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.

However, it’s a testament to the originality and enjoyment of the game that this is the biggest complaint I can find. More a work of art than a video game, The Bridge is an impressive feat considering it was created solely by two people. Despite its rather short length, it’s a...
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...
It’s far from perfect, but despite its gripes and grizzly bosses, there’s something charming about Tachyon Project that makes you keep wanting to play. Its very simplistic nature makes it easy to pick up and play, making you want to indulge in “just one more level”. The timer system is frustrating,...
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, Whispering Willows is worth a go, especially for those who enjoy a slow, story-driven adventure. Despite its ease and short gameplay time, Whispering Willows has a good story to tell. The emphasis on puzzle and exploration coupled with the 2D side-scrolling presentation is reminiscent of traditional adventure games of the 90s;...
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...
Regardless of whether some scenes may have been inconsequential, and despite some of the gameplay being a little repetitive and drab, there’s no denying the impact that Chaos Theory has. As Life is Strange episode 3 fades to black, you feel like everything you’ve already come to know about the game...
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...
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 –...
