Review Candleman - A Relaxing And Illluninating Little Platformer
Look for the light
On the surface, Candleman might seem like an immediate write-off.

Review Galaxy Champions TV - Smash Up Your TV With This Engaging Twin-Stick Blaster
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
Rewind back to last week’s review of Contra: Rogue Corps and we discussed how not getting the basic building blocks of a twin-stick shooter right ensured that your game – no matter how much bloat, padding and on-trend features you bulked it up with – would ultimately fail to keep players engaged or hooked.

The best fighters on Switch
It's ironic that one of the most violent video game genres is also one which has pulled millions of people together; ever since the early days of Fatal Fury and Street Fighter II, the humble 'fighting game' genre has created (and arguably ended) countless friendships.

Review Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns - A Worthy Upgrade Of A Solid Match-Three RPG
A tile matching quest for the ages
Originally released back in 2007 for the Nintendo DS, Puzzle Quest was something of a surprise hit.
