Pac-Man is back, man.

Paul Morrison0
In case anyone out there isn't tired of paying to own Pac-Man on yet another system, Bandai Namco are wheeling out the pensioner pizza once more... well, 14 times more in their upcoming release, Pac-Man Museum+. Yes, this new pac-age features 14 ghost-gobbling games but curiously, no Ms. Pac-Man. You do, of course, get the classic arcade original, along with many of the usual suspects including Pac-Land, Pac-Mania and the

Tunic – New release

Sparky0
Tunic is an isometric action-adventure game that's part Zelda, part Soulslike, all fox.  It's been on my radar for a number of years now, but finally, the release is imminent.  Hopefully, it will eventually be released on all platforms, but for now, Microsoft has a timed exclusive.  Playing as an anthropomorphic fox, you explore the gorgeous world, fighting enemies and interacting with parts of the world. Structured similarly to Zelda,

Planet of Lana – Preview

Sparky2
The first thing that hits you when you watch the preview of Planet of Lana is how absolutely beautiful it looks. It is simply stunning. The painted cartoon-style graphics look different from anything you've seen before, a feeling I hadn't had since Tarsier Studio's Little Nightmares series. So it's hardly surprising to learn that the Swedish developer, Wishfully Studios, actually comprises one of Tarsier's co-founders. The game follows Lana, a

Retro Faith0
After the initial crowdfund failed to reach its target, Shadow Gangs has come back strong on the second attempt. Anyone who followed the original development will know that Shadow Gangs started out on modern consoles before being ported to the Dreamcast, first as a demo, then as a fully fledged title. We now know that physical copies will be finding their way to expectant backers next year after 400 pledges

TX-1696 – PREVIEW

Bret Pritchard4
There are some fantastic games out currently for the Spectrum Next - games like Baggers In Space, Delta's Shadow and Q*Bee. Nothing prepared me however for what I thought was some new (Meega) Commodore Amiga shoot ‘em up for the cream beast - to be in fact a new Spectrum Next title! As soon as I watched the new teaser trailer with smooth parallax scrolling, huge colourful shiny sprites and
