The visual novel genre has always been a go-to for me when I need to play something that’s engaging for the mind without requiring lightning-fast reflexes. The combination of writing that feels like a book, combined with visuals and player input makes these games more than just a digital novel.

Taking a risk in the game industry is a bold move, but it can pay off in huge ways. When I saw Spuds Unearthed for the first time, I could see the potential for a really unique experience. I don’t know where the idea came from to make potatoes and their zombified counterparts the main characters, but it works!

I look back fondly on the days of the arcade. There was a place near to me (the name escapes me), that was filled with pinball machines, classic arcade cabinets, and of course, light gun shooters like Time Crisis and House of The Dead. It also doubled as a bar, so you always left smelling like cigarette smoke and booze, but it was worth it.

One of the things I’ve always valued in gaming is local co-op. As someone who plays with their significant other (known as my Player 2 in our house), any opportunity we have to enjoy a game together, we usually pick it up.

PlayStation VR has made huge strides since launch, with countless amazing experiences to choose from and fully realized titles across the catalog. With so much to choose from, having a unique angle is the best way to catch a seasoned PSVR gamer’s eye.
