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.

Those that played Amplitude back on PlayStation 2 may be able to gleam some nostalgic enjoyment from its modern offerings, but unfortunately, in a world where Rock Band and Guitar Hero rule the music rhythm game genre there isn’t much room for a little spaceship and its collection of repetitive techno tracks. Had...
It’s hard to find anything to dislike about Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Its captivating storyline will likely have you hooked, and the unique gameplay makes it stand out from the crowd. If you’re a fan of the Persona series, it’s a no brainer that you need this in your collection....
I can’t help but love Guitar Hero Live. The more mature, and frankly flawless, visuals of the game coupled with the new controller works much better than I could have anticipated. The fact that everyone is, once again, a complete newbie is refreshing; we all get to enjoy those small victories...
Perhaps it comes down to the fact I was forced to live out decisions that I didn’t want to make. Perhaps, after having built bonds with these characters over the last nine months, I didn’t like the fact that the game made me experience consequences that I didn’t want to...
Whilst Armikrog may be a short experience, and it may not be the most realised or polished game ever made – for example, the menus are pretty sparse and your in-game cursor is just the standard system cursor – these things don’t detract from the overall experience of the game....
But these negative points are barely even minor blemishes to what is otherwise an incredibly well accomplished open world experience. In terms of value for money, Mad Max offers upwards of 50 hours’ worth of content, and you can’t get more bang for your buck than that. The sheer breadth...
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is certainly worthy of a place in your library – though maybe wait until it’s on special offer. Its short playtime (around four or five hours) provides plenty of awe-inspired entertainment, but once you’ve completed it, there’s little to go back for. The game’s gorgeous...
Dontnod have had me hooked since episode one, but no other episode has kept me on the edge of my seat like The Dark Room has. Truly harrowing at times, the very real and raw emotions at work come through in every line of dialogue and every action Max and...
Even if visual novels aren’t your thing, I’d hasten to recommend Hatoful Boyfriend. It’s a cleverly-written game, with surprises lurking under its pink and fuzzy surface ready to reward players for investing their time. Whilst some people may get bored having to replay the same segments multiple times, those willing...
If value for money is a big deal to you, then you really can’t go wrong with the amount of content crammed into Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess. If you were a fan of Blood Ties, then the extra content in this follow up is bound to satisfy. It offers something original that...
Overall, if you’re a fan of the LEGO games, you’ll not be disappointed with LEGO Jurassic World. Whilst the volume of glitches encountered do hinder the experience somewhat, it doesn’t detract too much from the enjoyment on offer. Yes, it’s rather repetitive and formulaic, so if you’ve already tired of...
Whilst very simple in its nature, the game offers a great deal of fun, and thanks to its pleasant and colourful visual design, it’s appealing to all ages (although younger children might struggle with the difficulty). If you’re looking for a charming little game with a surprising amount of challenge, you can’t...
