"I met Hideo Kojima once, well, I say met, I was standing behind him in a chip shop in Burnham-on-Sea called ‘The Battered Husband’ as he ordered fish, chips and mushy peas with loads of vinegar and lashings of brown sauce. Due to his seeming inability to truncate anything combined with how he couldn’t work his way through even a basic sentence without resorting to heavy-handed metaphors relating to existential crises, by the time he had finished reciting his order, his reasons for it and the history behind his reasons for it, the shop had closed and we were ushered hungrily outside. Turning to me, he said that he had never been to Burnham-on-sea before* and asked if I knew of anywhere that would be open that still served food.

🚀 Rocket Wars | REVIEW | Nintendo Switch | "Asteroids 2019" 🚀 #GameDev #IndieGames
Rocket Wars
Developer Name - Rooftop Panda
Format – Switch
Price - £10
You are a rocket fighting other rockets. A simple game. I think that it takes inspiration from the 1979 game Asteroids and taking inspiration from a classic is not a bad thing.
The game sees you flying around like a rocket with simple graphics around an arena type space area.
You use your rocket to destroy other rockets. Fighting against the simulator or against other people in online mode. You can get the chance to fight over different power-ups from lasers to a shotgun burst of bullets.

📺 Was The Games Master TV Show Really As Good As I Remember It? 📺 @GamesMaster
The Games Master TV programme acts as a warm nostalgia blanket of 90s television whenever I think about it.
The thing I have begun to wonder though is, would this fuzzy nostalgic vision of awesomeness be ruined if I were to rewatch these 90s soaked video games tv programmes in 2019?
Was the show really as good as I remember it?

🌳🏚️🌳The 13th Doll | REVIEW | "Dare YOU Return To Stauf’s Mansion?" 🌳🏚️🌳 #GameDev #IndieGame #7thGuest
A fan game based on The 7th Guest - the seminal PC adventure game released in 1993 – 13th Doll is a charming but flawed love letter to the original that has been in development for effectively over a decade and still feels like it could have used a few more months to iron out the more troubling issues.
If you are a fan of the original and yearn for more of the same then this could be a pleasant return to Stauf’s world but if you have no nostalgia for The 7th Guest, this probably isn’t the best place to start.

🔪🍚 Narcos Rise Of The Cartel | REVIEW | PS4 | "Slowly Slowly Catchy Pablo!" 🍚🔪 #GameDev #IndieGame #Narcos
My expectations for NARCOS: Rise Of The Cartels were low but I was hopeful that the dev team would be able to make something that NARCOS fans could enjoy.
I’d say that they have surpassed my expectations and made a fun Turn-Based strategy game that although can become a little repetitive at times more than makes up for it in the atmosphere and lovely level design.

So here are some tips to make your gaming experience more comfortable.
🐘 Woven | REVIEW | PS4 | "Quite the Quilter’s Dream" 🐘 @WoventheGame #IndieGames #GameDev
Woven is a wonderfully creative and vibrant, knitted, open-world game is that is ‘quite the quilter’s dream’ you could say.
It consists of textile-infused scenery full of patterns galore. You play a soft, stuffed elephant to boot. Just watching the trailer, it won my attention; I was definitely intrigued at what this Dutch developer (Alterego Games) had to offer.

🎮🕹️ The Future Of Video Games 🎮🕹️
It’s been a long time now since the likes of pong and Pacman started entertaining kids and adults alike. There are plenty of middle-aged folks out there now who will remember playing these games as a young child.
The video game industry is now what you could consider as being a mature industry. It has gone through loads since the first arcade games in the seventies started finding their way into our homes.

When the early home entertainment systems such as the NES started appearing in the living rooms of kids across the world, people probably thought that the future was there and that things could not get better than that.
