Anybody who knows me knows I am a sucker for Sci-Fi, and two of my favourite space-based series are Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. While this is a late review of the game, it's one that was sitting in my inbox and one that I felt that I should do for a few reasons: I'm a fan of the series, I enjoyed Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown when I reviewed it four months ago, and I am a fan of FTL-like games. Not picking up Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes and covering it, whatever it turned out like, would clearly […]

I can't tell you where the recent trend of shop-simulator games began. It feels like another one is being released every minute, with little to differentiate them beyond the superficial coating of what your in-game shop is selling. Does Gacha Capsule Slot Simulator - Akihabara do anything to flip that script and make itself stand out? It's recently launched into early access, so let's have a look and find out. History lesson first. The first game I remember playing that really sold me on the joys of running my own shop was Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale. Over a decade […]

When I was young, I was attracted to the fast-paced, attractive football of your Giggs and Scholes, the never-give-up nature of the Neville brothers, and the fact that your Wes Brown and John O'Shea could and did play far above the level people expected of them. It was a good time. Not so much now. Also, absolutely nothing of that has anything to do with Copa City, other than that it's about […]

Normally, when writing a review - or almost anything - I would start with a little blurb or story. Maybe it's about the genre, maybe the developer, maybe it's just some random anecdote that the game has made me think of. With The Gate Must Stand, I've got nothing. Possibly something about the Matt Damon film The Great Wall. Why? Because there's a wall in it. That's about it.

If there's one thing that should be known about me, it's that I am a Trekkie. You can keep your Obi-Wan, the Solos, and the Skywalkers. I will pick Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisko, and Kathryn Janeway every day of the week. That's what makes Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown such a compelling title to me. Even if I hadn't been sent a copy to review, I would have bought this because, as I've said, Star Trek. Now, with my love of the source material out in the open, I'm going to say that this has the potential to […]
