๐ฑ Carrion | Review | Nintendo Switch | "Carrion Screaming" ๐ฑ @devolverdigital #IndieGames #GameDev
Carrion is a surprisingly addictive and satisfying ‘reverse-horror’ title that feels unique in its take on the genre.
Whilst there are games that cast you as an anti-hero or even full-blown villain, there aren’t many examples whereby you play an all-consuming, morphing beast that lurks in the shadows, a force of sheer terror.

๐ฎ Venom Travel Kit | Review | A Cool Piece Of Kit For Use With XBOX ONE and XBOX ONE ELITE Controllers ๐ฎ @VenomGamingUK
Product link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Venom-Project-xCloud-Mobile-Gaming
Rating: ICE COOL
Available on Amazon and priced at £19.99, the Venom Travel Kit is a handy, robust and practical package designed with the upcoming Project XCloud in mind.
For me personally, however, it was surprisingly useful beyond this and actually opened a doorway into a different realm of gaming.

Outbuddies DX is a hefty Metroidvania with retro-styled visuals, Outbuddies DX has some neat twists on the formula and some sterling audio-work but a clunky control scheme and an unwieldy map-system are detrimental to the flow of the game.

๐น️๐ฎ Britt's Personal Top 20 Video Games ๐น️๐ฎ @BrittRecluseuk #RetroGaming #IndieGames
Introduction
I find any list of this type to be very fluid, listing the top twenty games of all time objectively would be impossible.
What I’ve done here is to list the games that had the biggest impact on me across a broad spectrum of genres as possible and always come to mind during these types of conversations.
I actually wrote out this list a couple of weeks ago and then returned to it later to see if it still felt ‘right’ and it did, so I stuck with it.
Next month, who knows? It could be a different story.

I decided it was about time I had a go at building my own arcade cabinet so at the start of lockdown armed with one sheet of wood and a Jigsaw I had a go. This is the result and while there's room for improvement I'm also happy with the outcome plus I enjoyed every moment of planning it and making it. Here's a link to the Instructables guide and the best video I found to help: Instructables Link: https://www.instructables.com/id/A-Super-Easy-Arcade-Machine-from-1-Sheet-of-Plywoo/ YouTube Video Link: https://youtu.be/tXZQoQT0CDU

๐ฎ๐ก๐ฏ️ A Lifetime of Rage That Turns Blood to Steam and Controllers to Dust ๐ฎ๐ก๐ฏ️
We’ve all been there, missing that pixel-perfect leap, taking a fatal hit just as we were about to nail the boss, the timer running out as the chequered flag approached, watching the ball fall betwixt the flippers as you were about to crack your high score or an unfair sniper shot from a thousand years away. Every gamer has had their moments of a geyser of fiercely boiling rage causing blackouts or their clothes to burst into flames.
Well, nothing quite like that, obviously, but you get the gist.

๐ค How To Make Friends Safely On Roblox ๐ค
Online games can be wonderful social facilitators. If you’ve ever played World of Warcraft or even a competitive game like Apex Legends and found a group of people with whom you share a true kinship, then you’ll know exactly how good that can feel.
Of course, different kinds of games can enable different connections. In League of Legends, for example, you might make friends to help you climb through the unforgiving ranked ladder, while in World of Warcraft you may form an unbreakable bond with guildmates with whom you’ve raided on a regular basis.
