I'm the owner and editor of GameSpew.com, which I created alongside my partner in 2015. I write news, reviews, features and list, along with wrangling code, fixing technical issues, drowning in emails and everything else that goes along with running a website. Previously, I was the production editor of Kotaku UK and Gizmodo UK. Away from games, I also run ThatBrickSite.com, a Lego-focused site, and I freelance for Space.com and LiveScience.com.

If you’re a music lover, adding Harmonix Music VR to your VR catalogue is a no brainer. Any session with your favourite album is instantly more enjoyable, whether you want to completely switch off to some relaxing visuals or if you want to unwind by having a bit of fun. If...
All in all, Mantis Burn Racing is a title you can’t go far wrong with if you enjoy a bit of casual racing. The presentation is spot-on, and the game is effortlessly fun to play with its responsive controls and thoroughly enjoyable handling. Hopefully the loading times are addressed in a patch...
If, however, you’ve got the patience to click through lengthy conversations between cringeworthy characters, the heart of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice almost makes up for it. For any fan of the typical point-and-click adventure, the evidence-hunting sections will satiate a need that very few games meet in this...
With its brilliant graphics and mightily impressive physics, had Three Fields concentrated a little more on the zany and fun side of Dangerous Golf and toned down the often ridiculously over-demanding challenges of the later levels, recommending this game would be a no-brainer. As it stands however, there’s still a genuinely high...
In the end, unless you’re a diehard fan of the genre and desperately need a new title to get stuck into, it’s hard to recommend The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II. With a smattering of graphical issues and frequent framerate slowdown to add to the already brimming roster of disappointment,...
In the end then, 7 Days to Die is a promising idea that attempts to put a unique spin on a few overused genres, but ultimately it falls far short of what it intends to deliver. It’s hard to overlook the terribly outdated and buggy graphics, and the fact that...
Despite its few problems though, Monochroma has a charm that’s undeniable. Whilst the graphics might not be the best, the striking art style and beautiful soundtrack carry the game and help to bolster your enjoyment from start to finish. There are some irksome puzzles along the way, but for the most part, they’re...
The problem is, you’ll quickly realise there’s not a whole lot to gain by repeating the same fall over and over again. The skins aren’t worth unlocking, and the styles offer only a slight variation in the same gameplay. Sure, Downwell is addictive and enjoyable enough for you to overlook its circa 1980’s graphics,...
Lumo
Had it not been for the ice sections souring my experience, Lumo could have been a fantastic meditative journey filled with genuinely rewarding puzzles and gorgeous environments. Unfortunately, as it stands, some areas of the game are just too frustrating to even contemplate revisiting; whether it was at the hand of...
It’s hard to recommend Coffin Dodgers to anybody but the most ardent karting game fan who’s desperate for a new title. The poor graphical presentation coupled with the lack of content and replay value means that it isn’t worth the £10 asking price, but if you catch it on sale...
It’s a shame that the bulk of Azkend 2 is hampered by a lacklustre story that feels unnecessary and cumbersome. The actual match-three gameplay is enjoyable, and the mixture of gameplay types on offer add a unique spin on an otherwise tired and overdone genre. If you’re a die-hard lover of match-three puzzle...
At the end of it all though, it doesn’t matter. LOUD on Planet X is not really about complex gameplay or cutting edge mechanics. Everything is simple here for a reason: the focus is on the music. At the very least, LOUD on Planet X is a gorgeously-presented showcase of some...
