Review: Evil West

Date:
CowBoys vs Vampires. What’s not to love? Forget Daniel Craig and Cowboys Vs Aliens, with Evil West, Flying Wild Hog has brought us Electro-Steampunk Cowboys taking on Vampires in this old school third person shooter. It’s colourful, it’s loud, it’s cheesy… It’s like being back in the old PS2 days. If ‘splodey cartoon gore is […]

So I happily pre-ordered the game and waited with baited breath for Friday 21st October. I had a hell of a job deciding whether I […]

Marie Antoinette has been hidden away outside the city for […]

Review: Gloomwood
-
-
Date:
Gloomwood is a new game by New Blood Interactive that’s currently in Early Access on Steam. It’s described as a ” stealth horror FPS”, but I prefer to call ’em ‘sneaky sneaky, stabby stabby’. I’ve been into this sort of a game a while now, since Thief and Dishonored, so I decided to give this a […]
