Mini Review Those Who Remain - Horror Has Never Been This Dull
As above, so below
Those Who Remain is almost everything the horror genre has tried to get away from for the past couple of years.

It doesn't do anything terrible -- it's just...

We still don't know a whole lot about the game itself, but it's recently been announced that Wired...
Review GRIP - An Inconsistent Reimagining of PSone Racer Rollcage
Not very gripping
Combat racing games have been noticeably absent from present-day conversation. Kart racers continue to live on thanks to their accessibility and amiability, but modern combat racing games seem to have trouble breaking into the public gaming consciousness.

News Combat Racer GRIP Latches on to 6th November Release Date
Get a GRIP

Review Max: The Curse of Brotherhood (PS4)
Making its mark(er)
Marker pens, however old you are, always seem to be the unsung heroes of life: in school, we used them to write the latest playground swear on mucky whiteboards; in college, we used them to cover every inch of our textbooks so we looked like we were learning something; and in adult life we use them whenever the trusty Biro runs...
