The Puyo Puyo series is gaining some long-deserved recognition as it arrives on Western consoles.

🍩 Heave Ho - REVIEW (Switch) - "...Swing when you’re winning" 🍩 #GameDev #IndieGames

Developer Le Cartel’s previous game was the uber-violent, side-scrolling drug-fuelled brawler Mother Russia Bleeds, a fantastic game (especially in local co-op, natch) filled with faeces-throwing, vomiting and face-stomping.

HEAVE HO, their next title takes the natural next step of being a physics-based party game. Good!

⚔️ Decay Of Logos - REVIEW "trailers may make it appear to have Zelda: Breath of the Wild qualities" ⚔️ #IndieGames #GameDev

Decay of Logos is a good game but it’s a good game for a very specific type of player. 

Whilst trailers may make it appear to have Zelda: Breath of the Wild qualities, the ‘reviewer’s guide’ included with the review copy (genuinely well-written, succinct and handy) paints a truer picture of the game in that it has more in common with the Dark Souls series in its design and approach.

🐷🐔🐺 Hotline Miami Collection - Nintendo Switch - REVIEW - "Still hot but slightly chilled" 🐺🐔🐷 #GameDev #IndieGames

I originally played the first Hotline Miami game on my PS Vita several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, although I never got around to the sequel. re-playing the game now, it is clear that the magic is still there and the ability to have both games in one place is a nice feature but there are some things about the collection that detract from the experience.

🦖🦕 God Eater 3 - SWITCH REVIEW - "Grab your favourite weapon and start chopping" 🦖🦕 #GameDev #IndieGames

If you're one of those people who thought Monster Hunter could do with more of a Devil May Cry aesthetic, over-the-top anime cutscenes, and needlessly large NPC boobs, then do I have a treat for you.

🕹️ 🌞 A Trip To Isle Of Wight "Some Lovely Arcades & The Needles" 🌞 🕹️ #RetroGaming

The Isle Of Wight is my happy place when it comes to UK Holidays.

Are Today's Cartoon Games To Blame For Violence?

Cartoon games have been given a rough ride as of late. The media seems to paint the picture of games as the villain. They have been blamed for exposing children to violence. But this is a very one-sided image. To completely blame cartoon games for showcasing violence would be vastly unfair. In fact, some people would go as far as to say that games are not responsible for this at all. And, if you delve a little bit deeper then you may find that you agree with this.

Stardew Cemetery. Stardew Body. Charneldew Valley. Stardew RIP. 

All rubbish.

⛪️ The Church in the Darkness - REVIEW (PS4) - "..huh?” “..wha?” “..ung?” ⛪️ #GameDev #IndieGames

I hadn’t heard of The Church in the Darkness before receiving it for review but the trailer, voice cast (Ellen McLain - GLaDOS of Portal fame and her real-life husband John Patrick Lowrie) as well as the premise of secretly making your way through a cult to rescue your nephew) really grabbed me.

Pawarumi immediately offers you three different weapons and one super attack out of the gate.

🤖 Super Mutant Alien Assault - REVIEW - "Aim, shoot, kill, repeat" 🤖 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Super Mutant Alien Assault - Developer: Cybernate - Platform Reviewed: Switch

Billed by the developers as ‘The Citizen Kane of Super Crate Box clones’

(A game I have never played and so am unable to comment on)

Super Mutant Alien Assault puts you in the shoes of a lowly security droid (or two, in the case of the local co-op mode) that has to clear out waves of  enemies in a series of 2D rooms whilst completing basic tasks such as carrying canisters from one machine to another or cooling generators that slowly overheat, all the while picking up a selection of random guns and grenades to help you destroy the ever-appearing alien menace.

Super Skidmarks from 1995 was developed by Codemasters and has the Codemasters fingerprints all over it.

For me, it's like a tougher Micro Machines with a Rally flavour running through it and boy is it tough.

Watch me struggle and whine through a Championship round of tough knocks and Super Skids!

⛏️⚒️ SteamWorld Dig "A Few Thoughts On A Switch Game I Really DIG" ⛏️⚒️ #IndieGame #GameDev

If you haven't played SteamWorld Dig "A Fistful Of Dirt" before then now is the time to buy it on Switch as it's currently dirt cheap (geddit?) 

I'd heard so many good things about this 2018 Switch release (originally released in 2013 for 3DS and PC) and it had sat on my 'to buy' list for many months before I eventually snapped it up on Switch for a few quid in the special offers section. 

Oh, man am I glad I finally got to experience this game!

💥 Blazing Chrome - REVIEW (PS4) "Robots have taken over the world and almost wiped humanity out" 💥 #GameDev #IndieGame

A game that takes a lot of its style and aesthetic from classic Run ‘n’ Gun Grand-daddy Contra, it looks, sounds and feels a lot like the title it apes but in doing so fails to move the genre forward in any way and instead feels like a fan-written love letter to the game.

😺 Senran Kagura: Peach Ball - REVIEW - "A mediocre Pinball Game Dressed Up in Furs" 😺 #GameDev #IndieGames

Game Title: Senran Kagura: Peach Ball - Developer: Marvelous! - Platform Reviewed: Nintendo Switch

Senran Kagura has released games in various genres and now turn their attention to erotic pinball, the premise here being that a group of young women are turning into various animals and one of their friends has luckily devised a way to save them… a ball that fits perfectly into a pinball machine and needs to be flippered at them mercilessly, until they change back to the young, busty humans that they once were.

🎨👩‍🎨💾 My Video Game Inspired Art "Commodore Amiga Disks" 💾👨‍🎨🖼️ #FanArt #RetroGaming #Commodore #CreatorsUnite

The Commodore Amiga was awash with copied video game disks in the '90s.

If you went to a car boot sale there was always a few dodgy geezers selling copied disks out of a cardboard box on a stall in the corner of a field.

Some say that piracy was a major contribution to the eventual demise of the Commodore Amiga.

I loved my Commodore Amiga 600 and I made a habit of buying my original games from Special Reserve which was a cool mail-order video games shop.
