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.

Schrödinger’s Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark has plenty to offer. For the platforming fan, it offers traditional 2D side-scrolling levels with enemies to defeat and hard to reach areas to get to. For the puzzle fans it offers endless logic problems to solve, all served up in a...
For fans of the “point and click” game template, Ether One is surely not one to miss. The game may have some glaring issues – the inventory system is far from perfect, and the lack of a map to navigate labyrinthine areas can make the experience more frustrating than it should be –...
On normal difficulty, the game manages to be challenging without being frustrating – if you can’t solve a puzzle or get killed too quickly, you can accept that you’re going about things in the wrong way, and gladly try it again. The fact that you’re not given too much guidance through...
By all means, you should give Titan Souls a go. There is a great game to appreciate, underneath the inexorable encounters with death. However, it’s a shame that only the most truly committed players will ever be able to get the full enjoyment and reward that Titan Souls offers. The majority of us...

I really cannot praise Bastion highly enough. There’s something about the dreamlike graphics and acoustic beats of the excellent music that keeps you entranced in this game. Though simple, the combat is gratifying, and a simple weapon/character upgrade system means that even the most inexperienced of RPG players can jump...

Overall, The Order: 1886 is a thoroughly enjoyable game. The visuals of the game really are stunning and I was kept in awe of how it looked from start to finish. The story is engaging and well-executed, thanks to good pacing, solid voice acting and great action scenes. The gameplay...
Overall, Terraria is a great game that is only sometimes held back by its lack of guidance. Unfortunately the very thing that makes the game awesome is also what makes it quite often frustrating. It’s a hard balance to strike, and Terraria almost nails it, but just a little more...
