‘BPM: Bullets Per Minute’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

When Doom was given a facelift, there was a speed and style to it that was new and refreshing. There was a certain rhythm you created in the chaos, and when you found that perfect speed you were flying around the battles bashing in skulls and blowing up the monsters you encounter. This was one […]

by Chris Thomas

Ah… Indie horror games. We tend to remember the few successes but forget the many failures. What Happened is an indie horror game available through Steam.

An Argentinian title which sets you in the blood-flecked shoes of the ‘cleaner’ for a shady government organisation, Nobodies takes a more casual approach, reminiscent of hidden object games more than graphic adventures but comes out a strong and enjoyable title with an interesting premise that gives it more character than similar games.

From the delightfully infectious salsa music that perfectly captures both the Latin setting and the mischievously tongue-in-cheek nature of Kalypso’s twenty year old series to the lighthearted gameplay, I love almost everything about it. Despite this lifelong affection […]
