☆ Review: RunGun JumpGun "Minigun mayhem that may melt your mind" ☆
Developer: ThirtyThree
Platform reviewed: Nintendo Switch
RunGunJumpGun is a twitch-shooter video game that was originally released on mobile devices in 2016 and has now been ported to the Nintendo Switch. The game avoids the usual pitfalls of mobile ports by being very, very good at what it does and what it does is kill you…a lot…but enjoyably.

☆ The Nintendo Switch End Of Year Report: A+ ☆
I’ve owned a Nintendo Switch for around a month now and I have just completed Mario Odyssey to the point where I have travelled to the dark side of the moon and pummelled the tougher versions of the Broodals.
It’s at this point where I would like to call a quick timeout and take a little look back at what I’ve learned about the Switch so far and how it has changed my gaming habits.

☆ Review: Genital Jousting - PC - "A game that doesn’t make a dick of itself" ☆ #GameDev #IndieGame
Game: Genital Jousting
Platform: PC (Steam)
Developer: Free Lives
When I first received Genital Jousting to review, I hadn’t heard of it.
I assumed that it was a party game in the vein of Stick Fight, Sumotori and games of that ilk.
After watching the trailer, I could see that a heavy focus would be on the newly-implemented story mode. A story seemingly about a willy trying to ‘get his end away’, so I thought it would be hastily thrown together as a sort of jokey mini-game amuse-bouche in preparation for the inevitable online main course (not unlike COD).
What actually happened was that I was treated to my first surprise personal delight of 2018.
Genital Jousting delivers…in inches.

Recently, I travelled to Amsterdam for a friend’s fortieth (panic not, for I am still fresh out of the oven at thirty-four) and I did some research before-hand and discovered that there was indeed a few game shops out there and also a couple of arcades, good!
It would provide a break from the coffee shops/head shops/seed shops / astonishingly expensive bars.

☆ The History Of Football Management Video Games 1982 to 1999 ☆ #Retrogaming
Of all the video games that I have played over the years, the most time I have spent in front of a computer screen was always with football management games.
(closely followed by Soccer Video Games )
It's been an obsession of mine for years. Ever since I played Football Manager 2 on my mate Briggsy's Amstrad CPC I just knew this was the genre for me.
For the last few years, I've often looked for a definitive guide to this sub-genre of video games which listed out the games in date order, but alas I could never find the appropriate tome that satisfied this itch of mine.

☆ Review: Oh…Sir!! The Insult Simulator & The Hollywood Roast "Gags that fall flatter than uuhh…eerrrmm..ahhhh" ☆ #GameDev
Developer: Vile Monarch
System Reviewed: Nintendo Switch
Rating: Melting
I first played Oh Sir on Steam last year when I picked the game up in a sale for a few pence. It only provided me with about thirty minutes’ combined worth of entertainment but nonetheless I felt like I had my money’s worth from the game.
Fast-forward twelve months to playing the same game on the Switch, combined with the spin-off title The Hollywood Roast and it’s fair to say that the joke has worn thin.

☆ Video Games with The Best Soundtracks ☆
When it comes to video games, most look to the graphics to determine if a game is playable or not and if it’s likely to be entertaining or not.
However, there are many other video games that do not just impress when it comes to graphics but whose impressiveness transcends to the soundtracks as well.
The following are such kind of games and they are accessible from NetBet Casino for those who want to try them and see if they are indeed the real deal.

☆ Review: Shu - "A platformer so good, you’ll be floating on air" ☆ #Gamedev #IndieGame
Game: Shu
Platform Reviewed: Nintendo Switch
Developer: Coatsink
Rating: ICE COOL
There have been a lot of video game releases recently for the Switch and I’ve noticed a fair few of these are ports from Steam from several years ago (Crimsonland for £15, anyone?) of varying quality and so coming across a game like Shu which has clearly being loving ported with attention to detail and also at a very impressive price (£7.69 at the time of writing) is a genuine breath of fresh air.
A platformer that feels familiar but with its own unique twists, Shu is a golden addition to any Switch owner’s collection.
