🧁🧟♂️ Undead Darlings: No Cure For Love | Nintendo Switch | Review | "Zombie Girlfriend Simulator 2020" 🧁🧟♂️ @UndeadDarlings #GameDev #IndieGames
It’s a game that brings a smirk to your face through its goofy humour and its oddball storyline and it’s keeping me coming back for more of the same.
It’s a good mix of a Japanese visual novel-style storytelling with a heavy splash of dungeon crawling and a sprig of turn-based RPG lite combat. Bake that in an oven with battling cupcakes that are actually zombified creatures that were possessed by a mysterious virus and you get a gloriously ridiculous video game plot that kinda works...you still with me?

🎰 "The First-Ever Retro Slot Machines Review" 🎰 #RetroGaming
There’s a side of retro gaming from the arcades scene that probably doesn’t get enough coverage and that is Retro Slot Machines from the ’80s and ’90s.
Whilst taking a retrogaming trip down memory lane my first thoughts will normally drift towards the likes of the Golden Axe arcade and Outrun games of the ’80s and the NBA Jam cabinets of the ’90s.
But nestled at the back of every arcade was and still is those fruit machines from the past that are forever etched in our memories with their flashing lights and awesome artwork emblazoned across the front of them.
As a kid, I was allowed to play the 10p slot machines and the 2p OXO machines and then as I grew up and visited pubs and bars more often I would play a few goes on the pub and kebab shop machines whilst waiting for my mates to get the drinks in.
So, which retro slot machines get my nostalgia gland working overtime?
Well, let’s see if I can give you 5 of the best retro slot machines from my childhood and teenage years so as you can see how far we’ve come from these retro slot machines right up until today’s online slots and you’ll also see how very similar to online slots these legends of the slots world are!

You’re pootling down the road and realise something is wrong up ahead. There’s been an accident: cars turned into jagged balls of metal and glass, fuel dripping ominously onto the asphalt, the pained groans of those cut to ribbons… and ominous silences from other vehicles.
Nobody else is around - time to step up the plate and save some lives.
But how? Where do you even begin?

Game Title: This is the Zodiac Speaking
Platform Reviewed: PS4
A cool idea based on real-life crimes marred by esoteric implementation and some relatively serious technical issues.
In a happy coincidence, I had watched David Fincher’s 2007 slow-burn thriller Zodiac only weeks before receiving This is the Zodiac Speaking for review and, having a close friend harbouring dark obsessions with serial murderers, I was already acquainted with the heinous, unsolved crimes that plagued California in the ‘70s.
In short, I was in the zone.

The world is a dark place. As winter creeps in (the clocks have just gone back meaning it’s pitch black by 2pm), I am drawn to darker games. No Animal Crossing escapism for me. No, it’s dungeon crawling and shadowy places all the way. And you get plenty of that in Rogue Factor’s Necromunda: Underhive Wars.

☁️ Cloudpunk | Review | PS4 | "Never before have I been so sad whilst holding a controller" ☁️ @ionlands #IndieGames #GameDev
Platform Reviewed: PS4
Rating: 5/10 (MELTING)
This is not the review I wanted to write.
Upon booting up Cloudpunk, ION Lands’ voxel-tastic cyberpunk delivery simulator, despite some clear technical issues, I was HOOKED.
Sadly, eight hours into the game, the issues won out and I was forced to give up entirely. I can genuinely say that this would have featured in my end of year selection but in its current state, it’s a hard one to recommend and instead currently stands as one of the most infuriating gaming moments of the year for me.

🕶️🎰 VR and How it is Impacting Online Slots 🎰🕶️
Playing slots like Centurion by Inspired Gaming can make it seem as though the market has reached the end of its development, as these games really are just that good. But here’s the thing: the slots industry has never been one to sit still, and ever since Charles D. Fey’s day it has constantly sought to be as innovative as possible. The most exciting new development in the field has got to be VR in regard to online slots, a new piece of technology that could flip the entire industry on its head. But what is VR, and how is it impacting online slots at www.wizardslots.com? Read ahead to find out!

Gioteck WX-4 Wired (2.5m cable) / Wireless & JC-20
Gaming controllers are expensive (I look at YOU Nintendo Joy-Cons) and it’s always good to have a solid replacement available at a decent price.
Gioteck’s WX-4 range caters for PC, PS3 and Switch whilst the JC-20’s are their version of the Nintendo Joy-Cons.
Here, I’ll be taking a look at how they rate as replacements for the inevitable Joy-Con issues or simply an addition to your accessory collection for multiplayer action.

Having never played any previous games in the series and admittedly a being little put off by the games mobile roots, it was a gameplay video on YouTube that really drew me into the grandly-titled 9th Dawn 3: Shadow of Erthil.
It struck me as a saucy mix of Diablo and Gauntlet, which is a fair approximation of what you will spend dozens upon dozens of hours doing.
