?

🏎️🏁 Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour - Nitro Edition "A nice drive that loses control occasionally…before hitting a wall" 🏎️🏁 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Table Top Racing: World Tour - Nitro Edition
Developer: Playrise Digital
Platform Reviewed: Nintendo Switch
Rating: Melting

The genre of arcade racing has long been one of my favourites, from the days of Super Sprint to the Amiga PD gem High Octane, the isometric fun of Super Off-Road, the inevitable Micro Machines and not forgetting PS2 classic Mashed (and under-appreciated pseudo-sequel Wrecked) the genre is a staple of gaming days at mine for literally decades. Table Top Racing is a neat spin on the genre by bringing in a Mario Kart sensibility to the miniaturised racing theme, the game, however, has a history stretching back to 2013 that does cast a shadow on the current Switch release.

There is nothing like completely immersing yourself in a totally different world the way you can do in an RPG or role-playing game. In fact, this genre is one of the most popular and long-lasting of all types of game, even if aficionados are thought of as somewhat nerdy. Slurs be damned though because just about everyone can have fun in an RPG, and to prove it we've listed some of the best choices across different platforms below.

🕹️📺The Retro Console Price Guide - Cheat Sheet (A Car Booters Dream) 🕹️📺 #Retrogaming

It's that time of year when your mind begins to stray to Car Boot sales and the dream of bagging that ultimate car boot sale deal.

I've never had much luck with Car Boot bargains but that's probably because I'm not getting there early enough to loot those car boots in time!

This year I have vowed to get there nice and early and to go pre-armed with a nice little cheat sheet to ensure I know the rough going rate for each console I'm likely to come across.

🕹️ Video Game Hardware Timelines - Nintendo Timeline - 1889 to 2017 🕹️ #Retrogaming #Nintendo

After doing a SEGA timeline and having a first stab at a Nintendo Timeline in the articles below I decided to take another look at the Nintendo Timeline and fit it into the style of the one I did for SEGA as it seems to visually display the timeline in a better way.

Nintendo started out in 1889 with cards and then moved into video games in 1977. The rise and rise of Nintendo from then onwards has been documented millions of times over the years with only a few bumps in the road such as the Virtual Boy in 1995 and some even point to the GameCube or the Wii U as being failures but I don't think so.

So here just for you is the NINTENDO HARDWARE TIMELINE 1889 to 2017...

🔥 Review: Vaporum "Steam me up, Scotty" 🔥 @VaporumGame #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Vaporum

Developer: Fatbot Games

Platform Reviewed: Playstation 4

Rating: Melting

Price: $24.99 / £19.99

Not a shop in which you can buy e-cigarette products, Vaporum is instead a great Steam-punk Dungeon Crawler that feels restricted by the limitations of the genre.

🦅 Review: Feather (SWITCH) "A relaxing flight" 🦅 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Feather

Developer: Samurai Punk

Price: £8 / $13

Platform Reviewed: Nintendo Switch

Rating: Melting

A casual game with no enemies, puzzles or challenge beyond enjoying flying around an island as a bird, feather entertains for a short while but the complete lack of any goal and the relatively small size of the island you explore from above quickly catches up with you and (although there are some cave systems to head through) are all discovered in well under an hour.

🗝️ Review: Treasure Stack "Not Easy To Pick Up & Not Easy To Master" 🗝️ @TreasureStack #GameDev #IndieGame

Format: Nintendo Switch

Most puzzle games set out to get you hooked with an easy to pick up game loop but a hard to master long game...

This is definitely not the case with Treasure Stack...

🕹️ Antstream Kickstarter: "The first streaming platform for retro gaming" 🕹️ @Antstreamgames #Retrogaming

I came across the Antstream service last year when I visited the PLAY Expo in London. I didn't get an opportunity to have a go but it definitely piqued my interest. I've been keeping track of developments over the last few months and this week received an email to confirm that a Kickstarter for Antstream has just been launched.

Let me take a moment to break down Antstream and the Kickstarter for you...

The Antstream Team are looking for £50,000 by Friday May 10th 2019. The funds raised will go towards the development of the platform and also adding further games to the service.

Here's a really interesting video from Square Enix that covers the development stories from making FINAL FANTASY VII...

🕹️📙 Video Game Novelisation – The 7th Guest and Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive 📙 🕹️

‘The 7Th Guest: A Novel ‘ by Matthew J Costello & Craig Shaw Gardner

‘The Pandora Directive (A Tex Murphy Novel )’ by Aaron Conners

It dawned on me a few weeks ago that I had never read a novelisation of a video game. The closest thing I can think of was how I voraciously inhaled Andrzej Sapkowski’s ‘The Witcher’ series, which whilst having a strong connection to the video game series I initially played (the games are based on the novels), are a separate canonical entity. With this in mind, I picked up a few books that were novelisations of games I had previously enjoyed playing and the first ones I spotted at a saucy price were the books mentioned in the title of this article.

🕹️🎮🔮 Past, Present, Future: Gaming Consoles 🕹️🎮🔮

Pixabay (CC0 Licence)

The gaming world is one that moves incredibly quickly. What is all the rage today will soon fall from prominence, replaced by new, exciting developments; while the present day remains important, with gaming, there always seem to be one foot that is placed firmly in the future.

The above is true of almost all aspects of gaming but is perhaps most strongly felt when it comes to consoles. As a read through eight generations of gaming history quickly makes clear, consoles have come a long way in a relatively short space of time. If you’re in your 20s or 30s now, the chances are that the consoles you used as a teenager are now considered to be almost-obsolete, and the console features you now see as basic requirements would once have been innovative and exciting. Change happens; consoles evolve, and the world of gaming keeps turning - so it’s worth taking a moment to think about where consoles might go next.

Platform Reviewed: PlayStation 4

Rating: Melting

I’ll preface this review by stating that The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel isn’t a bad game, there is a lot to like about it but from a personal perspective, it just feels so safe and generic that it’s tough to recommend to anyone but serious lovers of the JRPG genre and so I felt that I couldn’t quite give it the ‘Ice Cool’ rating.

😎 How VR Is Changing Gaming 😎

Driving Simulators

It’s no surprise to anyone who is paying attention that the world of Virtual Reality (VR) should be affecting the world of gaming so much.

But the amount that it is doing so, and the ways in which it is doing so, might come as a surprise to some people.

The truth is that this is clearly the next wave in gaming, and we can expect more and more platforms to start taking on board increasing amounts of VR components over the next few years.

It’s always hard to predict what the world of gaming will look like in ten years’ time, but at the moment we can probably say with some degree of confidence that it will be dominated by VR to some degree.

That doesn’t mean that there won’t be other gamer types out there, but VR looks set to be the way ahead for now. Let’s look at some current examples of where VR is being used in the world of gaming already.
