Way back in 1987, R-Type appeared on the bullet-hell shoot-em-up scene and promptly blew everything else out of the water. Since then it’s got bigger but not necessarily better, becoming more bloated and seemingly moving away from the pure roots of its ancestor. Well, fast forward to 2019 and a Kickstarter campaign was launched in order to produce the latest and hopefully greatest in the R-Type series. The game in question is
R-Type Final 2 and so I guess the question that needs answering is whether it lives up to the difficulty of the original games, or whether it is a softer, more gentle R-Type.

Cymatically Muffed is a new entry into the burgeoning party game/co-op/PvP genre. While the story makes no sense, the action on offer here is looking to carry us into gaming nirvana. Hold on to your muffs, we’re going in.
Just to clarify, Muffs are the latest invention from a scientist by the name of Dr Wolfe, which can give the wearer a cybernetic enhancement. Using the power of Cymatics (nope, me neither) these headphones are not only suitably massive, but they can apparently make you stronger, faster and smarter! With the ability to monitor your health, inventory and more, they can turn you into a killing machine. This is pretty handy, as in Cymatically Muffed, that’s pretty much all you do!
A strong contender for the “weirdest name given to a game in 2021” award,
Chroma Quaternion is another title from the masters of the retro-styled RPG, KEMCO. And just for a change, this time it’s a first person shooter! Just kidding, of course it’s another retro-styled, turn-based RPG game, and while this may not be a surprise to anyone, there is something to be said for certainty in these unusual times. When everyday life begins to look like a plot from a Tom Clancy novel, the thought of playing another KEMCO game is actually strangely appealing. So come with me to the traditional world of magic, goodies, baddies and massive rucks!
Christ, April 2021 has flown by hasn’t it? In the UK at least, the pubs reopened after Lockdown 3.0, and much of the country has been in various forms of hangovers ever since. As such, we’ve got a shorter list this month, mainly because most of the team in TXH towers have been too busy socialising again to play any games. But there are still plenty of easy achievements available from the latest Xbox games and those new Xbox Game Pass additions that rocked in throughout April 2021. Let’s see what we’ve got.
