By Marty Mulrooney

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft brings back the iconic first three games in the Tomb Raider series – Tomb Raider (1996), Tomb Raider II (1997) and Tomb Raider III (1998) – to modern consoles and PC.

GAME REVIEW – The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo (PC)

By Marty Mulrooney

The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo is a surreal point-and-click adventure game created by artist, 2D animator and director Nacho Rodríguez, previously the animation director of Ubisoft’s gamified, connected program O.zen.

GAME REVIEW – Burnhouse Lane (PC)

By Marty Mulrooney

Burnhouse Lane is the latest horror adventure game from Rem Michalski, aka Harvester Games. It tells the compelling story of Angie Weather, an agency nurse with a terminal illness who must complete five impossible (and gruesome) tasks to win her life back. Following on from the success of the critically acclaimed Devil Came Through Here trilogy – The Cat Lady, Downfall: Redux and Lorelai – was always going to be a fairly tall order, but Burnhouse Lane builds on the strengths of its predecessors to offer something undoubtedly familiar yet ultimately different.
