​PIXEL REVIEW: OWLBOY PS4 11/11/2025
A story for the ages: Owlboy takes the best of old-school adventuring sensibilities, throws in a few modern twists, and ties it all together with a great narrative. It was in development for yonks, but as Shane explains, the wait was worth it.

​PIXEL REVIEW: DIE HARD TRILOGY PS 9/11/2025
Probe went super ambitious with their gaming adaptation of the Die Hard films. Combining a run 'n' gun, a lightgun game, and an open world driving title, fans were treated to a brilliantly destructive package.

​PIXEL REVIEW: JENNY LECLUE: DETECTIVU SWI 4/11/2025
Death comes to Arthurton: the Kickstarter-funded Jenny LeClue investigation game landed on Nintendo Switch in 2020. Propelled by a marvellous lead character, is this a mystery worth unravelling? Tom reviews.

​PIXEL REVIEW: INDIANA JONES AND THE GREAT CIRCLE XSX 2/11/2025
The partnership we never knew we needed: whip-cracking action hero Indiana Jones, as envisaged by Wolfenstein: The New Order developers MachineGames. Does this puzzle-driven action/adventure belong in a museum?

​PIXEL REVIEW: DEEP FEAR SAT 31/10/2025
We couldn't let Halloween pass without a survival horror review. The final official Saturn game to launch in Europe was trampled by Resident Evil 2, but was there more to Deep Fear, under the surface? Tom takes a deep-dive.

​PIXEL REVIEW: LETHAL ENFORCERS SCD 29/10/2025
The game that saw Konami launch the Justifier lightgun, and bring arcade blasting straight into players' homes. Tom covers this significant arcade port from the early nineties for his latest review.

​PIXEL REVIEW: SUPER BOMBERMAN R SWI 25/10/2025
A long overdue return for Konami's Bomberman. Timed to coincide with the launch of the Switch, Shane sees how the classic party game fared after so long away.

​PIXEL REVIEW: GOLF STORY SWI 23/10/2025
Could Sidebar Games do for Mario Golf what Stardew Valley managed for Harvest Moon fans? 2017 saw a return to the world of top-down golfing adventures, and as Tom explains in his review, it's a bit of a treat.

​PIXEL REVIEW: MECHWARRIOR 2: 31ST CENTURY COMBAT PS 20/10/2025
32 missions from the PC original are accompanied by 16 new levels in this bumper-sized version of the mech action favourite. Shane looks at how shortened levels and joypad controls shape the experience on PlayStation.

​PIXEL REVIEW: SUNBLAZE PC 18/10/2025
A precision platformer that saw Tom die over four thousand deaths. Despite this rather morbid summary, it's a pretty decent precision platformer, as he outlines in his latest review.

​PIXEL REVIEW: STAR WARS: DEMOLITION DC 16/10/2025
Star Wars + vehicular combat! Would this lively action game help fans over those post-Phantom Menace blues? Shane travels to a galaxy far, far away for his latest review.
