Ruaraidh - pronounced Roo-Ree - is a Scottish gamer with the name and games to prove it. He enjoys mostly everything, unless it involves exercise, and much prefers to run around inside a good, open-world RPG, being chased across the lands by a horde of monsters after his sweet loot. When he has made his escape, he will often return to the real world to continue playing anything with a good story - indie or otherwise.

  • Stylish Tokyo 42 is coming next year

    From a single screenshot you can see how charming and stylish Smac Games’ Tokyo 42 is. From the incredibly colourful aesthetic to the zoomed-out camera it just looks very, very cool.
