Surge Deluxe, an update of PlayStation Mobile title Surge, is a “Match-3” puzzle game from Velocity Ultra developers Futurlab.

#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 31
Inside Mount Gulug I find an old shanty town that is basically abandoned. Wraiths give me a few problems here, they can cast death which puts a 10 move countdown over a characters head, once it reaches 0 that character dies, another move they use: Devils Candle casts berzerk on the targeted character and as […]

bitparade: TxK (Vita)
Jeff Minter is, apparently, an easy developer to criticise. Whilst its all fine for one guy to dedicate the majority of their career to one particular series of games, it doesn’t seem to be okay for another guy to do the same in regards to trying to perfect the same game over a large space […]

Minecraft Dungeons
You may have missed this week’s big game release, its a new entry from a little known developer called Mojang and is a spin-off of their first, unknown project Minecraft. I mean, of course, you’ve heard of both of those. Anyway, I first saw a trailer for this a couple of months back and showed […]

Dreamcast: Year One – Andrew J Dickinson
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of SEGA’s final home console, in fact, I still have my Dreamcast set up (alongside my PS2, PS3, PS4 and Xbox One), it played a massive part in my teens. I still remember buying it from Gamestation in Nottingham (the one near the old Odeon cinema, that […]

bitparade: Senran Kagura Burst (Nintendo 3DS)
Some will say its brave that Marvelous Entertainment are brave to release Senran Kagura Burst, a game that features rather top heavy female Japanese high-school Shinobi with Dead or Alive-esque physics and a focus on panty shots, during a time when Western gaming culture is so heavily focused on the lack of female characters that […]

bitparade: Talisman (PC)
Now I must admit, I used to see virtual versions of popular board games on the PC and on consoles way back when I was a teenager and think that they were all pretty pointless, I couldn’t really understand who would buy them, anyone I knew who would play Monopoly, for example, would do so […]

2020 Pop Shuv-it: How 2020 is the year of the Skateboard game.
Okay, I know, the biggest spin anyone’s done in the real world is 11-year old Guy Khury’s 1080, but I needed a skateboarding pun for this year I’ve been trying to piece this together for a couple of weeks now, but after the announcement of Activision’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2, last week, […]

bitparade: Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God (Vita)
Every so often a game comes along that kind of makes you blink and wonder just what the hell is going on. Sorcery Saga: The Curse of the Great Curry God is exactly that type of game. Genre-wise its kind of dificult to pigeon-hole, some will label it a JRPG, others a Dungeon Crawler and […]

bitparade: Final Fantasy X HD Remaster (Vita)
Before we go any further, I’ve decided to split our review of Fial Fantasy X\X-2 HD Remaster into two seperate articles, with this one covering Final Fantasy X and a later one covering Final Fantasy X-2, this is purely because of the size of the two titles that are included as this re-release of one […]
