Wolverine Review : Have claws, will travel
If Insomniac’s latest superhero game, Wolverine, was judged on its looks alone, there is no doubt it would be a 10 out of 10.
This is a seriously good-looking game.

Star Wars: Zero Company – Review
Star Wars: Zero Company has been built by Bit Reactor which is a studio made up of ex-Firaxis developers. The very studio which gave us X-COM 2! Yes, you are correct, a “pattern of awesome” is starting to form. And to top it off, these amazing devs have added into the special tactical-sauce, a full-blown story with an engaging cast of characters, stunning voice acting and a meaningful consequence to choices.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls taps straight into my long running love of the Marvel fighting games. Over 30 years ago I burnt through countless hours and a shit-load of 50 cent coins, playing Marvel vs Capcom on an arcade cabinet in a Video Ezy store in Queenstown. Now in 2026, it has been so cool to be back playing with the heroes I love, with modern approachable gameplay, and sublime AAA graphics.

But, this scepticism is misplaced this time round at least, as Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced, is an absolute gem of a game!

Saros – Review
As a rule, I was not a fan of roguelikes and bullet-hells shooters, well…. I wasn’t until I played Housmarques Returnal back in 2021. They opened my eyes to what great fun they can be, that said nobody else has captured that lightning in a bottle for me since though. Now the game development geniuses from Finland are back with another roguelike shooter, Saros – exclusively on PS5.

Screamer – Review
An arcade racer with a modern anime inspired narrative, made by a team with proven chops in racing games….”yes please!” The new Screamers is a unique offering for the arcade racer space, and in the absence of any new Burnouts or Wipeouts for many years, this is a very welcome release for fans of the genre.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Review
Check out the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE they said, “Sure” I said.
Last year, after several years of happily using an Apple iPhone 11, a family member offered me a Samsung Galaxy S21 that wasn’t working. He told me if I could get it functional again, I could have keep it.
Well, I got it going so have been using it ever since.
