So as a games reviewer, I’ve always taken into account the time, money, creativity and effort that go into making a video game. A team of people ranging in size somewhere between one (Lone Survivor and Axiom Verge) to approximately 650 million (Arkham Knight, Dead Space 2) spend YEARS of their time coding and writing and creating and drawing and building and rendering and testing and re-cod...
Like the game itself, I’m going to keep this review short but very sweet. Bleed 2 is a fast-paced 2-D action title developed by Canadian game designer Ian Campbell, AKA Bootdisk Revolution. In Bleed 2, just like its predecessor, you play as Wryn, the world’s greatest hero, as she fends off hordes of invading robots. At first glance, it slightly resembles a 16- to 32-bit Mega Man tit...
Chernobyl: VR Project for PSVR is not a video game. Let me say it again: Chernobyl: VR Project is not a video game. Please don’t labor under the delusion that when you fire it up, you’ll be getting trophies, solving puzzles or killing enormous irradiated two-headed bears. Nope. Fortunately, Chernobyl offers an altogether different experience for your headset. Here’s the dea...
So there are some genres of games I’m just not good at. Have you ever seen me play the NBA games by 2k? I set it on Very Easy and I still manage to lose. And it’s not a close game.

Happy New Year’s, AIR readers! I didn’t want to send 2017 off without one more review, and technically it’s still December 31st here on the East Coast of the USA so I’m just squeaking by. Today I want to talk to you about Fallen: A2P Protocol for the ps4, released just two weeks ago (although a Steam/PC version predates it). With Fallen, indie developer Red Katana seeks ...
Ever since the original Geometry Wars came packaged with Project Gotham Racing 2 in 2003, twin-stick shooters – branching out of classic arcade shooter games – has gained a lot of steam. Housemarque continued to break boundaries in the arcade/twin-stick genre with their PlayStation 3 debut Super Stardust, wrapping the level around a planet, before experimenting more with level design ...
After years of waiting, Daedalic Entertainment have brought console users the joys of now being able to play a game which was initially released in 2012 on PC. The new release see’s the main character Rufus make his return. I personally havent played the original game release, but was ensured that I wouldnt need any knowledge of the first game to be able to play this as it contains...

The Division update 1.8 drops December 5th on all platforms
Blue Wizard Digital has just released the console version of their indie puzzle title Slayaway Camp on PlayStation 4. Launched last October on Steam, the title has also been ported to iOS (February) and Android (June), but it now comes to Sony’s console in an expanded and very pretty edition as Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut. AIR Entertainment was given a review code for the title and ...
My major issue with this game is the overly misogynistic sexualisation of young girls
