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.

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 It’s hard to overlook the terribly outdated and buggy graphics, and the fact that...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...
It’s not all bad though. Republique tries to do something different, and although the story doesn’t feel fleshed out enough to be completely engrossing, it’s still got a few hooks to keep you playing; eager to find out more about Hope and her strange surroundings. Fans of stealth will likely forgive the...
It’s probably safe to say that Catlateral Damage is a bit like Marmite: you’re either going to love it or hate it. If you’re a cat person, you’ll surely find several hours worth of novelty entertainment here, but otherwise you might just miss the point of the game. It’s not...
Far Cry Primal is an epic adventure that really encourages you to sink your teeth into the incredible world it offers up to you. Despite a “few” historical inaccuracies and silly nuances, Primal‘s world is believable and immersive, even down to the language spoken – there’s no English accents to be found here....
Despite my misgivings of the LEGO franchise, there’s no denying their success and popularity. It may reuse an age-old template, but it’s one that works and that never fails to bring some kind of enjoyment, no matter your age or gaming preferences. Anybody can pick up and play a LEGO...
Sparkle 2 isn’t going to be a game that you’re going to stay up all night playing, nor is it a game that you’ll call in sick to work for, but it is a game that you won’t be deleting from your hard drive any time soon. It’s the type...
