REVIEW – Gunstar Heroes (Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack)
Gunstar Heroes became an instant classic when it first released back in the early 90’s on the Sega Genesis. Gaming has moved on a lot since then, and while we embrace 4K gaming with photo-realistic graphics, is there still room to enjoy classics at a 4:3 aspect ratio?

Review – Timelie
While I played Timelie, I thought a lot about the title of the game. From the logo, it’s obviously a play on the word timeline but, without the N, we can think about it as time lie or timely. It’s a simple and inventive title, because the game indeed carries all these meanings.

REVIEW – Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain
Now that we are rolling out of the festive period, it’s time to get back into the swing of things before we get too far into 2022.

REVIEW – Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Back in the days of the mid-2000’s, Pokémon was in a bit of a slump. Pokémania had tapered off after the second generation and was unable to really reach the same highs with the third, so with the release of the Nintendo DS came a new opportunity to strike big. The growing audience for gaming thanks to Nintendo’s push into the “Blue Ocean” gave Pokémon Diamond and Pearl a sporting chance to reach many more newcomers than ever before. But that was 2006/2007, we’re now in an age of unparalleled popularity for the series and the time has come for the remakes of the fourth generation, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, to once again make their mark. Welcome back to the world of Sinnoh, may your adventures begin!
