Like sneakers, high-profile video games attract some very passionate fanbases.

Those in the know savour the release of a long-awaited (and ultra-hyped) new game or shoe.

Lately, brands have tried to capitalize on the hype by releasing big-name game editions of popular sneakers – with mixed results (yes you, Adidas-Cyberpunk 2077).

Inspired by that, Supplement Timing's design team took the video game franchise spin-off to the next level, by designing sneakers in the style of 8 iconic game worlds:

A 2D action-platformer in which you can choose your class of character and even switch between styles mid-game, Hellbreachers looks good and has some nice ideas but suffers in level design, control and repetition.

⚔️ Golden Force | Review | Nintendo Switch | 6/10 | "Golden Force is Very Much of the Wonder Boy ilk" ⚔️ @NoGravity_Games #IndieGames #GameDev

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On
In redrafting this review I've noticed I keep calling the game Golden Axe. 

It is not Golden Axe, which is one of my favourite beat 'em ups, with a cracking soundtrack and extremely unfair later levels (ah, the 80s). 

It is reminiscent of another classic series though, and that is Wonder Boy.

It was only a few days after I’d reviewed (and subscribed to) Amiga Addict that I came across 1993 Shenandoah.
A game originally designed for the Amiga that was abandoned but has now been completed and released on Switch?

📚📖 Tex Murphy and the Poisoned Pawn – a Novel by Aaron Connors 📚📖 @aaronconners #BookReview

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On
Having been a fan of the Tex Murphy games since the early nineties, it was only in late 2018 that I realised that there were a series of books based on the video games. The novels are written by author Aaron Connors – who is also screenplay/story writer on the games - and, after reading and thoroughly enjoying The Pandora Directive, I was lucky enough to get some time with Aaron for a GF interview back in 2019:

Since then, I’ve been keenly awaiting the arrival of Tex Murphy and the Poisoned Pawn for more futuristic private detective action and I’m pleased to say that it is absolutely worth the wait and another awesome chapter in the ongoing Tex Murphy story.

👒 Tales From the Borderlands | Review | Xbox Series X | 8/10 | "A Feisty-Heisty Tale" 👒

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

I was quite looking forward to covering Tales From the Borderlands as it was only a few weeks ago that I got hips deep into Borderlands 3 (https://www.gamesfreezer.co.uk/2021/01/borderlands-3-review-x-box-series-x-my.html) and also picked up the soundtrack on vinyl (Sanctuary 3 is an absolute blinder) so the thought of more Borderlands action was very much right up my Strasse.
