I am an actor and a writer. I act quite a bit on stage, a little bit on tv and never on tuesdays. I have had some of my writing published and have written for TV and stage. I have been playing games since they begun and don't seem to be getting any better.

Immortals of Aveum Review

Immortals of Aveum should be praised for its original concept, writing, and new world-building. It's a new franchise that is brave.

The Isle Tide Hotel Review

If you're an FMV fan then you're going to enjoy a lot of what The Isle Tide Hotel has to offer. But just remember - don’t ever leave your room at night. 

Mirrored Souls Review

Mirrored Souls does get frustrating at times and it will test your patience with every turn, but there is a lot to love here.

Urbek City Builder Review

In a genre that is dominated by Cities: Skylines, it’s good to see something new pop up. Especially when it is perhaps a more friendly, simple sim experience like that found here in Urbek City Builder.

Mondealy Review

Mondealy comes in at a perfect price point, especially when you consider the six hour or so adventure you’ll have.

Tenebris Pictura Review

The setup and strange magical story are to be loved in Tenebris Pictura.

The Red Exile – Survival Horror Review

There’s no doubt that The Red Exile - Survival Horror is well put together and it does deliver an interesting concept and thrill ride, but there are plenty of other games in this genre that provide a more diverse experience.

The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation Review

The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation delivers a chilling and superb bit of horror storytelling, complete with some fun jump scares.

Cats and the Other Lives Review

Cats and the Other Lives is clever and inventive.

The Oregon Trail Review

It may not be for everyone with the mix of death and a cartoony world possibly proving to be a hard mix. Maybe the price is a bit high too, but you’ll mostly find an amazing adventure to be had should you take in The Oregon Trail. 

Ultimate General: Gettysburg Review

There’s a high chance that you’ll find the controls of Ultimate General: Gettysburg to be a big issue; one that will affect your enjoyment of the game over its campaign running time. If you can see through that though, then this is a tightly focused game with some brilliant AI and battle tactics to be enjoyed.

Chants of Sennaar Review

In terms of a game, I don't think I've played anything like it. But Chants of Sennaar is also a great puzzling adventure; one set in a mysterious world. 

Running Fable Review

Cheap and cheerful, Running Fable isn’t one that will appeal to single players or those looking for narrative. It's all about hitting the mean online streets, having quick fun with others to see who comes out with bragging rights.

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate Review

This is chess… with a shotgun. Does it need any further selling?

Scarf Review

If you like your games to come with a slower, more relaxing pace, then Scarf will happily tick boxes.

Oceanhorn 2 – Knights of the Lost Realm Review

There is little that is truly original about Oceanhorn 2 - Knights of the Lost Realm. In fact, it could be classed as a budget Zelda game.

Potata: fairy flower – Xbox Series X|S Review

Potata: fairy flower has plenty to enjoy; a solid platformer that is both challenging and fun in the same breath. 

Bright Lights of Svetlov Review

If you want a quick lesson in history, Bright Lights of Svetlov could be the game you're looking for. 

Save Koch Review

Save Koch is a hard game to recommend. The random nature of the procedurally generated events in the city ensures you will want to take in multiple playthroughs, but even then, you may struggle to understand what is needed for success.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – Film Review

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is definitely a better movie than the original non-Energon Transformers saga, but also a less exciting one.

Embraced by Autumn Review

The intro promises some future dramatic, potentially even salacious turns, but not one of the four different stories delivers. It’s all too tentative. In the end, Embraced by Autumn could have done with just a little more confidence and sass.

For the good - the visuals, audio, navigation of paths and occasional combat moments - there are tens of things in XEL that will hold you back.
