Dredge Mobile

Indie darling Dredge, a fishing game with Lovecraftian horror elements from Christchurch, New Zealand studio Black Salt Games, has made the expected move from PC to mobile – and it’s a mighty good time.

Two years on from the original game’s launch, it’s now available on iOS, MacOS and Android and developer Black Salt says the mobile version includes all the downloadable content that appeared on PC and console versions, such as The Pale Reach and The Iron Rig which will be available as in-app purchases.

Monster Hunter: Wilds, PS5 Review

Guy 240 Views ,  ,  ,  , 

I am narrative focused gamer 90% of the time. Monster Hunter: Wilds has a 9-10hr Campaign with a raft of characters all voiced and animated with extensive cut scenes…and when viewed solely as a narrative experience, it is exceptionally poor.

After the first 2hrs I even turned into KCs own Richards modus-operandi, of hammering the skip button on every cutscene!

Logitech Pro X TKL Rapid keyboard

I’ve reviewed a few keyboards over the years and just when I think I have my favourite, another comes along to fill that much prized top spot.

Currently in the top spot is Logitech’s Pro X TKL Rapid keyboard, the subject of this write up.

The first thing you notice is the build quality. It’s a mix of sturdy plastic and aluminium with Firstly, it just feels nice to type on. I can touch type and typing on the keyboard just feels … comfortable and natural.

The Playstation Portal, hands on

Guy 587 Views ,  ,  , 

Christmas was upon us, and so was the time to buy prezzies for loved ones, or more importantly, buy cool shit for yourself. Cool shit like something that allows you to play PS5 games, lying prone on the couch, while recovering from too much Ham and Potato Salad!

The Playstation Portal sits in the weird middle-ground of looking and feeling like a top-tier portable video game machine, but having no actual processing power and needing to be tethered to a PS5 to be of any use.

Lego Horizon Adventures, PS5 Review

Guy 499 Views ,  ,  , 

Lego Horizon, I suspect it is bit of a coup for Sony, getting Lego so on-board with their Horizon franchise.

Up until now Lego games have been reserved for the biggest of IPs, like Marvel, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. And with a couple of caveats, I can say Lego: Horizon Adventures is a worthy entrant into this storied sub-genre of games, especially with how next-level gooooorgeous it is.

Starship Troopers: Extermination, Byte-Size PS5 Review

Guy 642 Views ,  ,  ,  , 

Starship Troopers: Extermination was in early access on PC in 2023 and was officially released to console and PC in Oct 2024. This 2024 release however resulted in it being sent into the wild with a fatal weakness.

That being, the very similar Helldivers 2 arrived 6mths earlier, and Helldivers is better than Starship Troopers in every single imaginable way.

So, a tough place to start from.

Black Ops 6, Call of Duty

Richard Armitt 579 Views ,  ,  , 

Call of Duty season rolls around again, its almost Christmas and that means its time for new Black Ops.

After a couple of years with Infinity Ward helming the charge through Modern Warfare territory, and let’s be fair the 2023 instalment should have been DLC and a multiplayer update.

It is refreshing to be back in the hands of Treyarch, which as a die hard Infinity Ward fan caught me by surprise.
