PIXEL REVIEW: BEYOND: TWO SOULS PS3 30/4/2015
With Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream crafted an interactive movie that was immersive to play, and David Cage's follow-up offered another imaginative means of fusing gameplay and story. Shane offers his thoughts in our latest review.

PIXEL REVIEW:
CATE WEST: THE VANISHING FILES 
DS 23/4/2015
Cate West serves up an intriguing slice of observational puzzling. Gamenauts' casual-friendly mystery offers more quality in design than many of its contemporaries, but how does it fare in portable form? Tom finds out in his review...

PIXEL REVIEW:
BATMAN RETURNS 
SNES 15/4/2015
Chris dons his tightest lycra in order to tackle one of the finest Batman games to have graced a Nintendo platform. Read his verdict on Konami's attempts to put the Caped Crusader into a scrolling bat 'em up. I mean beat 'em up.

PIXEL REVIEW: RESIDENT EVIL 6 PS3 13/4/2015
Resident Evil's transformation from survival horror to third-person shoot 'em up has drawn a lot of comment, with RE6 receiving a divided reception. Tom examines Capcom's ever-evolving zombie epic to see if there's life in the old dog yet.

PIXEL REVIEW: ALIEN RESURRECTION PS 2/4/2015
Three years late, based on an underwhelming movie, and having been scrapped and rebuilt, the omens weren't good for Argonaut's Alien tie-in. Tom wanders gingerly into this survival horror, to see what surprises lie in wait...

PIXEL REVIEW:
FROZEN: OLAF'S QUEST 
DS 24/3/2015

PIXEL REVIEW: THE THING PS2 16/3/2015
A mere twenty-one years after the film hit cinemas, a gaming adaptation (and spiritual sequel) of The Thing arrived. Shane emerges from this nervy, squad-based survival horror to offer his experiences, in our latest review.

PIXEL REVIEW: HOOK 
SCD 13/3/2015
The movie didn't win over critics, but is Sony Imagesoft's Hook game a rare example of a tie-in topping a movie? Tom visits Neverland to play a traditional platformer straight from your childhood (well, if you're of a certain age).

PIXEL REVIEW: ALIEN ISOLATION PS4 9/3/2015
Shane kicks off our Movie March with a look at The Creative Assembly's take on the Alien universe. Can the famed horror series' gaming reputation recover after Colonial Marines, or is it another case of lost in space?
