After spending her childhood playing games with her Dad on the Sega MegaDrive, Holly - AKA 'Titch' - developed a lifelong passion for gaming which kickstarted her dream to write video game narratives, crush the social stigma of women in the gaming industry, and attempt to become the next Hunter S. Thompson. Nowadays you'll most likely find her deeply involved with a fantasy RPG on her PS4, or bothering her pets.

    Born as a concept by Spellbound in 2007, “Project Ravensdale” was shelved until 2013 in order to make way for other games. That was until Black Forest Games decided to create a Kickstarter for the game under the title “DieselStormers”.

  • Why The Elder Scrolls 6 Deserves Your Patience

    At E3 this year Bethesda made plenty of exciting announcements. But one comment has got fans divided: the news that Elder Scrolls 6 is coming, but that it’s “a long way off”.

  • Video Game Movies: Bringing Gaming to the Mainstream

    With the recent release of the Warcraft movie, and the ever increasing popularity of transforming video game concepts into films, I started wondering how well do video games translate to the big screen? And how do they appeal to such a mainstream cinema audience? Over the years, it’s been a popular trend for Hollywood producers to make…

  • Masquerade: The Baubles of Doom Review

    Set in the bizarre circus-like world of “The Realm”, Masquerade: the Baubles of Doom epitomises the RPG style, while taking a whole new spin on the genre. Usually, if someone utters the words “fantasy RPG” when describing a game, my mind instantly imagines a medieval world filled with dragons and greatswords. But Big Ant Studios have developed Masquerade, a…

  • The Fall and Rise of Final Fantasy

    It’s a series that’s been ongoing since 1987, so with the announcement and demo release of Final Fantasy XV this month, I thought I’d take a look back on what made the games great, and what didn’t. Years ago, when my Dad bought me a PlayStation One out of the blue and I was just…

  • MOP: Operation Cleanup Review

    With global warming being an ever increasing problem in the 21st century, Mexican game publisher Ensenasoft have developed MOP: Operation Cleanup – a game where players can vicariously clean the world from rubbish and imposters, while simultaneously having fun.

  • Blackhole Review

    Originally Fiolasoft Studio planned to develop a HD remaster of their previous game, PacIn: Revenge of Nermesssis. Unfortunately – or perhaps fortunately – the project didn’t quite work out, and so Blackhole, an unusual 2D indie platformer game, was born. Based in the year 2121, you are assigned the role of “Coffee Guy” aboard a…

  • Armello Review

    Oftentimes, you can go through the games suggested for you to play by Steam and you won’t find anything worth playing. Sometimes, you’ll find a couple of games you quite enjoy. But sometimes, on a lucky occasion, you’ll find an absolute gem of a game. This was the beginning point for my relationship with a…
