Author: Emily Sowden

This Queen of the button bash was first christened by the Mega Drive back in the 90s, playing games such as Golden Axe and Primal Rage which lead to her somewhat unhealthy obsession with video games. Now she's a monster, spending more time gaming and writing than she does eating or sleeping. Emily loves daiquiris and games that make you scream - or leave dents in your controller from a crushing white-knuckle grip.
  • Corpse Party Review

    For those that haven’t heard of Corpse Party, it’s a game I can’t recommend enough… unless you’re of a delicate disposition. As a love child of JRPGs and visual novels, Corpse Party might make people shy away from 8-10 hours of reading through pages of text and notes and newspaper clippings, but I’d consider it…

  • Stories: The Path of Destinies Review

    Upon hearing the title: Story: The Path of Destinies, many gamers alike may roll their eyes and tut at the unartistic name. However, I implore you not to judge a book by its cover – or rather in this case, a game by its title. Beneath its cliché exterior is something that brings a new light…

  • UnderDread Review

    UnderDread is a first-person horror game where you must brave fearsome monstrosities and solve puzzles to find your missing child. Oh, and in case you didn’t notice that Slender Man Origins 2 Saga for iOS looks suspiciously similar, it’s actually one in the same. Except renamed and made for PC and, you know, doesn’t include…

  • Free Game Friday: Ib

    Replaying through The Crooked Man has reminded me of my love of pixelated horrors so without further ado we’re looking at Ib (pronounced *eeb*) designed in the RPG Maker 2000 by kouri.

  • Superhot Review (PC)

    With Superhot, I see red, black and white. I see contrast in all areas. I see faceless bodies that shatter into a hundred pieces like crystal statues when I put a bullet or sword through them; the remnants dropping like rubies on compacted snow. Six have already perished beneath my fingertips. I turn and punch…

  • Firewatch Review

    Upon receiving Firewatch and opening it up, my first impression was obviously: “Wow, this is beautiful,” only… not quite that calm. Replace the genteel of the words with capital letters and exclamation marks and you’re half-way to what my actual reaction was an hour in. But then, if you know my work, you know there’s nothing…

  • Kôna: A Beautiful and Mysterious Game to Watch Out For

    Kôna is one of those wonderfully deceiving games. It’s not often that we find a game like this, with genre lines as blurred as its snowy, Quebec-based landscape. It’s a survival. It’s an adventure. It’s a bit of a mystery. It’s actually a little bit scary. But all over, it’s avidly awesome. Released this January…
