Went to Game On Exhibition in Edinburgh, absolutely recommend it!
Finally had the chance to go see the Game On Exhibition in Edinburgh and absolutely recommend it! Arcades, old games, new games, hand-held consoles, VR and most importantly games made in Scotland! Two hours well spent in my opinion! The exhibition is still on until November, so if you have time to go, I highly encourage you to!
Unfortunately, Scottish Games Week is not happening this year as it usually would around this time, but that does not mean that games and game related activities are not going ahead, so keep an eye out for news and more!
Recently released games
Judero
Action, adventures and epic boss battles in the Scottish Borders? Judero has got you! Using stop-motion Judero creates an intriguing hand-crafted environment in which you get to travel around, explore folk history and unravel the mysteries of the Borders. Also, mini games! Lots of fun little mini games! So jump into the game and follow Judero on his journey!
Ice Cream Wars
In Ice Cream Wars, released by the fantastic Ant Workshop (you may remember Dungeon Golf), you get the hop into an exciting, fast-paced arcade driving game and deliver ice cream! But beware, for the competition is around too: the evil Gelatoni! Smash the monopoly, deliver ice cream, upgrade your van and take over the town!
