EAG 2014: First Impressions: Batman



First Impressions: Batman

I was generally surprised to see this sitting under the Namco Bandai booth actually. A Batman game that is based around the driving, what is this madness!? Anyway it’s a part of EAG so it’s going to be one of few times I’ll get to practice on it for free.

Xynnia Reviews 'Depression Quest'

Developer: Zoe Quinn
Release: 14th February 2013 (PC, online)

Trigger Warning: This review contains some discussion of depression in the context of a game.


The free indie PC game Depression Quest came onto my radar about a month and a half ago, after I saw a Twitter shout-out to support the game on Steam Greenlight. The game was first released on Valentine's Day of last year, but the journey to greenlight it on Steam was long and filled with sexist harassment directed against developer Zoe Quinn. After being taken down once and resubmitted, the game was finally greenlit just earlier this month.

Astral Heat Overdrive: Arcana Heart 3 Results

Arcana Heart 3 is the ultimate mix of niche and action, broken hit boxes, ridiculous rush down, superfast game play and more. Astral Heat brought a lot of the London veterans like Frost, Pawndriver and LordSpectreX. Out of towners like AngelDarkSong also entered to make quite an action packed tournament.

EAG 2014: Transformers First Impressions



First Impressions: Transformers

Well as a major fan of rail shooters, I look at any arcade game of interest which comes within that genre and this game was just up my street. However when I walked up to the machine I had a bit of a Rambo feel about this game which is not good, anyway I tried I anyway and here is what I got.

Sound Race Rankings: London's DJ Max Technika 3 Release Event


We are proud to announce the one of many events we have lined up, and it's an old favourite of ours and it's DJ Max Technika 3. Even with the shut down of the server we are still glad that Toby who is working at Las Vegas Soho has been able to get us the upgrade from Technika 2 so we can at least experience the game. Especially that it gives us a reason to host this: Sound Race Rankings!
