This year has been something of a belter when it comes to good games, and nowhere is that truer than when it comes to the independently developed efforts that chart among the best games of the last twelve months. So without further ado, here are the top indie games of 2019!  10....

Perchance you’ve been following our monthly column on getting into game design, a holistic approach for beginners to dip their toes into the mystical world of game development. In October, we touched on picking your first engine to start experimenting in, and during November we gave you some...

Tools Up! is a game all about working together to renovate houses. That sounds a lot like work to some people, but the aim of the game is to have fun, not actually do work. It’s not like they’re asking you to actually go and move furniture or do the painting in real life, because that would...

It’s hard to buy for a gamer. Most of the games they want they’ve probably already got, and there’s plenty of useless tat on the market to be bought and never used again by the lucky recipient. Most of their wishlist will be ridiculously expensive bits of hardware that aren’t suitable for...

It’s probably fair to say that the Darksiders series is a bit hit-and-miss. While many people lauded the first as being a very solid, and somewhat gritty, take on the classic Zelda formula, both the second and third entries weren’t received as well. This could well be due to the other popular...

Death Stranding has been out for a few weeks now, and that means you’ve probably seen or read a lot about it. It’s the first game from Hideo Kojima as an independent of sorts, with no higher-ups at Konami telling him no. It’s also one of the most star-filled games in existence thanks to a...

Greetings, budding students! Perhaps you’ve been paying attention to our monthly blog series which dwells on beginner game development for the curious gamers out there. Last month, we talked about the best game engines to start your journey. Alas, even if you figure those out, you’re probably...

It’s November! 2019 is winding down, and men across the world are refusing to shave – not out of some sort of vendetta for kemptness and hygiene, but to change the face of men’s health. November is now Movember, where not shaving has become a movement to help men talk about their mental...

The Spanish Netflix series ‘La Casa de Papel’, known also as Money Heist, is a crime programme revolving around a plan to pull off a colossal heist in Spain’s Royal Mint. With distinctive red outfits and Salvador Dali masks, it’s been a hit worldwide. ...

If I was to say that SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays was coming over to the west, what would you think? It would either be a) bless you, or, b) hell yeah it is. If you aren’t at all familiar with the string of SEO-hating words I just vomited into the first line of this piece, then let me...

If you have a Netflix subscription, you’ll know that biographical crime drama Narcos and its Mexico-set spin-off are both extremely good examples of engrossing top drawer TV (and if you don’t, then well, shame on you then really). Encapsulating much of what makes the television show so...

Not long ago in a galaxy near, near by, Star Wars games were two a penny. It felt like every time you turned around there was one popping out of the woodwork to shoot Han first or podracing down the high street. These days they’re a little more spaced out. This week marks the release of Star...
