PIXEL REPORT: PLAY EXPO MANCHESTER - 10/10/15 23/12/2015
Just in time for Christmas, Tom recounts a busy trip to PLAY Expo Manchester in October. Free-to-play arcade and pinball machines as far as the eye could see, it's a miracle he ever left when you think about it...

​PIXEL REVIEW:
 HEROES OF LOOT VITA 12/12/2015

​PIXEL REVIEW:
 FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0 HD PS4 7/12/2015

Final Fantasy goes the "Tactics" route with Type-0. Does this sixth-gen handheld RPG still make for a good fit on modern home consoles though? Shane looks at how good of a job Square Enix made of this adventurous HD update.

PIXEL REVIEW: MAD MAX XONE 15/11/2015
Avalanche is back! Their more recent cause: to reverse the enduring trend of disappointing film tie-ins. Shane looks at gaming's latest post-apocalyptic adventure. Well, Fallout 4 notwithstanding.
